Spawn #161 - Image


161 issues, and we're just getting to the Armageddon. Seriously! Spawn has fallen at the hands of Judas and is now being reborn by god (?). He has a new body, new powers and the six thousand souls that've been residing inside him, are now moving on to their just rewards. His goal now is to save the world from itself. Armageddon has occured on the west coast, leaving most of California in the Ocean. While the four horsemen have started on the east coast. Everybody in New York is gone except for 1 old man that Spawn runs in to, and happens to have enough knowledge to explain the whole thing to him. So now he has a choice to make, follow the horsemen across the Atlantic, or try to catch up with the millions of demons and angels, the dead of New York ressurected into the service of the war, heading towards Armageddon. He chooses to head west. Whats left of California forms an island off the coast. This is the chosen spot for the final battle. And where everyone seems to be heading. Fantastic art by Phillip Tan, and David Hine's stories just floor me. This title got a little sluggish in the middle of it's printing, issues 60 through 90, but now it is more than making up for any ground that it lost. I'm truly looking forward to this book every month again. Haven't been able to say that for a while. Thank you!
