Ken Kurosawa, also known, unfortunately, as Double K, is a savvy street thug with a heart of gold. Although he is a crook, all his earnings go toward caring for his ailing sister, Mariko. However, Ken has rubbed the wrong people the wrong way and dies rather horrifically in a car bomb. Like Al Simmons, who is referenced several times in this first volume, Double K makes a deal with the devil. He trades his soul just to be with his sister again. As with any deal with such nefarious creatures, Ken finds himself "alive" again seven years later. Dressed in a bizarre costume and sporting incredible power, Ken has a new role to fulfill: that of a Hellspawn. A number of questions are raised about Double K's purpose as a Hellspawn and the possible redemption of the wicked. But like the original Spawn, the questions are left unanswered in favor of action and comedy.
