NEW TEAM! NEW DIRECTION! The return of Al Simmons, and the start of a brand new era for SPAWN! No one quite knows where Al's been all this time, but it's clear he's come back a changed man. Wiser, stronger, and with the memories from an experience that's he's still struggling to understand. Tucked away in a crime-ridden corner of New York City, he's beginning to forge new alliances, preparing defenses, and testing out his newly acquired powers... because there's a battle coming, and it's something that makes the Heaven/Hell thing seem like a petty squabble. So just who did Al piss off so badly while he was away? Paul Jenkins is the next writer of SPAWN. Comics veteran Jenkins will be joining artist Jonboy Meyers starting with SPAWN: RESURRECTION, before the team takes over the regular series with SPAWN #251!

Following the re-introduction of Al Simmons in SPAWN: RESURRECTION #1, we dig deeper into Spawn's time away, the mystery of the word "CHAOS," and Birch, the veteran warrior who is clearly more than he seems. As the city devolves around him, Spawn is an unlikely beacon of hope in the darkness.

The triumphant return of the original Spawn, Al Simmons. Al is back and faces his biggest challenge yet saving the woman he loves from the clutches of Satan himself. Collects SPAWN #256-262

The ORIGINAL Spawn, Al Simmons, returns to Earth to kick ass in the first trade paper; SPAWN RESURRECTION, VOL. 1. Collects SPAWN RESURRECTION #1 & SPAWN #251-255.

Spawn is led to a former church, now an archive of Hellspawn memorabilia. There, Cog tells Spawn of his own life as a Hellspawn, and how Spawn may break his curse. Meanwhile, detectives Burke and Twitch go looking for Spawn. After finding no sign of Spawn in the alleys, the two are confronted by a stranger. Also, Bobby is in despair, practically at rock bottom. After taking a bottle from a murdered drunk, he asks Heaven's forgiveness.
