King Spawn #1

This is the #1 issue you want on your shelf right now. The art work alone is worth every penny, but the story lines are rich. Gunslinger #1 is going to be awesome and the return of Haunt inserted into the Spawn Universe"well played Mr. McFarlane! Read Full Review

This issue was one heck of a ride. While the issue itself is a giant-sized comic, it's a collection of five different short stories. Each one is different than the last but just as enjoyable. I really enjoyed the artwork throughout most of this book and absolutely loved the revival of an old favorite of mine, Haunt. Read Full Review

Working side-by-side with Lewis, Javi Fernandez and FCO Plascencia balance the pages of King Spawn #1 between action and horror. There's an image of Sam and Twitch which perfectly highlights what this pair can do " and just how dark the imagery can get with King Spawn. Read Full Review

King Spawn #1 is the first stepping stone in Spawn's Universe, launching a new mission for the hellish antihero while introducing new allies and enemies into his crusade. I definitely recommend this book for newcomers to theSpawn franchise, as well as longtimeSpawn fans. It also proves that Spawn is more than capable of standing shoulder to shoulder with Marvel and DC's most popular heroes. Read Full Review

A dark mystery is brewing in the world of Spawn. Sean Lewis, with help from Spawn creator Todd McFarlane, crafts a brilliant supernatural crime to expand on that mystery. This tale is great for those who are well versed in McFarlane lore as well as those who find a first issue a great place to jump in. Read Full Review

As a long devoted Spawn fan, it was hard not to drool all over this review. There are some of my favorite creators telling a story that I never tire of. Whether it is the depth and passion that Sean Lewis writes with or the magnificent art of Brett Booth or Javi Fernandez, or Philip Tan, King Spawn #1 was the perfect offering, post Spawns Universe.

King Spawn #1 is an intriguing start to the series that does everything it needs to spark casual and hardcore fan interest. Played out like a hardboiled detective story, the main story draws you into the complex world of angels and demons. The shorts that accompany the main story serve as a good taster and set up for what's to come. King Spawn reveals an ugly supernatural world that's grim in its realism, holding you spellbound to the very end. Read Full Review

A beautiful way to kick off the ongoing Spawn Universe and deserves a look from new and old fans alike. Read Full Review

Artist Javi Fernandez taps into the mood and violence that fans so often expect from Spawn titles and frankly this is a good jumping on point for anyone that has a passing interest and wants an entry. Read Full Review

King Spawn #1 starts off fast, and grows its universe even faster. While existing SPAWN fans will love the new edition to the universe, it may not be the best jumping in point for people looking to dive into the series. Read Full Review

If you are a long running die hard Spawn fan, you'll have no problem in falling in love with this installment. For newer or more casual fans, this may be a head scratcher that requires patience to make sense and in time I'm sure this universe will deliver in spades. Read Full Review

With a who’s who of comic book creators and momentum Spawn and TMP are setting the stage for many books, tv shows, and movies to come. This book is fantastic. A must buy

So great. I am so stoked over King Spawn #1! I thought all stories were good but the main story and Gunslinger really have my interest. Killer art as well. Can’t wait for more.

A strong start, this series has started on the right foot, and what I like is how far it is from stupid, poorly made inclusive ideas and politics, it is only darkness and action. The art is good enough and the covers are beautiful.

I really liked the definition of the Bible by the little one, there are no good or bad, only twisted intentions between heaven and hell. Really cool.

Great art to be sure, accompanied by a narrative that plunges you into twisted conspiracies, Metatron seems to be involved, but then we have someone much more powerful than Metatron, perhaps a new player. However everything is very twisted this is the thing that I love about this number.

"IN LEVITICUS HE SAY: EAT THE FLESH OF YOUR SONS. GOD TOLD US THAT HE WOULD KILL THE FIRSTBORN SON OF EGYPT. THAT HIS WAS THE WAY OF RIGHTEOUSNESS." I can almost shake with this installment, great stories and exquisite art, I definitely want so much more of this.

una grata sorpresa me he llevado con este comic, había escuchado el rumor de que arremetió en ventas así que dije por que no. Un buen arte y excelente ambiente justo lo que Spawn necesita.

If the publisher maintains this quality, I am sure that it will be a faithful buyer of this series.

This is really cool, great art, most of the stories are good, and what appears to be the main one is just great.

I'm not a huge Spawn reader, and I don't agree with a review that says this is for Spawn fans only. I am not and this is a book that I will surely buy, I may decide to buy the series if it continues with such quality.

I am surprised on how reader friendly this is. As long as you google Spawn's basic origin, you should be good to go.

I didn't care for this at all but seeing all the high-rated reviews I checked it out. It was good for a first issue but I don't know, I've never been the biggest Spawn fan (liked the animated series but recent comics haven't been very great) and I don't have a lot of trust in Sean Lewis as a writer. Misinterpreting Bible quotes is something teenagers do to wrongly justify their disdain towards religion, I and every other sane human being have moved past that and I saw the "twist" coming from a mile away. That said, the stories in itself are diverse and pretty good for a fresh start.

Just got into comics, I am glad I did by starting with this one.
