Surrounded by darkness, the citizens of Manhattan are praying for sunrise. The police do what they can to protect the innocent from the onslaught of Clowns, but they lost control of the city a long time ago. Spawn is determined to protect the city from the source of this evil, the thousands of maniac Clowns. To do that, Spawn goes back to his roots with the help of massive munitions and attempts to save a subway car full of civilians. When the people he was trying to save turn against him, a bad situation gets worse as Spawn’s bandolier of grenades transforms the Manhattan subway station into a burial ground. The chaos continues as Al Simmons is left unconscious in the aftermath.

REFLECTIONS: This detail of this wraparound cover by Greg Capullo can be appreciated by examining the front and back cover scans. This is another depiction of Spawn's use of traditional weaponry - a tactic used to extend his lifespan by conserving the limited amount of necroplasmic power with which he was reborn.
