the Volume 1 TPB of Spawn (which is the first five or six issues) is on my 90's list in the 1992 section. So yeah. We are definitely getting old.

We are. When I realized the Diablo anniversary celebration is its 20th anniversary I felt super old.

I went back and reread the first couple volumes of Spawn and it made be feel SO old, at least in part because I realized the writing was such crap. The premise is cool, but everything about the presentation is not good.

Did you ever read the "edgier" Hellspawn series that came out in the early 2000s? I think it only had 18 issues, of which I own like half. I picked it up because I figured a new spawn written by someone else would be good. It was not to be.

Something seems wrong when someone decides Spawn needs to be "edgier."
