I'm 28. Now, you're reading this, saying "who gives a shit"...Well...I say this because I didn't really grow up with Spawn in a way. I did, because my father ran a comic book shop till I was 9. So Spawn came out 1992, I was 3. I knew Spawn by 5. Then more popular once the character got a movie. Of course, at 8 or 9 years old I thought the spawn movie was fucking "AWESOME" but then I got older and watched it again and knew that was just a dream. Not real. FAKE!

So anyway, Spawn Origins is like a time capsule. We can jump into the 90's once more with words like "Rad" being thrown around. I loved seeing the art of the 90's. What's that? It's very big muscular guys, lots of chains, and demons looking like uglier versions of the things from men in black who wouldn't shut the fuck up.

Spawn Volume 1 gives us the world of Spawn in a few short stories. A couple of them connect, but you can see it's more of a weekly episode type feel. Spawn meets his arch nemesis, also meets a child molester/murderer, we meet Twitch the detective pal, and a few more characters.

What I liked: I'm not going to lie. I fucking LOVE 90's art. I get it. It's over stylized but just like Rumble (Recent comic) or 90's Nightwing, I just freaking love it. It's over the top action and splash pages but it's so awesome to me. Spawn is a pretty cool main lead. Kind of a asshole, but also you can understand where he's coming from. His death is a mystery and remains interesting. The storyline of the child murderer was pretty good too and I liked that. Also the villain, Violator, is pretty fun.

What I didn't like: Some outdated words def feel old. Also some small errors here and there in dialog can be distracting. The exposition is also strong with this one where Todd tells more even though we can see it.

Overall though I won't lie. I had a lot of fun reading it. It's more of a 3.5 but I'ma bump it to a 4 just because it brought back so many memories plus it's 90's in one comic book. Can't hate that too much. Check it out!
