NOTES OF INTEREST: This issue was released with two covers - a standard cover and a sketch cover. This comic is an example of the regular edition. The cover art is a parody of Batman #430 – a cover drawn by Todd McFarlane during his tenure at DC during the late 1980s.

ISSUE SYNOPSIS: Celebrity Savior – (part 2 of ?)

As a small online community continues to look into Jim's connection with the Curse of the Hellspawn, the fervor around the world's "new messiah" begins to reach an apex. Meanwhile, the Vatican makes a house call, taking the first steps in their efforts to test Jim's true origin. Sinner or Saint, the church has no intention of allowing his gifts to be used against them.

REFLECTIONS: Batman #430 is probably my favorite McFarlane cover of all time. Translating the artwork over to Spawn must have been a no-brainer because of the character’s overtly similar aesthetic. Either way, both covers are beautiful.
