Spawn is awesome!
Spawn is awesome!
Nice to know Image Comics still has its own following. No other comic company made impressive art an essential part of comics.
The artwork was the reason I decided to give it a try back then. The cover grabbed me like no other comic had. Issue 2 I think it was. Him sitting on his gravestone. I saw it sitting on the shelf and I believe I actually said "oooh" out loud when I grabbed it and had a flick through. Haha. Had the newer issues next to it; Overtkill cover - issue 6 I think? That was the new release for that month. Scooped them all off the shelf (#1 was the only one they didn't have), and that was my first ever comic series that I bought and properly followed, issue to issue.
Not sure what you guys are smoking but the latest issue was awesome. Finally some fucking action scenes, even if brief, still awesome. I loved seeing Jim/Spawn go into The Black again to save whatever the hell her name was. Probably the best issue in a while.
Anybody know what Jim`s first appearance is?
I haven`t read Spawn in years, but I like to start again.
I've seen it said that #2 and #3 was Jim's first appearance, when Al used his powers to change his appearance. I'm pretty sure that was never supposed to be "Jim Downing" back then, just a generic blonde guy, but was apparently later retconned to be him.
The road to 250 continues as we now know details on issue 247 out in early September.
