Previously in Spawn:
Al Simmons was a hit man for the US government until until his C.O. Jason Wyn, betrayed him and a mysterious assassin ended Al’s life. At the moment of death, Al was offered a deal by the demon Malebolgia and returned to Earth as Spawn, a creature with supernatural powers born in Hell.

As Armageddon consumed the world, Spawn turned against his masters, destroying all life on Earth. While God and Satan continue their endless conflict in a parallel universe, Spawn has re-created the world and resurrected the human race in what has become known as the White Light. The portals to Heaven and Hell are closed, leaving humanity free from the influence of angels and demons. Or so he believes…

After a reunion with his brother, Richard, Al’s long-buried memories have re-surfaced. It seems that the mysterious Mammon has been manipulating Al Simmons since he was a child. When he returns to his parent’s home. Al’s father tells him that Mammon’s influence stretches back even further. He gives Al the journal of his great grandfather, Henry Simmons, a journal that carries a dire warning for future generations. The Simmons bloodline is tainted and Al’s mother has been in league with Mammon, since before his birth, marrying Al’s father for the sole purpose of breeding this generation’s Hellspawn

As Mammon draws the threads of his plot together, Spawn has returned with the Wiccan, Nyx, to his retreat in the alleys. Here he is attacked by a Vrykolakas, ancient precursor of the vampire. It bites infects him and Al falls into a fever dream, where he battles against the will of his increasingly powerful symbiotic costume. When the costume tries to force him to kill his beloved Wanda, Al is literally torn apart as he rejects the costume.

Now Al has arrived with Wanda on a mysterious island where he finds Cyan and the Wiccan, Nyx.

As Al announces that he is finally free of the costume’s curse, the costume rises from the lake, looking for a new host.
