Todd McFarlane's Spawn smashed all existing records and became the most successful independent comic book ever published. Revisit classic characters and unforgettable Spawn stories written by Todd McFarlane in Spawn: Origins Volume 4.

While a strange assailant stalks the city, ripping out human hearts, another otherworldly being arrives. As his mind reels, our tortured hero remembers that he struck a deal with the devil in order to return to his beloved wife - five years after his death.

The Clown's story continues. Medieval Spawn survives the Violator's blast, but he is horribly disfigured. Even in this state, however, he is able to best Violator with the help of his living suit's imprisoning tendrils. The Violator's severed head is hoisted aloft as a grisly trophy of their demonic battle. Ironically, the woman he sought to protect from the Violator is sickened by Spawn's true form and flees in flight.

From the files of Mob accountant Joe Sakic, Spawn learns that the Mob believes Terry is Spawn, and they're sending a new and improved Overtkill to kill him! Terry is in a world of trouble framed by the CIA and forced into a midnight rendezvous with the Mob in order to get his kidnapped wife and child back. Spawn decides to help, but is stopped by Twitch.

A Mafia hit man delivers a warning to Spawn that Antonio Twistelli is out to get him. Spawn, unfazed by the threat, slams the thug into the wall and vows to pay Twistelli a visit very soon. Meanwhile, Jason Wynn is returned to Earth after his stint as the Redeemer and viciously reasserts his authority in the CIA.

Terry, mistakenly targeted as Spawn, stands no chance against Overtkill. Luckily, Spawn escapes from Twitch in time to help his old friend. He removes Terry from harms way, while his cape intercepts one of Overtkill's laser beams. Twitch, in hot pursuit, arrives on Spawn's trail just in time to fire a well placed shot in Overtkill's ear, disrupting his programming.

The Mob is fed up with losing their men to an unknown assailant. Finally deciding that Spawn is the killer, they send hit men to kill him. When Spawn defeats these attackers, the mob calls in Overtkill, a cyborg assassin. This foe is unlike any Spawn has ever faced, so he flees their battle to prepare. Luckily, he knows a secret armory stacked with the latest firepower.

Spawn is suddenly felled by painful flashbacks of his own death. But he shakes off the memories and visits Mob consigliere Antonio Twistelli, telling him that he welcomes a rematch with Overtkill. They meet at midnight, fighting to a standstill before Spawn pulls out his heavy weaponry. Even cybernetics offer no protection from such powerful ordnance, and Overtkill is defeated.
