Set in a dystopian future on the brink of Armageddon, Curse of the Spawn #1 (Dark Future) follows a world engulfed by a coming war between Heaven and Hell. The Anti-Pope forges an alliance with evil forces as the conflict escalates, and the issue introduces new Hellspawn and marks the first appearances of Daniel Llanso as Spawn, Desiccator, and Abaddon the Destroyer.
