Spawn decides to use Curse himself as a living warning sign for all the psychos who may came after him next. Meanwhile Curse has abandoned his faith and swears he will have his revenge on Spawn.

It goes about as well as you'd expect, but will Spawn be there to save her?

In this episode of Spawn Daily we meet Curse. A fanatical believer in God who has sacrificed a lot in the name of finding Peace. Don't ask us how his love & desire for peace means blowing a huge hole in Spawn's chest because we're not sure either.

It feels like a shift back to the Heaven vs Hell narrative that we saw the series focus on in the early issues. So much of the recent storylines have focused on the mob angle and Al Simmons past. Now it's time to lean back into the supernatural.

Spawn #25 - Story - Todd McFarlane, Pencils - Marc Silvestri, Inkers - Batt & Billy Tan, Letters - Tom Orzechowski, Colors - Brian Haberlin

The legendary Marc Silvestri joins Spawn for one issue during October 1994 for the Image Creator Crossover month. We wonder if the issue itself has a bit of a different narrative feel because McFarlane played to Silvestri's strength, but this is a quicker read than a lot of the early Spawn issues.

Spawn #24 - Story & Art - Todd McFarlane, Letters - Tom Orzechowski, Colors - Steve Oliff

We get the conclusion of The Hunt storyline as all the thread that have been running the last three issues come together. It's a bit of an abrupt ending but ultimately it wraps up everything. We just wonder a bit about some of the decisions Spawn makes.

Jace and Jay talk about some of the books hitting comic shops the week of January 12, 2022. Stillwater, Amazing Spider-Man and Spider-Woman are real highlights. Plus we give a run down on some other books you might want to be on the lookout for.

Spawn #23 - Story & Art - Todd McFarlane, Letters - Tom Orzechowski, Colors - Steve Oliff

We finally see the big battle between Spawn and the new and improved Overt-kill, but it doesn't exactly go Spawn's way. Don't worry though, help comes from an expected ally and it looks like Spawn may have survived? Meanwhile, Wanda's neighbors are surprisingly vulnerable to Jason Wynn's machinations and we speculate on whether it will be her or Terry Fitzgerald who learns of Spawn's true identity first.
