Spawn #135

Spawn #135 brings a scorched-earth intensity to Image Comics' long-running hellspawn saga, with a cover by Greg Capullo and Danny Miki that puts the masked antihero front and center — caped, chained, and bristling with dark energy against a wall of fire. At his side crouches a grotesque, smoldering creature, while the whole composition pulses with the kind of raw, infernal menace that defined Spawn's visual identity in 2004. "A Thousand Clowns Part Two" promises the story inside is every bit as turbulent as what Capullo and Miki put on display here.
