Description
There is a war going on between heaven and hell. Earth is the battlefield. Human souls are the prize. On the front lines, where good and evil collide, is a soldier in search of his past and his future: Spawn. HBO presents this groundbreaking animated series based on the mega-successful comic-book series. Combining fantastic imagery with action, romance and high-level espionage, Season 1 of the series introduces Spawn, formerly known as Al Simmons--a CIA hit man whose death causes him to seal a deal with the devil so that he can return to his wife Wanda. Instead, the devil transforms him into 'hell-spawn,' a dark warrior who battles the forces of evil on Earth--and in himself--to uncover the truth about his identity and fulfill his destiny.
Episodes
Burning Visions
Season 1, Episode 1 TV-MA CC SD
The pilot episode of this adults-only animated series about a CIA hit man named Al Simmons whose death causes him to seal a deal with the devil so that he can return to his wife Wanda. But the devil transforms him into 'hell spawn,' a dark warrior who battles the forces of evil on the earth--and in himself--to uncover the truth about his identity and fulfill his destiny.
Evil Intent
Season 1, Episode 2 TV-MA CC SD
Peeved at the death of his three henchmen, mob boss Tony Twist sends a new trio to the alley--and they soon return, bloodied, with a warning from Spawn for Twist to stay away. Meanwhile, top-ranking CIA official Jason Wynn pays a visit to U.S. Senator Scott McMillan to encourage him to run for President--or face ruination by blackmail. Spawn wins the respect of the derelicts who live in the alley, while seeking the counsel of Cogliostro, a sage old man who warns Spawn not to waste his power--and to make the right choices before time runs out.
No Rest, No Peace
Season 1, Episode 3 TV-MA CC SD
A hired cyborg ominously named Overkill engages Spawn in battle in the alley, forcing Spawn to retrieve some of Al Simmons's old 'tools of his trade' from a guarded CIA weapons compound. After enduring a CIA shootout that necessitated a 'teleportation,' Spawn eliminates Overkill and forces Twist to pledge an uneasy allegiance. Meanwhile, a CIA assassin named Jess Chapel is given his latest overseas assignment from Jason Wynn. Awaiting the green light, the impatient Chapel kills time with a local hooker, but cannot escape memories of his role in the flame-filled death of his onetime CIA partner: Al Simmons.
Dominoes
Season 1, Episode 4 TV-MA CC SD
As Mob boss Tony Twist sends an underling named Castellano to Rome to apologize for Overkill's death, we meet Angela: a gorgeous hunter of hell-spawns. Meanwhile, Wanda goes to the park to meet Max, a private investigator who gives her fingerprint evidence exonerating her client, jailed as a serial child-killer. CIA chief Wynn sees Spawn on a tape of Overkill's death, and calls on hit man Chapel to investigate. Wynn pays Twist a visit, ordering him to find the 'thing in the alley' while dropping off a present: Castellano's severed head in a box. Wanda accesses government files to find out who's protecting the real child-killer.
Souls in the Balance
Season 1, Episode 5 TV-MA CC SD
A psycho, grenade-toting preacher named Cain holds a mute boy hostage, threatening to blow up anyone who gets in his way. Spawn is indifferent at first, but is pressed into action when a cop intimidates one of the alley bums. Meanwhile, Senator McMillan gets a call from Wynn reminding him who's boss. The senator tells Wynn someone's been hacking into government files (Wanda, perhaps?) and may have accessed info about the kid-killing ice-cream man, Billy Kincaid. Clown invites Kincaid to a party attended by 'fresh meat.' As Wanda is on the phone finding out that Max (her PI) is dead, her daughter Cyan is abducted. Finally, after we learn that Cain is actually a morph of Clown, Spawn saves the mute boy, but can he save Cyan from the clutches of Kincaid?
End Game
Season 1, Episode 6 TV-MA CC SD
