Batman was almost always #2 switching places with #3 Wolverine some months.

I enjoyed the guest writer issues, but that was it for me.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-19564984619953640702007-11-01T20:20:00.000-04:002007-11-01T20:20:00.000-04:00I read Spawn from the start until right about when...I read <B>Spawn</B> from the start until right about when Capullo took over. At the time, even as a stupid teenager, I remember thinking that it was getting away from the core concept of Image by having someone else do the comic. Anyways, hear hear about Spawn's wide appeal and lasting power. It's not a bad concept, same as the C.A.T.s, and there's a lot you can do with it. I remember adoring these early issues because of the gore and violence and mysticism, but a couple of years ago when paring down my collection I ended up re-reading a few of them and they weren't nearly as endearing -- save for that nice run a little later where he brought in all those guest writers! I was familiar with Neil Gaiman at that point, but those books were among my first introductions to the work of Alan Moore, Dave Sim, and Frank Miller.<BR/><BR/>Very interesting series, G!Lukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352646370918575626noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2734283773701136760.post-80173728129171557942007-11-01T09:17:00.000-04:002007-11-01T09:17:00.000-04:00I was under the impression that the "transforming ...I was under the impression that the "transforming into a white guy" thing was part of the devil twisting Simmon's wish into something unsatisfactory for him. He'll give you what you want, technically, but you'll still be screwed. Kind of the premise for Spawn's whole existence.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
