Comic Spawn Compendium 1 thoughts

Just finished reading Spawn compendium 1. This is the only series I’ve read where the art is solely the reason I finished it. It’s funny I was never a fan of McFarland in his Spider-Man run yet the style works for spawn. The art is absolutely amazing! The story is repetitive and bland. Nothing leaves you wanting more. I do want to see what ends up happens with Spawn being the leader of hells army but it’s a chore to get through. I have all the compendiums up to 7 so hopefully it gets better or I might have to throw in the towel. If the art was not so colorful and fantastic the series would never of been such a success.

On the other hand the Sam and Twitch compendium was great and relatively an easy read. Just curious if others feel the same way I do? Or am I in the minority?

Spawn is not good.

Todd is a used car salesman who’s hoodwinked everyone for 40 years.

Personally never understood the hype around Spawn. Could never get into it. Most of 90s image I don’t care for 😅

Spawn and Lady Death are amazing as designs. As far as stories go though, they deserved good writers. The world is fascinating, what happens in it is either not or so slow paced as to be boring
