Spawn #96: Rules of Engagement #96

About this issue

Heaven and Hell have fought for the souls of humanity since the beginning of time, but what happens when an ancient force steps outside the game entirely? In Spawn #96, "Rules of Engagement", the dark saga created by Todd McFarlane takes a chilling turn as the ancient and powerful dark god Urizen is loose in the world. Two demons wearing the bodies of car accident victims sit in a lonely roadside diner, chain-smoking and calmly explaining the unwritten rules of the cosmic cold war. Neither side may make a major move without a proportionate response from the other. But Urizen does not care about teams. His goal is not to collect souls for Heaven or Hell, but to negate them: the death of the soul, the death of the spirit, the death of the imagination. With razor-sharp, darkly humorous dialogue and moody, atmospheric artwork by Greg Capullo and Danny Miki, plotted by Brian Holguin and Todd McFarlane, this issue delivers supernatural horror, grim suspense and a growing sense of dread. And what does it all mean for the Hellspawn himself? A must-read for fans of Spawn, dark fantasy and occult superhero comics from the golden age of Image.
