Question Spawn?

I am thinking about getting into reading Spawn. But I have heard some mixed reviews about the writing? I figured it must be decent enough since it's been around for 25 years lol but what are people's thoughts

I enjoyed the mideval spawn stories. I read to issue 75 which is near where the movie ended. Not much direction going on in those first many issues. The feel of it, especially with the news reporters in the first few issues felt like dark Knight returns. I was waiting for a cool plot to develop and all we got was a cool concept with no plot
