Spawn #11 - Story, Pencils & Inks - Todd McFarlane, Letters - Tom Orzechowski, Colors - Steve Oliff

Jace and Rocky break down Spawn #11 as the 12 Days of Spawn-Mas rolls on. We did it! Well for now because starting in the new year we will have Spawn ... everyday. Meantime, Todd jumps back on the writing duties for issue #12 and we get a bit of a recap of what's happened so far. Also there is the big reveal of who killed Al Simmons, but we wonder if it has enough impact. It might have been better to get a little further along in the story of Simmons past to land this beat with more weight.

Spawn #11 - Story - Frank Miller, Pencils & Inks - Todd McFarlane, Letters - Tom Orzechowski, Colors - Steve Oliff

Jace and Rocky break down Spawn #11 as the 12 Days of Spawn-Mas rolls on. Frank Miller's turn to write Spawn and unfortunately it doesn't hit on all cylinders. The characters, especially the new gangs of villains he introduces come across as a bit two dimensional. McFarlane is at teh top of his game artistically though.

Jace chats with Color Artist Alex Sinclair, who's been working his color magic for nearly 3 decades. They chat about what it takes to get started as a color artist and make an impactful image, plus a whole lot more. Then Alex colors an iconic Jim Lee piece to show us his process.

Spawn #10 - Story - Dave Sim, Pencils & Inks - Todd McFarlane, Letters - Tom Orzechowski, Colors - Steve Oliff

Jace and Rocky break down Spawn #10 as the 12 Days of Spawn-Mas rolls on. This time it's trailblazing creator Dave Sim handling the writing and he pulls no punches as his story gets very meta regarding creator rights and how creators of the past were taken advantage of by the business of comics

Jace is joined by the Bad Idea crew to chat about the company that was. From all the crazy marketing gimmicks, to the much talked about Rules for Comic Shops, this team always played by their own rules. At the end of the day what mattered most was they created some outstanding comics.

Spawn #9 - Story - Neil Gaiman, Pencils & Inks - Todd McFarlane, Letters - Tom Orzechowski, Colors - Steve Oliff

Jace and Rocky break down Spawn #9 as the 12 Days of Spawn-Mas rolls on. This issue the incomparable Neil Gaiman takes on the writing chores and adds a very fantasy element to the narrative. Going back to ancient times and showing us that hellspawns have existed throughout time, while also showing us the fight with the forces of heaven for the first time. Classic stuff!

Christmas comes early as Jace and Jay talk about some fantastic books that are a gift to all comic readers. Chicken Devil #3 absolutely blew the guys away and they both chose it as their Book of the Week. Trail of Magneto comes to a close in #5 with a somewhat expected twist, but the repercussions of the series may be what's most long-lasting. We also have the end of the Kang series which was highly satisfying. All this plus so much more and Jace wraps it up with a run down on some other titles you might want to be on the lookout for.
