    Episode 133: "Q&A, Part 1 & 2" - Spawn #207 & #208

    First, we have a couple of letters to cover which is always fun! Thanks to E and Chris for writing in! But then we are back in the Jim Downing era and maybe we are just still riding high on Spawn: Godslayer but these two issues are actually pretty propulsive and fun!  This week's recommendations are to wear earplugs when you see live music! Protect your hearing! And to check out the ghost story comedy The Civil Dead, directed by Clay Tatum. You can always check out George's music - La Cigarette at coolbutrude.com and Witch Crisis.  If you are looking to engage even more with the Spawnmunity, check out the always wonderful RE: Spawn podcast and TinySpawny's Let's Talk Spawn.  Thanks to Freesound for being a great resource for our intro atmosphere and sound effects. Thanks to Blake Whitlow for the always useful Spawn Reading Order.

    Episode 132: Brian Holguin Appreciation Month - Spawn: Godslayer #7 & #8

    Our look at Brian Holguin's Spawn: Godlsayer comes to an end and we are hoenstly sad to be finished with it. This was a really ambitious and exciting work that proves that there are any number of stories that can be told within the world of Spawn. Holguin was a unique talent who left an indelible mark on the franchise and the character. It's a shame that we don't have even more work from him.  This week's recommendations are to make some art, read a book and checkout Michel Fiffe's Bloodstrike Brutalists.  You can always check out George's music - La Cigarette at coolbutrude.com and Witch Crisis.  If you are looking to engage even more with the Spawnmunity, check out the always wonderful RE: Spawn podcast and TinySpawny's Let's Talk Spawn.  Thanks to Freesound for being a great resource for our intro atmosphere and sound effects.

    Episode 131: Brian Holguin Appreciation Month - Spawn: Godslayer #5 & #6

    Our heroes Bairn and Dromo seek out their next adventure in the aftermath of the Urshrek saga and now Neva's deal with the entity that turned Bairn into the Godlsayer takes centerstage. We get into some of the ways that Holguin plays with classic myth and storytelling tropes but takes the time to make them his own through the lens of Spawn. And as is often the case with our show, we wax nostalgic about the X-Men for a bit.  This week'd recommendations are the book Kindred  by Rebecca Wraggg Sykes which examines the life, love, art and death of Neanderthals and Connor Goldsmith and Josh Cornillon's Did You Hear About Mimi Green?, a psychological horror series about influencer culture, cancel culture and the demons we keep even when we think we've dealt with them.  You can always check out George's music - La Cigarette at coolbutrude.com and Witch Crisis.  If you are looking to engage even more with the Spawnmunity, check out the always wonderful RE: Spawn podcast and TinySpawny's Let's Talk Spawn.  Thanks to Freesound for being a great resource for our intro atmosphere and sound effects.

    With Dromo's help, Bairn the mighy Godslayer heads off to face Urshrek, the Winter King! But does he have the power to face the cannibal god? Who is the Summer King that seems to be Urshrek's opposite and what are his plans? And since being slain, what designs does Neva, Bairn's lover and the vessel for the goddess Llyra, have on returnig to her mortal form? Brian Holguin and Philip Tan are really cooking with this one! This week's recommendations are to listen to glam rock progenitors, Slade, and to check out the excellent writing that comics journalist and critic Zach Ribiroff has been doing over at Flaming Hydra, ComicsXF and more.  You can always check out George's music - La Cigarette at coolbutrude.com and Witch Crisis.  If you are looking to engage even more with the Spawnmunity, check out the always wonderful RE: Spawn podcast and TinySpawny's Let's Talk Spawn.  Thanks to Freesound for being a great resource for our intro atmosphere and sound effects.

