Spawn Origins, Volume 1
Sometimes, when I go on vacation, my old comics packed upstairs in the dusty webbed attic of my summerhouse on the mountains call me begging to be read again... this year it's McFarlane's Spawn turn.This mix of Miller's Dark Knight (the representation of tv journalism, the cape and some drawings), Howard Mackie's smash-hit Ghost Rider (The Pact with the Devil, the chains, the hellish powers), same drawn by McFarlane' Spider-Man (look at the mask and some prospectives) and everything crossing the author's mind (Detectives Sam and Twitch are a cocktail of Oliver-Hardy- and Batman's Bullock-Alfred) is just as not as good as I used to remember (the movie is far worst, thrust me), but artworks aged much well, the Danny De Vito/Joker-Violator always made me laugh a lot, the Billy Kinkaid children murderer issue is a brutal politically incorrect sick-fest and this 90s comic-book shocked american comic-dom being first good quality creator-owned one after years of authors/artists' slavery from major editors.And reading Spawn again was like meeting again a long time lost friend, so four stars are totally deserved for me.
