Spawn/Batman

Product Information

After an eight-year gap, the line resumed in April 2022 with Spawn Origins Collection Volume 21 collecting issues #123–128. Spawn Origins Collection Volume 22 collecting issues #129–134 was published in September 2022. Lets begin at the basic writing style of the book. Frank Miller's writing style... is ok, but it can hit on your nerves with all the thrown in words and sentences. To give an example, the first five narration boxes have this (note: I am translating from German):

Batman comes to New York City in his search for an arsenal of high-tech weapons and robots that use decapitated human heads as their brains. Antagonistic, confrontational and suspicious of each other, Spawn and Batman engage in violent battles before realizing they are both after the same villain. Grudgingly, they decide to work together. The person they seek has been kidnapping and decapitating the homeless for use in the robots, but that is only part of the plan: there is also a nuclear arsenal ready to be deployed. IGN can exclusively reveal Lee's incredibly dynamic cover art for Batman/Spawn #1, which features inks by Scott Williams and colors by Alex Sinclair.

IGN also had the chance to briefly chat with Lee about the experience of contributing to the crossover. In particular, we were curious how Lee felt about reuniting with fellow Image Comics co-founder McFarlane 30 years after they and their colleagues left Marvel to form their own, independent publisher. Is it surreal to be making comics alongside Todd McFarlane again?Greg and I talked about it because we didn't want to make it [seem] that Spawn was saving Batman somehow, or make it [seem like] Batman can't help himself. The point of the story at the end is, given that Bruce Wayne is the only one that still has his humanity, he's the only one that can save the day. It's the reason why [the Court of Owls] needed him to do what he needed to do. Spawn was just a tool. They needed Batman because Batman has still got humanity. Not the women, because the women in their lives have died, so they're gone. Spawn is dead. All these cosmic players, they're all meshed. There's only one guy that really is grounded, and that's Batman, and Batman really is the value here. So Spawn just does what he does, which is, "I'm gonna make them afraid of you. Here's what I do."

The Spawn Origins Collection: Deluxe Editions are wider and taller than normal deluxe editions. Each book comes with a slipcase for the book. McFarlane gets to jam with a buddy and use his knowledge of what really matters to fans to push out another banger of a comic. “To me, all this is easy stuff,” he says. “Would doing a Batman Spawn book with Greg Capullo be cool? Yeah. Is it going to look awesome? Yeah. Is Greg having a good time? Yeah. Will the fans dig it? Yeah.” Greg and Todd, a lot has happened since Spawn’s debut in the 1990s, and now we’re in a comic book media boom. What do Batman and Spawn both mean to you, after everything that’s happened with them as characters and the overall medium of comics, in 2022? Batman and Spawn Face Off in Batman/Spawn #1 The Court of Owls Pits The Dark Knight Against the Hellspawn The Epic Crossover from Todd McFarlane and Greg Capullo Hits Comic Stands on December 13There, Spawn speaks with Wanda, who cannot forgive Al for the death of their child. However, she still loves the man inside Spawn. Trying to take out Cyan's knife, Spawn somehow suppresses the suit. Cyan and Nyx appear, and K7-Leetha appears and takes over Nyx. Now controlled by the K7, Nyx tries to kill Cyan and Wanda but is halted by Mammon. The entire group goes to a castle, where Mammon explains his plan to make a perfect Hellspawn. He wants the Rapture to occur so Satan, God, and Malebolgia will be gone. He reveals his perfect Hellspawn is Al and Wanda's miscarried child, Morana. Immortality (to an extent, powers drain when used and full drainage of powers results in a second death) It’s like Braveheart. You either cut someone’s head or get yours cut off. That’s what happens on the battlefield. If you hesitate at any moment, you’ll lose your head. You have to go toe-to-toe when needed. Not all the time, but on the battlefield, you must. Spawn: EndGame Collection (January 2011)– combines Endgame Vol 1 and 2 (issues 185–196 with some altered artwork) Speaking of which, I don’t understand the plot of this comic. Seriously. I don’t know why the events we see here happened. The plot doesn’t make sense!

Spawn appears in Ready Player One. He appears as an avatar fighting the forces of IOI on Planet Doom during the final battle. [67] There's sort of Dead Zones everywhere,” he says. “In this case there's also a couple of them in Gotham. One of them is where they built Arkham Asylum.” What are my experiences with Spawn? I read the first 26 issues, stopping right after the point that McFarlane stopped drawing and Capullo took over. I also read about 25 issues that were released between 2019 and 2021 before giving up soon after the introduction of the new titles. My point in bringing this up is that I am familiar with McFarlane’s writing and art. His art is brilliant. Easily some of the best work you will find in all of comics. It’s unfortunate how rarely he draws these days. His writing, unfortunately, is not good and continues to get worse. Many writers fall into habits and cliches of their own making as they get older or too comfortable but when someone’s writing was subpar to begin with, the result is insufferable. What they did not get around to doing was actually giving this new character a name. “There was never a point [in the script] that says, “And I am __,” Capullo says, punctuating it with a laugh. “But we probably should go on record and give him at least a working name. “ Burlingame, Russ (June 28, 2023).

It’s odd how much implication there is that we are in the midst of a complex plot with many twists and turns for what, in the end, boils down to an excuse to draw Batman and Spawn beating each other into bloody pulps. I guess my point is that despite how confusing all the narration and dialogue make this story, you can pretty much get an equal value out of it if you don’t read anything and instead look at the art and create your own reasons for all the brawling. Spawn: Armageddon (2003; Xbox, PlayStation 2, and GameCube) voiced by Kevin Michael Richardson. [52] Angela (later retitled Spawn: Angela's Hunt) – collects Neil Gaiman's Angela issues 1–3 and the 1995 one-shot. Ugh. just trying to interpret some of the writing in this issue gives me a headache. The only reason I felt like I could follow this at all is because of my familiarity with recent Spawn storylines, and indeed with McFarlane’s writing “style.”
