King Spawn #4 (2021) is a bold continuation of the expanding Spawn Universe, pushing the mythos further into darker, more ambitious territory. Published by Image Comics, this issue cements King Spawn as more than just another Spawn title—it’s a statement piece within the wider supernatural anti-hero genre. Written by Sean Lewis with guidance and plot input from Todd McFarlane, the legendary creator of Spawn himself, this issue dives headfirst into religious prophecy, vengeance, and power struggles that redefine the character's purpose and place in the world.

This chapter finds Al Simmons, the original Spawn, inching closer to accepting a darker prophecy—one that could see him ascend as the ruler of Hell’s armies. But with great power comes the corruption of purpose, and King Spawn is forced to confront what he might become if he gives in to his enemies’ plans. Themes of identity, rage, justice, and legacy weave through each scene, giving long-time readers a deep, thoughtful narrative to chew on.

The artwork by Javi Fernandez is nothing short of masterful. Every panel drips with gothic atmosphere, from the swirling hellscapes to the gritty urban backdrops. Fernandez’s style perfectly suits the tone of the book—violent, raw, and cinematic—bringing King Spawn to life with ominous energy and ferocity. The colour palette, enhanced by FCO Plascencia, leans into reds, blacks, and shadows, casting the whole issue in a menacing, otherworldly glow.

King Spawn #4 doesn’t hold back when it comes to emotional depth either. It expands the conflict not just between good and evil, but between purpose and manipulation. Spawn’s internal conflict—whether he’s a pawn or a king—is explored with psychological sharpness, adding layers to a character already rich with complexity. This isn’t just about war; it’s about what happens when the war is for your very soul.
