SPAWN #376

NEW CREATIVE TEAM For several months, the creature known as Spawn has been missing. Last seen fighting an enormous creature off the coast of Oregon, with other unknown beings of power. Now, the man known as Al Simmons is trying to live a quiet life, his past unknown to those around him. But the truth is a hard thing to hide. Especially when a reporter is looking for the story of a lifetime, a young homeless teen is desperate for salvation, and the last two honest cops in New York City, Sam and Twitch, come looking for their friend. Spawn is drawn back out of the shadows to face the world that he left behind.

Spawn #376 features a brand-new creative team with MATTHEW ROSENBERG (WHAT’S THE FURTHEST PLACE FROM HERE, 4 Kids Walk Into a Bank) taking on writing duties and STEPHEN SEGOVIA (SCORCHED, New Avengers) on art. If you have been curious about the Spawn Universe, this is the place to jump on.
