Spawn #215

Jim continues to expand his public presence with a morning show interview , discussing his powers , his past and the founding of his new foundation. At the same time , various parties -- the Vatican , the CIA , Clown , Bludd , an unknown stranger and others --all with differing interest in controlling or manipulating the new Hellspawn , take steps to further their agendas. With Jim's focus squarely on his own goals , and his confidence at an all-time high , the perfect storm continues to gather around him. threatening the lives of those closest to him and promising to erupt in violent confrontation at any moment , as witnessed by a lone gunman and a sudden rampage that leaves Jim bullet-riddled and bleeding on the floor of the morning show studio -- the whole world witness to the murder of the NEW MESSIAH.
