Spawnography

The Clown and Jason Wynn team-up continues as two of Spawn's biggest foes are taking over New York, starting with the hero's old haunt - Rat City! Meanwhile Nyx is still dedicated to saving her friend's soul and it looks like she'll have to get involved with Mammon to do it.

This week's recommendations are the Thin Lizzy albums Thunder & Lightning and IJohnny the Fox. We also recommend the excellent "Bad Boy" t-shirt by Chloe Brailsford on ithaspockets.gay. Proceeds from the shirt go to funding that site's Operations Lead, Jake. You can check out more of Chloe's work at @chloe.in.pink.

In these two issues, Spawn finds himself dealing with the one guy who just won't stay gone: the Violator. Pratfall kicks things off with the Clown stirring up trouble the way only he can - needling Al in all the right (and wrong) places to get a rise out of him. Then Gentleman Caller turns the screws even tighter, as the Violator takes aim at the people around Al, testing how far Spawn will go to keep his darker impulses in check as he begins to exert his influence even more at the citizens of New York through the vessel of Jason Wynn!

This week's recommendations are the latest amalagam mashups on the Marvel and DC apps specifically DC/MARVEL: The Flash/Fantastic Four by Jeremy Adams and Adrian Guiterrez and Thor/Shazam by Al Ewing and Jethro Morales as well as the big tunes of Cheap Death, specifically the song "Mutant League Football."

Al tries to make his escape but Clown has other plans. With the villain infecting much of Manhattan during a blackout, our buddy Spawn is kind of on the ropes. Is this his new reality?

Spawn is trapped between waking life and nightmare as hallucinations and fractured memories blur his grip on reality. But what does Nyx have to do with this and what's her motive? Has Twitch figured out Spawn's identity? Can Al resolve his past with Major Forsburg? We'll get into it!

"Salvation Road" wraps up in this episode as Wanda and Terry deal with finding out that Al's grave has been dug up and wrestle with what his ghostly presence means in their relationship. Nyx plays Wendy Darling and stitches the amnesiac Al back to Spawn. Jason Wynn has got his groove back thanks to Clown. But is it the real Clown or a hallucination? Can Al trust Nyx? What's in this for her? Will Terry, Wanda, Sam, Twitch or anyone who has crossed paths with Al Simmons ever be happy?! We'll get into it!

This week's recommendations are to watch old episodes of Love Connection to immerse yourself in a little bit of what human connection was like before the dawn of the internet and to check out Tina Romero's directorial debut Queens of the Dead, a queer zombie romp that is a love letter to her father George Romero's work.

Al Simmons is back from Hell — but this time, he's human? Things are certainly not as they seem. Powerless, disoriented, and haunted by his past, Spawn begins a fragile journey of rediscovery on the streets of New York. From a jail cell to ghostly alleys that Al feels compelled to visit, and a fateful meeting with the myserious Nyx, is there a road to redemption lying in wait for Al Simmons? George and Pierce will get into it!

This week's recommendations are to reengage with a hobby that brought you joy in the past but has fallen by the wayside and to listen to The Starting Line's new record Eternal Youth.

"A Season in Hell" concludes and the world is quickly changing for Spawn and Al Simmons. Promised the ability to remake Hell in his own image, it seems that Al has really just been a pawn in the plans of his newest big bad - Cogliostro?! Now stripped of his hellish legacy, Al has returned to Earth without his "shadow." What does that mean for the world famous government assassin? George and Pierce will get into it.

This week's recommendations are Immortal X-Men by Kieron Gillen and Lucas Werneck and for the history buffs out there, Tutankhamun's Trumpet by Toby Wilkinson which relays Egyptian history through the analysis of the objects buried with the king.

Spawn and Redeemer face off! Their battle in the desert pushes Spawn to his limits — body and soul — as old sins and buried guilt claw their way back to the surface. Wounded and dragged toward Hell, Spawn is forced to confront visions of his past life, his marriage, and the lies that forged his damnation. These issues dive deep into identity, faith, and destiny — asking whether Spawn can truly escape what Hell made him, or if he's doomed to become it. We'll get into it!

This week's recommendations are Uncanny X-Force by Rick Remender, Esad Ribic & Jerome Opena as well as a reminder to hug your huggables - the people and animals in your life that make it all worth living.

What's happening, Hellspawn? This week, we have a very special episode for you. We are taking a little break from the saga of Al Simmons in the early 2000s to talk to Chris Killian and Andrew Sanders, the writers of the recently announced Spawn Universe title, "I Saw Santa." We'll get into their history with Spawn and Todd McFarlane as well as dig into how they approached writing this books and how it fits into Spawn's world. With art by Thomas Nachlik, "I Saw Santa" is a classic holiday horror story about a serial killer with an obsession with a certain red-suited man and how Spawn, and Santa himself, handle it.

If "I Saw Santa" sounds like the kind of book you would dig, we urge you to preorder it at your local comic book shop. The Final Order Cutoff (FOC) is Monday, November 3, 2025. The issue is scheduled to arrive in comic shops on Wednesday, November 26, 2025. So get your orders in ASAP! (Especially if you want that sweet Greg Capullo cover!)

This week's recommendations run the gamut! Check out the latest from Paul Thomas Anderson One Battle After Another and if you want a different flavor of Leonardo DiCaprio, check out Fox's Fun House. Our esteemed guests have a number of comic recommendations by some of their Image Comics peers: Doug Wagner's comics - Plastic, The Hard Place & Gun Candy, Geoff Johns & Ivan Reiz "Hyde Street," Tony Fleecs, Trish Forester and Tone Rodriguez' "Feral," and Mike Carey & Jonathan Wayshak's "Cul-De-Sac."
