ORIGINAL INFO: Is this the awesomely fantastic first issue of a legendary series and character?! Weeeell, it’s early Image Comics…

RUMINATIONS: I really need to look into more Spawn. Among a lot of early-Image’s efforts, Spawn is one that has managed to endure fairly well… although obviously its popularity has waned considerably in the 2000s. Not much to say about this one other than people were requesting it, especially for Secret Origins Month (as they also do with TMNT), although few people seem to realize that Secret Origins Month is for stuff from the Gold and Silver Ages, since a lot of those characters they request are only about 30 years old and while writing styles have changed since then, things are still A LOT more different from 70-80 years ago.
People also have requested Doug and I review the Spawn movie… which is not a bad idea, frankly, though once again I’m not really the expert on Spawn, so I wouldn’t be as helpful there other than standard reviewing.
