Spawn cannot find peace. First he discovers the remains of his human body; then Malebolgia torments him. He's transported to Simmonsville, a town built from Psychoplasm and Al's memories. When the Redeemer attacks, Spawn flees to his alley. Sustaining grievous injuries, Spawn is knocked unconscious as the Redeemer prepares to deliver the killing blow.

About the author

Grant Morrison has been working with DC Comics for twenty five years, after beginning their American comics career with acclaimed runs on ANIMAL MAN and DOOM PATROL. Since then they have written such best-selling series as JLA, BATMAN and New X-Men, as well as such creator-owned works as THE INVISIBLES, SEAGUY, THE FILTH, WE3 and JOE THE BARBARIAN. In addition to expanding the DC Universe through titles ranging from the Eisner Award-winning SEVEN SOLDIERS and ALL-STAR SUPERMAN to the reality-shattering epic of FINAL CRISIS, they have also reinvented the worlds of the Dark Knight Detective in BATMAN AND ROBIN and BATMAN, INCORPORATED and the Man of Steel in The New 52 ACTION COMICS.

In their secret identity, Morrison is a "counterculture" spokesperson, a musician, an award-winning playwright and a chaos magician. They are also the author of the New York Times bestseller Supergods, a groundbreaking psycho-historic mapping of the superhero as a cultural organism. They divide their time between their homes in Los Angeles and Scotland.

***Spoilers***
The future Redeemer was originally the Anti-Spawn? Or are they one in the same!? Guess I'll find out if I keep reading.
