The Concept: Al Simmons, once the U.S. government's greatest soldier and most effective assassin, was mercilessly executed by his own men. Resurrected in a flawed agreement with the powers of darkness, Simmons was reborn as a creature from the depths of Hell. Disfigured, homeless and alone, the warrior now known as Spawn wanders the shadowy alleys of New York City in search of his past life.

This Issue: “DEVIL TO PAY,” Part Three—They say when you bargain with darkness, you always have the devil to pay. But which devil, exactly? And what is his price? As Spawn continues to deal with the rebellious witch Nyx and the newly freed Redeemer, he discovers that he may very well be the one who ends up paying. And, in the end, the price could be the one thing he holds most dear.
