Spawn: Origins Volume 4
by Todd McFarlane
Well this was decent. Like most Spawn volumes these are fun 90's adventures. Nothing more or less.
So the story here begins with Spawn hurt and getting fixed up. Something to do with Batman or something? I dunno they don't tell you much and it's a odd place to start. Anyway next 4 issues begin the "Hunt" which has basically put Terry, Spawn's friend, in the middle of a all out war and everyone wants him done. Spawn ain't gonna take that shit is he? Then the last one is kind of a weird one about Spawn seeing a different outlook on things and maybe not being a complete dick to everyone he meets all the time.
Good: I enjoyed the stories even if they ended to easily. I actually enjoy seeing Spawn go against his nature as a hellspawn now and trying to help people. The last arc is also fun and seeing him verse someone and not try to kill him was different and interesting. I also think Spawn is a funny asshole a lot of the time.
Bad: The big long talks with the demons are the worst. Like sometimes they have whole pages filled with nothing interesting and demons telling tales and shit. Also the story tries to be more complicated than it needed to be with a simple payoff.
Overall Spawn volume 4, like the last 3, is good old fun time but it shows it's age. I'm wondering if it gets better as it goes along or if it always stays just "Good". A 2.5/3 out of 5.
