I would really like to get into Spawn because he seems cool enough, but am not sure if it would be best for my Christian values.  Could someone help?  I'm not sure he is like the Devil and would not want to like a character who worships Satin.

Spawn is a complicated take on the Christian faith that is pretty enticing. I wouldn't suggest it if you're strictly Christian, due to some questionable themes, but otherwise it's interesting.

He's not evil, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't worship the devil. Though there are some things that may seem blasphemous to a devoted Christian.

Could you go into detail on these themes?

Much thanks.

"Could you go into detail on these themes?

Does he do any of the following or are they just his bad guys doing this?

It's a fault of both parties, I'm afraid, not the more gruesome of them, but Spawn doesn't have a tendency to toy with his opponents.

Well, it's not like Spawn goes around killing kids and stuff. He just takes care of the antagonists...

So he is just a hero who handles enemies with death most of the time?

And he is conflicted like Ghost Rider?

He kills his foes, yes, and I would consider him conflicted due to the fact he can't be with his wife anymore.

Okay thanks.  Why does he fight the people from Heaven?

Alright thanks for the help guys.  I'm going to try and get the first TPB with Todd McFarlane at the comicshop.

I just found this thread, and I gotz to says somethin'.
Spawn started out amazingly awesome. He's unique story was he had been created as an instrument of evil, yet instead ended up more of a hero. Over the years, different writers, and artists have come aboard, and totally destroyed it.
It's true he has fought angels, one of 'em is known as angela (She's a demon hunter), and the other was the Redeemer, a heavenly version of spawn.

I stopped reading when the new, and crappier writers made spawn into a something like a god. He became all powerful, and shiz, and well that just sorta took the fun away from the hero (A lot like superman). Well the new writers, desperate for a story line decided to focus more on religion, than the hero buisseness. Apparently Satan, and god, are reborn in children, and now theres a third party called greenworld, and the leader of it can change her shape, and apparently was once Jesus, and then shit got boring.

So just a recap

Spawns cool

Spawn doesn't worship the devil

Later on it does have a few things a highly religious christian might find a lil' offensive.

The longer it goes on the crappier the art, and writing is.

well thats about it. Try to get some of the earlier ones, like 1-70. They're really shizzlin', nizzle.

I have always wondered, What is Spawn? Is he a demon or something?

He's a marine that was gunned down during a mission. A powerful demon then transformed him into the creature we all know, and love.

Yeah I know that but what is the Creature exactly?"

Huh, Well Thanks Hell-Spawn.

No problem man. so just to clarify... spawn is a demon because he has melded with his suit. which feeds off of necroplasm. spawn has once owned the thrown of hell and he has killed his old master... check this thread out. look at the second to last post: http://www.comicvine.com/spawn/29-3381/spawn-vs-ghostrider/92-19750/?page=last#reply_form
