King Spawn #30

Two hard-edged detectives stand in the foreground amid crisscrossing crime-scene tape, their weary faces bathed in sickly light — while Spawn looms behind them in the shadows, cape billowing and glowing eyes fixed forward with unsettling intensity. The composition does a clever job of placing the hellspawn anti-hero squarely at the intersection of the mundane and the supernatural, suggesting that whatever investigation these two are working, it's already drawing the wrong kind of attention. King Spawn #30 is a moody, atmospheric entry from Image that promises the gritty street-level tension this series does so well.
