The Hellspawn is caught in the cross hairs of the raging beast Gy-Gor and begins to unravel an insidious plot that leads back to his own deadly past. Meanwhile, an aging reporter has uncovered a secret that has been in the shadows for years and he plans on dragging it into the light of day for all to see. And in the darkest corners of the city, where the dead have eyes, a young girl has become the vessel for perhaps the greatest evil to ever walk the Earth.
STEVE NILES is one of the writers responsible for bringing horror comics back to prominence, and was recently named by Fangoria magazine as one of it's "13 rising talents who promise to keep us terrified for the next 25 years."
Niles is currently working for the four top American comic publishers - Marvel, DC, Image and Dark Horse. He got his start in the industry when he formed his own publishing company called Arcane Comix, where he published, edited and adapted several comics and anthologies for Eclipse Comics. His adaptations include works by Clive Barker, Richard Matheson and Harlan Ellison.
Steve resides in Los Angeles in his bachelor pad with one cat. While there's no crawlspace, there is a questionable closet in one corner and no one is quite sure what is hidden in there...but we have an idea.
4.5* Spawn and Cy-Gor come face to face and one time friends are now deadly enemies. Damascus turns up and gives Cy-Gor a reminder of who is now pulling his strings. Cy-Gor seems to have bested Spawn and Damascus realises that Spawn is Al Simmons. Whilst he enjoys what he thinks is Spawns last moments, Spawn shows himself in all his undead glory. Meanwhile, the young girl that Spawn thought he'd saved is now pregnant with a demon that will battle Spawn for hell's throne. Spawn is trying to reach the human part of Cy-Gor, that of Mike Koninsky. Whilst he hasn't connected to him yet, he's not far off and I think that Damascus is in for a nasty shock when he does. I liked the panels with the young girl, her meeker nature has now been taken over by whatever resides in her and she is taking no nonsense from anyone.
