Spawn #185

Spawn #185 kicks off the "Endgame" arc with a cover that makes an immediate impression — a massively muscled, spiked figure looms in close-up, a torrent of crackling green energy erupting from his neck where a head should be, set against a stark white background that only amplifies the raw menace. Todd McFarlane handles both pencils and inks on this striking image, delivering the kind of brutal, detailed linework that defines the series. With writers McFarlane and Brian Holguin alongside artist Whilce Portacio on interiors, this 2008 Image release signals that something significant is underway for the Spawn universe.
