Revenu à la vie et de retour sur ses terres, il va devoir choisir entre défendre les plus faibles et se ranger du côté des forces corrompues du mal.

Mark continues his attempts to persuade Spawn to exchange lives with him, claiming he is dying and knows he''ll go to Hell and therefore, if he were a Spawn he could be a ruler there instead of a bottom-feeder. Spawn takes Mark on a tour of Hell, puts him through a ritualistic test that rids him of his terminal illness and begs him not to pursue Hell. When Mark still insists that he wants to be a ruler in Hell, he "accidentally" falls to his death with no arrangement as a HellSpawn.

Nyx remembers the past and her old friends, Lily and Thea. Curious what her friend Thea is experiencing in Hell, Nyx asks Spawn what Hell is like.

But The Alleys no longer resemble what Spawn is used to. After walking through the "Phlebiac Bros. Pandemonium Circus," Spawn comes face to face with his nemesis, the Violator.

At the end of her mental and emotional rope, Thea has a gift that can also be a curse: She can see when people are about to die. Spawn appears to Thea, but she''s convinced he''s there to harm her. Hell''s opportunistic lords are quick to take advantage of humans in Thea''s condition, and a smooth-talking, expensively dressed demon approaches her and reenforces her belief that Spawn is out to get her. The demon convinces Thea to give up her soul to him and then reveals, after it''s too late, that Spawn was actually there to help.
