Spawn #33

by Todd McFarlane & Greg Capullo

"Shadows"
Dedicated To: Gene Colan

We're society's garbage. We ain't never going to get a fair shake. As the the intruders, that's your problem to fix.

At least the building's exterior appearance is normal. Mankind sees just another corporate entity... not their attentive protectors.

The uniform! How'd you train it to morph this soon? It should still be incubating! TELL ME! Who's helping you?!

This issue is respectfully dedicated to the memory of Jack Kirby, the greatest creator our industry has ever known. May he rest in peace.

"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...

Violator vs. Badrock #1-4 (1995)

by Alan Moore & Brian Denham & Jonathan Sibal & Danny Miki

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...

Celestine #1-2 (1996)

by Warren Ellis & Patrick Lee & various

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.

"Cursed"
Dedicated To: John Buscema

I'll prove worthy of your empire. I can't begin to know your great plans, Lord, but I must profess that it does confuse me. I'm forced to use technology from the secular world. I've spent the majority of my fortune preparing for your kingdom. Why do you forsake me?

Chapel killed Bobby to get at me. He was just an innocent victim... LIVE!

Blasphemer! BLASPHEMER!

Triumph Comics #31 (Bell Features, 1946)

by Fred Kelly

...This is the work for me... I'm going to spend my life tracking down these weird creatures!! That last encounter banged me up a bit, I'd better design some kind of uniform for protection... light chain-mail would be the best bet!!

"The Dark"
Dedicated To: Dave Sim

That is why, after a very long and difficult deliberation, I've decided to remove her from your care and put her in a new set of circumstances. This, I believe, is for her own good.

You torture yourself for answers that, mostly, you've been given. You're just not trying hard enough. Much as I'm tempted to write you off, you do show some spark.

Call me Gabrielle, Mr. Simmons. If I might have a moment of your time, I really would like to talk to you.

Bloodstrike #4-10 (1993)

by Rob Liefeld & Dan Fraga & Eric Stephenson & & various

It's been a long time coming, Battlestone, but it looks like we're finally gonna get the chance to settle our differences once and for all-- brother to brother!

Bloodstrike: Brutalists #23 (2018)

by Michel Fiffe

Arms, eyes, surgically removed... prolonged state of anesthesia... medical field... official capacity or independent study... Test subjects? Sex slaves? Young women-- girls-- barely out of high school. Brenda will be a senior soon.

Youngblood #7-8 & 10 (1992)

by Rob Liefeld with Eric Stephenson, Danny Miki & Jonathan Sibal

He shot Bobby-- blew his head clean OFF!

As a man who has literally been to hell and back, there is precious little that frightens Al Simmons these days. This, however, comes close. This is the man who killed him. Emerging from the smoke and shadows, he looks like the devil himself, the ghastly white skull he chose long ago as his trademark eerily incandescent in the moonlight. A none-too-subtle reminder of what has passed between these two men... and the unholy bond they share.

It wasn't until later I figured out everything for myself in one divine moment of clarity-- if you had really come back from the dead, then so could I! Thing with me though, Al-- I could care less about love and happiness. You can have that crap. I've got bigger plans for my return-- plans that will change everything... forever.

"Flashback" Part 1
Dedicated To: Shel Dorf

Do you, Wanda Catherine Blake, take this man...

Washington, D.C. The office of Jason Wynn, C.I.A.

In a major coup for Paramount, studio executives have purchased the film rights to Mark Curtis' bestseller, "Courageous Ambitions: The Al Simmons Story."

Cyberforce #1-4 (1992)

by Marc Silvestri & Eric Silvestri

"The Tin Men of War"

The spirit with no fear of man or his machines. The spirit of the bear. The spirit that will guide the hands... of RIPCLAW.

Big crowd, tough talk, looking out for this guy ain't gonna be easy... This city ain't ready for a mutant mayor. Ain't ready for mutants period.

"Home"
Dedicated To: Gil Kane

White middle class computer geek street gangs. At least it's not a talking aardvark.

A turf war-- and Spawn's home is right in the middle of it.

Sure, this is a smelly, filthy rathole of an alley. But it's my smelly, filthy rathole of an alley.

Supreme #1-6 (1992)

by Rob Liefeld & Brian Murray

"Second Coming"

You! Supreme... HAH!! This worn out carcass couldn't be the Supreme! The legend... who led my people to victory at Maxia... bah! YOU DARE INSULT HIS HONOR!!

Your illustrious career and contributions are of course chronicled in history books...

Sentinel, Glory, Superpatriot... all my old comrades... gone. Once Earth's greatest heroes, they were all ultimately defeated by their own mortality!

"Payback" Part 2
Dedicated To: Rob Liefeld

Three weeks ago, Al Simmons returned from the grave.

Got enough firepower to level a small building... or a big cyborg.

I'LL SEE YA IN HELL, BRO'.

HA-HAheeHAR! You look like CRAP! Y'know, the oozy, smelly kind. Now I'm gonna stomp you-- so I can scrape you off my boot-- you piece of TURD!

Brigade #1-4 (1992)

by Rob Liefeld, Marat Mychaels & Extreme Studios

Battlestone... Seahawk... Coldsnap... Atlas... Thermal... Kayo... Stasis...

This new team is much more to my liking. With the proper guidance, this team could be everything Youngblood wasn't... and never will be!

I am Genocide! The mere utterance of my name causes entire civilizations to quake with fear!

Hear me, Taraban dogs! You have dared challenge a member of the Imperial High Council-- an act as foolhardy as it is unforgivable! As council magistrate, I find it impossible to let your blatant disrespect go unpunished. Know now that you have been found guilty of crimes against the crown prince J'nissyde and as a consequence-- --You MUST DIE!

You going to talk about Wildcats 😃😃😃 pic.twitter.com/EkKkCW8Mc5
