Spawn #265

Spawn #265 brings a striking collaboration between Erik Larsen and Todd McFarlane, whose combined cover pencils and inks deliver a visceral three-way standoff in a crumbling stone archway. Spawn himself — white-skulled, chain-adorned, green cape billowing — faces off against a massive pale brute wrapped in green bindings and a sleek, crouching crimson demon with a whip-like tail. It's a tense, dynamic image that makes 2016 a fine time to be reading Image's long-running hellspawn saga.
