Spawn: Origins Volume 3 by Tom Orzechowski, Grant Morrison, Todd McFarlane
3.0

Spawn remains consistently fun if not silly. This one is more broken up than the previous, feeling like separate stories throughout.

We have a couple here. A one shot of Devestator talking about his past. We also have a storyline of spawn. Next up is the Anti-spawn storyline which shows a guy who's basically given the powers of the gods. Meaning holy powers > spawn's devil powers. Last but not least we have a story of Spawn meeting Hudini and learning more about his magical powers.

Good: I really enjoyed the last two issues about Hudini and their training (kind of) and the storyline in that with Terry was fun too. I also dug the first issue as the Devestator is pretty funny. That dumb clown is just disgusting but get a good laugh out of him.

Bad: The Anti-Spawn storyline is okay at best. It's cheesy dialog + bad pacing + predicable superhero fighting.

Overall Spawn remains fun though flawed. That's fine with me, I expected nothing less. On to the next one!