    Episode 129: Brian Holguin Appreciation Month - "Spawn: Godslayer #1 & #2"

    Brian Holguin Appreciation Month continues and Spawn:Godslayer continues to rock harder than a wizard painted on the side of van. No, seriously. This book is such a fun amalgam of what makes Spawn great, what makes Brian Holguin great and how riffing on classic stories and archetypes with new characters can be a really enlightening way to revisit and reaxamine those themes. Philip Tan joins the book as the main penciller this time around and we are incredibly impressed with the work here. It's moody, fantastic and really inspired. This really is a masterpiece.  This week's recommendations are: first, the latest from Jane Shoenbrun, Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma, a new horror movie from one of the most interesting modern directors and second, to give an old friend a call, not to make plans or anything like that. Just say hello. Let the people you love know you're thinking about them even if you don't talk all the time.  You can always check out George's music - La Cigarette at coolbutrude.com and Witch Crisis.  If you are looking to engage even more with the Spawnmunity, check out the always wonderful RE: Spawn podcast and TinySpawny's Let's Talk Spawn.  Thanks to Freesound for being a great resource for our intro atmosphere and sound effects.

    Episode 128: Brian Holguin Appreciation Month - "Spawn: Godslayer" One-Shot

    We were extremely sad to hear of Brian Holguin's recent passing so we are taking a break from our regular programming to dive into one of his most interesting works within the Spawn Universe: "Spawn: Godslayer." This is a non-canon, high fantasy take on the Spawn mythos we know and love and it showcases so much of what made Brian Holguin a pillar of what Spawn was, is and always will be. This episode and the next four will take a look at this underrated piece of work from an artist who should be remembered along the greats in our opinion. This week's recommendations are Michael Mann's incredible HEAT and the writings of historian Dan Jones, especially The Plantagenets and Powers and Thrones, which collectively are about the entire history of like monarchy and royalty and stuff like that throughout the history of England. You can always check out George's music - La Cigarette at coolbutrude.com and Witch Crisis.  If you are looking to engage even more with the Spawnmunity, check out the always wonderful RE: Spawn podcast and TinySpawny's Let's Talk Spawn.  Thanks to Freesound for being a great resource for our intro atmosphere and sound effects.

    Episode 127: "New Beginnings, Part 5 & 6" - Spawn #205 & #206

    We're wrapping up this arc and Jim Downing's Spawn journey continues as he reckons with becoming a celebrity and something of a miracle worker. The mysterious, villainous Bludd sends three ancient vampires to test Jim's powers, forcing him into a brutal fight where he discovers just how powerful and unpredictable he can be. Still struggling with his identity and mysterious past, Jim becomes increasingly desperate for answers about what he actually is. And us? We're just trying to figure it all out. This week's recommendations are to read an actual physical book, comic or otherwise, as well as the connecticut emo band, Anxious. You can always check out George's music - La Cigarette at coolbutrude.com and Witch Crisis.  If you are looking to engage even more with the Spawnmunity, check out the always wonderful RE: Spawn podcast and TinySpawny's Let's Talk Spawn.  Thanks to Freesound for being a great resource for our intro atmosphere and sound effects.

    Episode 126: "New Beginnings, Part 3 & 4" - Spawn #203 & #204

    We're moving the chains of this plot forward but despite the progress coming at something of a snails pace, we had a good time with these issues. Szymon Kudranski's art is the real standout but it's to see the book settling into a more mdoern rhythm and not fighting with itself over what it wants to be. And what it wants to be right now is a horror-tinged procedural drama with no easily likeable characters and that's perfectly okay! This week's recommendations are Emily Wilson's Odyssey translation, HBO's My Adventures with Superman and to let your friends know just how much they do for you on a daily basis because sometimes we take our friends for granted a little bit and its important for everyone to feel seen.   You can always check out George's music - La Cigarette at coolbutrude.com and Witch Crisis.  If you are looking to engage even more with the Spawnmunity, check out the always wonderful RE: Spawn podcast and TinySpawny's Let's Talk Spawn.  Thanks to Freesound for being a great resource for our intro atmosphere and sound effects.
