Spawn #31

by Todd McFarlane & Greg Capullo

"The Homecoming"
Dedicated To: Tom Palmer
Filled with an anxiety he didn't expect, Spawn breaks into a sprint. Adrenalin pumps harder. He needs his alleys. Moreso, he wants them.

Gentlemen, let this serve as a formal introduction. I am Rafael. I am taking over for Gabrielle, who has been removed as Commander of Terran Affairs.

Earlier today in New York City's Bowery, a "mysterious light" was at the center of the unexpected disappearance of one of the area's leading citizens. Phil Timper had worked with the homeless through various charities and shelters for eleven years, and was honored last year...

Through here we have video records of the shopping mall incident last year in New York that inspired Project Dante... A group of extra-terrestrial beings, strikingly similar to the medieval concept of demons, appeared from thin air...

Where do angels go when they die?

There is an angel who has killed angels. There was a rebellion in heaven once, and she wore the teeth of the rebels as jewelry. She struck them down, and thought nothing of where she was sending them...

I fought a demon on Earth, and he tricked me. He tore out my heart and threw it on the floor.

2017 Heroes Convention Spawn Color Jam Figure by Joseph Michael Linsner


A mere four years after the fact, we can finally double back to look at the alpha and omega of the Heroes Con jam, Spawn. Dawn creator Joe Linsner produced this first figure's line art, then I borrowed the piece from him for further additions. I was still moving the piece around the floor when he flagged me down to apply the color while he had time in his schedule. To be honest, I was so happy with the basic figure that it was worth the expensive I'd paid up front for color, and I'd considered kicking out more money to see if he could color other figures. My grand ambition to complete the piece on the floor of the con that weekend was looking dimmer all the time though, and it seemed best to just get Spaen completed and worry about the rest later. The colors are as gorgeous as I'd expected, and my one regret is that I only have a few blurry photographs at this stage of the jam, pre-&-post Pitt, taken on the floor. For the instance of showing off Linsner's colors, I've taken this image from a later scan and tried to clear away elements that might distract from the core Spawn image.
