Let's travel back in time.

What we're reading this week:

Issue 4 - Death and Glory

• Led by Lord Covenant, the downtrodden army of peasants meets on the battlefield against Lord Rivalen's army commanded by the dark Guy DuBlanc. Soon disgusted by the bloodshed, Spawn declares the battle over. Later, Baron Rivalen meets with Spawn and tells him that his sister, the Baron's wife, has died. Downcast, Spawn then leaves Rhyll to seek his fate in the great world, oblivious that Cog had given the relic of the true cross to the son he had unknowingly sired.

Issue 5 - Crimson Shadows

• A mysterious stranger arrives to tell a tale from the distant past: a tale of a life saved and a life owed. Chretien Du Sang de la Croix had fought in the Crusades, and although he once had saved Covenant's life, he believed in no cause other than his own. Du Sang was a greedy and treacherous hedonist who betrayed his fellow Crusaders, only to lose everything he valued. He shunned the world, and locked himself away in his castle, determined to live out his days in decadence. In a dream, Spawn shows Du Sang his fate, and pays back his debt by allowing him to keep the one thing that now matters least to him: his life.

Issue 6 - Benediction

• DuBlanc continues his search for the Covenant. The Hellspawn, who has taken up residence deep within the forest, defends two peasants against a band of thieves. One of the peasants is about to give birth, and the Hellspawn takes the couple to a nearby convent. At the covent, Sister Immaculata, a seraphic angel doing penance, keeps a dark secret. Longing to unburden herself, she finds no solace. In a desparate moment, a vision of the Spawn appears to Immaculata, causing her to transform back into a warrior seraph.
