Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Todd McFarlane, one of the comic industry's true mavericks, now stands regularly accused of creative negligence and an overt interest in corporate gain. Yet, his seminal dark superhero creation Spawn still has much to offer and interest, if you can bypass the series' inadequacies, commonplace in this 12th volume comprising issues 59-64. The bulk of it focuses on Spawn's plot to avenge himself on his former boss and murderer, Jason Wynn. In the midst of his vengeful plans, Spawn must save baby Cyan from the rancid clutches of Clown and, what does his impromptu meeting with the fallen angel Angela hold for the future? While Greg Capullo still provides excellent artwork (Spawn is the visual equivalent of an explosion of black glass), McFarlane is now forcefully proving that he is a far from effective writer. Cloying sentimentality, ham-fisted religious debate and narrative waffle consistently undermines the flow of the series' hard stories. Yet, when Spawn suddenly regains his true face, McFarlane shows he is still capable of maintaining the intense torment and anger that makes Spawn so intriguing. Even so, Spawn's military precision attack on Wynn's stronghold and his confrontation of his nemesis is excellent stuff and most rewarding to see the all-powerful Wynn finally have the squeeze put on him. Spawn taking control of his situation rather than being consumed by it has been long overdue as is seeing the tormented hero finally getting some payback--or is he succumbing further to Hell's rule? This far in, the key to enjoying Spawn is loyalty and patience, but will it be rewarded with more Spawn toys? Danny Graydon

5.0 out of 5 stars The first book, 31 Jul 2004
This review is from: Spawn: Creation (Spawn) (Hardcover)
This is infact a reprint collectors edition of the first volume of spawn, it is a shame that someone has spoilt a lot of the later storyline in their review.

Spawn is one of the greatest comics i have ever read, i bought this a while back and wasnt dissapointed, unfortunately the second volume is very hard to come by and i have not yet been able to get it.

If you have any interest in comics then read this! If you dont... then still read it, its awesome, nothing like many of the cheesy superhero comics usually created by marvel

4.0 out of 5 stars Rebirth of Billy, 31 Mar 2002
This review is from: Spawn 15: Ascension (Paperback)
For those who aren't familiar with Spawn this is not the best place to start as it is late in the series, but it is definately one of most memorable to fans. Acension eventually signals the return of one of the first "bad guys" Spawn encounters, back in Spawn 5, Billy Kincaid. Billy Kincaid was a child molestor who managed to avoid the Law but Spawn eventually introduced his pancreas to an icecream scoop (see Spawn 5). In Acension he returns more evil than ever with the power to turn the normal person into a crazy murderer.

As a Spawn Fan I loved this book as it is a compelling piece in Spawns understanding of what he must do to save humanity. I'd recommend this to Spawn fans and new-comers to the series alike, unlike past Spawn Compilations the story is not so complicated.

"Boys Screamed, Girls Screamed, so I made him scream and scream and scream"

5.0 out of 5 stars well worth buying, 8 Jun 2002
By stokeslot@aol.com (pembrokeshire, wales) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Spawn 6: Retribution (Paperback)
Spawn :Retribution was the first Spawn book i ever read and I immediately found myself sucked in to this dark and addictive series.this is a collection of moral tales which feaure spawn as a background figure; it explains just enough to understand the background of what's going on and sets the range for spawn to find his moral footing. it also introduces 'the curse', another psycho for spawn's gallery of enemies. After a pear shaped beginning, Spawn begins to realise that he's nothing but a pawn in the games of heaen and hell, and rwalises that he can use his powers to the advantage of others, not just himself. what follows is a moving trek home, and an account of the lives he effects on his way, as well as an insight into his constant torture.
