Spawn #264

Spawn #264 brings together Erik Larsen and Todd McFarlane for a rooftop confrontation that feels genuinely menacing. The cover, penciled and inked by Larsen, plants Spawn — caped and spiked in his signature dark armor — face-to-face with a massive, bandage-wrapped creature bearing a glowing sunburst wound on its chest, the two figures perched high above a brooding nocturnal cityscape. With a story titled "Decay!" and this unsettling opponent looming overhead, it's a compelling 2016 chapter in one of Image's longest-running series.
