Spawn #234

This split-cover design for Spawn #234 is a striking visual statement, presenting the two hellspawn heroes — Spawn and Haunt — merged down the center of the image, each occupying half the composition with their distinct costumes, chains, and supernatural flourishes on full display. Todd McFarlane's pencils and inks deliver the kind of raw, kinetic energy he's long brought to this character, with Spawn's billowing red cape and Haunt's dripping, otherworldly hand making for a genuinely arresting contrast. Labeled "Spawn Costume Origin: Part 2," this 2013 Image issue promises some connective tissue between these two corners of the Spawn universe.
