Spawn #232

I found it interesting as I went through the pages of Spawn #232. You see a scenario that you normally don’t see. Neither Clown nor the person hosting the Spawn symbiote are in control. And that’s the thing that I liked about how McFarlane wrote this, we see one or the other, not both feature characters in one of the longest running Image Comics to date.

Yes, we see Clown and his usual antics that we’re used to when he doesn’t have a grip on what going on. But to see Jim Downing not have control is weird, and that’s saying a lot when you read Spawn comics. I know he’s still comprehending K7 (Other reference to Spawn) inner workings, but the way Kudranski illustrations showed off the flashbacks in this issue was really nice.

You see that classic artwork that Spawn fans have come to love, just a mysterious figure wreaking havoc; and that’s what was memorable for me! Page after page of just raw action, exactly what made me a fan of Spawn in the nineties. Kudranski really did an awesome job on this.

And unlike the previous issue that turned me off with all the text bubbles that cluttered the art work, this issue did the opposite. It focused on the artwork. Fans of Spawn will enjoy this due to the way this comic was done. It was a nice throwback to the way I remembered Spawn. Good artwork, good writing and a great over all vibe.

I’m giving Spawn, issue 232, a 3 out of 5 Nerdskulls.
