Its a fine enough issue that serves as an indoctrination for Sam & Twitch into Spawn's world which up to this point they have only been on the border of and serves as the first steps toward them teaming up with Spawn in the future. Spawn isn't seen until the end, from his mission against Wynn in the previous issue, but doesn't do anything here. Its okay, but nothing more or less than that.
As for the new Spawn news, thinking about it, it does seem like the perfect time for Spawn to be mainstream again with the MK11 appearance, the movie, and reaching 300 issues, but hopefully Todd can get all of these projects off the ground. We are talking the following:
- Spawn movie
- Spawn animated series for adults and kids
- The BBC Sam & Twitch series
- Sam & Twitch mini series
- Misery on going
- Still doing the main series
- Still doing McFarlane Toys which they are doing Fortnite, Naruto, Stranger Things, and One Punch Man to name a few
Its a lot for one guy so hopefully Image is helping him get these projects off the ground and going because the time to strike is now while its hot. The Spawn-verse idea is something Spawn did back in the day when the series was hot - Spawn the Impaler, Curse of the Spawn, Medieval Spawn, Dark Ages, Cygor, Violator, Angela, Godslayer, the manga, Sam & Twitch etc... - and while something the series can try again with Sam & Twitch and Misery, hopefully, its something that they make quality products out of and not something like the last Medieval Spawn series (which sucked) or Spawn Kills Everyone (which I have no idea who that was for and consider it one of the worst mini series the franchise has)
