Spawn Compendium, Color Edition, Volume 1 (SPAWN COMPENDIUM TP (NEW EDITION))

Pretty cool buy for completion in life

So as you can tell I’m not really into comics but Keith David’s voice is just too damn good to not check out the source material where he is probably most famously known from.This is a very big compendium as you can tell by the fact that it is almost the same size as video game strategy guides can go to be, and much bigger than volumes of manga will go to be.I’ve been collecting stuff for such a short time, And the only thing I have bigger than this collection, Is my Tomie by Junji Ito hard cover.

I've been eyeing the comic series for a while and finally started collecting and reading Spawn. The art is amazing, great edgy 90's fun. Would definitely recommend it!

Lucky it came in perfect condition. Phenomenal reading. Fan of spawn since the 90's so nice to have all the comics in these compendium

Firstly, at the time of me writing this there are currently 1,666 reviews for this compendium so I’m sorry to be the guy to ruin that, cos that’s pretty cool so like, oops!Now on to the important stuff; this, whilst having its own issues is a fantastic read and not only that but an amazing throw back to simpler and more enjoyable times. Upon re-realising the time that this came out (mid 90’s) and the style of most comics at the time it blew my mind in all honesty, Todd’s art definitely helps of course as it’s timeless in my opinion plus it’s dark, gritty and detailed when everything else in the comics at the time was bright, bulging and over the top.It takes some time for the dialogue to find its feet and the story rhythms to start flowing and no Todd Mcfarlane is not the best story teller but it works, it just works and whilst a fantastic story teller he isn’t he has definitely woven together a fun and interesting universe with intriguing characters. I love Sam and twitch, I love Wanda, Terry and Cyan, even granny Blake almost as much as Al himself. A few villains are great, others passable to downright forgettable but hey ho.When certain story beats don’t hit admittedly it does knock you out of the overall narrative and this does happen a few times but then makes up for it at other times for example when Spawn is weakened after spending some time in Heaven and gets shot back to earth far away from home in Alabama and encounters a certain white hood wearing group.Overall I’d highly recommend. As a kid back in the day I only read up to issue 30 something and always wanted to come back to this universe so these compendiums are ideal and very fairly priced. The only downer as mentioned is the absence of the individual issues covers.

First off ile say ide be giving it 4 an half stars as it had very minor damage but nothing too bad, its very thick book very colourful tad bit too bright in colours but thats just me well worth buying and defo getting second

Great book and arrived in perfect condition.

Great comic.
