Spawn #98

Spawn #98 finds the hellspawn crouched atop a massive, gargoyle-like stone beast against a star-scattered night sky, his crimson cape billowing dramatically as a distant cityscape glimmers below — a striking image that captures the brooding, otherworldly tone this series does so well. Greg Capullo's cover pencils, inked by Todd McFarlane and Danny Miki, deliver that signature blend of gothic texture and raw power that defined the book in 2000. With "The Trouble With Angels" as the story's title, this issue promises the kind of heaven-and-hell tension that keeps Spawn one of Image's most compelling ongoing series.
