The big spoiler after the jump.
From ComicBookResources:
The big Image news of the event came from writer and newest Image partner Robert Kirkman, who took the stage to reveal that in the pages of the publisher’s much-anticipated “Image United” crossover, the villain of the series will be a resurrected Al Simmons–the former hero of Todd McFarlane’s “Spawn” who died earlier this year. On his own Twitter account, “Youngblood” creator and “Image United” co-artist Rob Liefeld noted, “Dark Spawn rises!”
Al Simmons died in Spawn #173, where he blew his own head off. Looks like he’s coming back, Chapel-style, as the main villain of Image United! This certainly makes me a lot more interested in the title!
