“Anybody that’s read ‘Spawn’ recently knows that Al Simmons got fed up and, for reasons that are yet to be revealed in that series, he just decided to kill himself… There is a new Spawn named Jim Downing that’s still learning what’s going on, but nobody really knows what’s been going on with Al Simmons. ‘Image United’ is going to reveal a little bit of that. There are a lot of changes he’s undergone since he technically killed himself — he’s been in Hell and has kind of risen through the ranks of Hell. Time works a little differently there. Now, he’s come back to Earth and he wants to take over.”
