Spawn #96

Spawn #96 finds the hellspawn in full battle mode, with Greg Capullo's pencils and Todd McFarlane's inks delivering a cover that practically crackles with necroplasmic energy — Spawn looms large in his billowing cape and chains while an adversary wreathed in glowing green power surges toward him from below. The composition is all raw force and supernatural menace, set against a cool blue sky that makes those sickly greens pop with unsettling vibrancy. "Rules of Engagement" promises that whatever confrontation is brewing inside, the 2000 creative team of McFarlane, Brian Holguin, and Greg Capullo is bringing serious heat.
