A new era is opening for the HellSpawn. Exit Al Simmons for Jim Downing, a new host of the Hells' offspring. A new artistic team is coming and training Spawn to new heights. Al Simmons is no longer, but Spawn's symbiote has found a new carrier: Jim Downing. Formerly known as "Patient 47", Jim woke up in a New York hospital, without any memory of his past life. Helped by Sara, his nurse, and Mark, an opportunistic journalist, he is seeking to understand the nature of the powers he has been developing since his awakening.
