    Questions Pt.1 last edited by toxin45 on 03/22/23 04:45PM View full history

    While a strange assailant stalks the city, ripping out human hearts, another otherworldly being arrives. As his mind reels, our tortured hero remembers that he struck a deal with the devil in order to return to his beloved wife - five years after his death. The man who was Al Simmons is no more. He has become Spawn.

    This issue was a wild success selling 1.7 million copies during its launch.

Amazing. Spectacular. UBER PWNAGE! All these words describe it. I loved it and have bought #1-4 of Spawn Origins, and have never looked back and sure as hell (pun intended) don't regret it.

He was betrayed and given a raw deal; now he's damned to walk the earth with a really long cape, lots of chains and pouches around his thigh. He's Frank Miller's The Dark Knight crossbred with The Amazing Spider-Man black symbiote costume with...
