Al Simmons Has Risen In “Spawn Resurrection”
The original Spawn, Al Simmons, is set to return in next week’s “Spawn Resurrection.” In a story by new series writer Paul Jenkins, and longtime Spawn artist Jonboy Meyers, Al Simmons retakes the mantle of Spawn after killing himself several years ago. The reintroduction of the original hero has been the subject of much excitement from Image Comics for most of the past year.
Most of us haven’t really been wondering where Al got off to, but to he him return is a very interesting direction for the series. I know myself being a kid who grew up on the mature titles of Spawn, that I can’t wait to see why the character is back. Originally Brian Wood was sent to make the character’s return but due to creative differences he left the book before we saw anything of his on the page. Something tells me that Spawn creator, Todd McFarlane is still way to invested to let go…
New series writer and Eisner Award-winner Paul Jenkins (Revelations, Batman: The Dark Knight) teams up with artist Jonboy Meyers (The Savage She-Hulks, Marvel Adventures Spider-Man) to shed light on Al Simmons’ tragic past in the collectible issue, SPAWN: RESURRECTION #1. Al Simmons’ highly-anticipated return to the series will then pick up with SPAWN #251.
Five years ago, Al Simmons removed himself to a state of limbo by means of suicide. But what tragic revelation could persuade him to finally return to the city, and how is this connected to the very creation of humanity? Featuring a special guest character: God. Trust us: you’ve never read a SPAWN comic like this before.
SPAWN: RESURRECTION #1 hits stores on March 11th and can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code DEC140602. Cover B by McFarlane can be pre-ordered using Diamond Code DEC140603.
What do you guys think of this tease? Are you looking forward to seeing the original Spawn return?
