Spawn #317

Spawn strides forward through a scorched, crumbling cityscape, his spiked chains binding two skeletal, creature-like figures at his sides — the whole scene radiating a grim, otherworldly power. Flames lick the cracked earth beneath his feet, a skull rests in the foreground, and a billowing cape frames his armored silhouette against a smoke-choked sky. It's a commanding image that showcases everything that has kept Todd McFarlane's long-running Image series going strong well past issue 300.
