The middle is so much better than previous volumes, but the last two issues get messy and dumb.

The start isn't bad. Bringing in "The Curse" which is a villain of sorts to try and hunt Spawn was both fun and turns to a brutal fight which Spawn takes care of him with viciousness I love to see. Wanda also comes into Spawn's life some more in a interesting way. The middle issues dealing with child abuse are really dark but well done. The issue with Racism is solid though a bit unsatisfying in the end. Guess that's life. The final two issues deal with the Redeemer and it's just okay...kind of got wonky and dumb.

A 3 out of 5.
