Synopsis for "Extreme Sacrifice part 0"
Chapel wakes up in Limbo watched over by the demon Naza’rhat. He just wants to be like Spawn, but Naza’rhat tells him he is meant for far more. The demon shows him a vision of himself leading a demon army through Washington, D.C. in the late 21st century. When Chapel died, he went to Hell and, over time, became powerful enough to overthrow Lucifer. As Lord Chapel, he and his army chased Lucifer to Earth and slaughtered millions of people. After killing Lucifer, Lord Chapel went on to conquer half the galaxy. On Earth, however, the superhuman Newborn--son of the New Men’s Dash and Reign--rose against Lord Chapel and eventually killed him. Learning he has just been resurrected, Lord Chapel regains his memory and plans to kill the Newborn before his rise to power. Crypt offers to help.

Synopsis for "Into the Catacombs"
Cougar races across town only to find Slink beat him there. Slink shows him a shortcut to Africa by leading him through “the Catacombs”, a maze-like interdimensional space. They arrive at the Temple of Kahega in the Jakarra kingdom. Cougar finds Praedon, his late father’s advisor, tied up. Praedon explains that he discovered Cougar’s mother Meg was being poisoned in a coup attempt and tried to stop the plotters. Cougar realizes the plot was led by his enemy, Lynx, just as she shows herself. They fight, and Cougar defeats her. Saved by an antidote from Praedon, Meg stops Cougar from killing Lynx and reveals the woman is his paternal half-sister. Lynx attacks Cougar again, but Slink steps in and defeats her. Cougar orders the Jakarra to exile her to the jungle until she overcomes her anger. Slink then declares that Cougar will take a more active role in ruling Jakarra now that he can arrive quickly via the Catacombs.
