Spawn #117

Arising out of young Eddie's search for revenge on the Hellspawn , the Redeemer finds Spawn in the desert and intends to finally settle the score. As the battle between the two is taking place , the mysterious stranger visits Eddie's bedside in the hospital and reveals the truth to an unconscious Eddie that has always been impossible for him to admit: His father was an abusive , drunken brute. While the truth could kill Eddie , it has the Redeemer examining his own motives. After receiving a final crushing blow from the Redeemer , Spawn lays on the desert floor while two patiently waiting scorpions do what they have been sent to do: drag the Hellspawn down into the bowels of Hell.
