Ratings and reviews

My mother's family knew the author forty five or so years ago. He was very quiet and strange and loved baseball. This comic had a very disturbing effect on a childhood friend of mine who was vulnerable to this dark comic, he ended up in the psych ward and i havent heard from him in seventeen years or so. Vanished from my social circle. Probably gone forever. I really think the authors of superviolent comics need to be held accountable for stuff like this. Its not fair they get wealth from vulnerable children's mental illness. Just saying.

Spawn is the first antihero I discovered decades ago as a wee child. At that time, when superheroes were all goody-two-shoes types like Superman, Spiderman, and Batman, Spawn was a refreshing and distinct break from the norm, an exception in that a hero doesn't need to look or be like the established mold and yet can still be successful, popular and well-loved. I never liked Marvel or DC Comics' superheroes. Getting introduced to Spawn made me understand why. He is a guy doing things considered evil but with good intentions, and he knows how to push boundaries that traditional superheroes would never cross. Spawn's success as the founding comic of Image Comics inspired other antiheroes by the same publisher such as Witchblade and The Darkness, and even other publishers now find that antiheroes can be just as beloved as traditional superheroes, if not more. This volume also has incredible image quality, better than the majority of comics here, likely due to it being the Digital Edition.

The rawes on the concept being a hero with no limit line the ultimate decision in his hands but his no sait so why star now it just make so dark but you can't judge him for making the call he did obviously
