 What's going on guys Shannon here? spawn volume 2 picks up where volume 1 left off with issues 13 33 of the original single issues For those of you who are more into the spawn origins trade paperbacks You can find the same stories in books 2 3 4 5 and the beginning of 6 Spawn volume 2 contains stories by Todd McFarlane and art by Grant Morrison, Mark Sylvester and Greg Capullo Volume 2 picks up with spawn's power meter showing a level of 7 9 2 6 I don't want to go as much into This volume as I did with volume 1 saw pretty much just be giving you the cliff notes and for everything else You can read it for yourselves Spawn breaks into the young blood HQ like a ninja He knows his way around because he was recruited to be a member alongside his friend at the time chapel Bad Rock the muscle of the team is supposed to be monitoring the security cameras But instead is playing video games while the rest of the team is training spawn makes himself known to the team just before teleporting away with chapel and toe When the two reached their destination spawn reveals his identity to chapel and brands the skull image into chapels face permanently We then returned to New York City alleyways with the clown known as violator Paying a group of children to listen to his stories of his battle with the medieval spawn Short while later. We make our way to Simmonsville a fictional town created at the opening up to hell made of Plasm Taking the form of all the places that out Simmons grew up around Simmonsville is filled with other demons who slaughtered soldiers Who slaughtered soldier after soldier that Jason when sends in to demonstrate to general? Up next is the birth of the anti spawn a Group of beings in outer space consumed by holy fire Teleport a human vessel to their orbital station to bestow upon with the power of heaven to become the anti spawn The human they choose is none other than the man who ordered Alcindon's murder Jason win back on earth the Malabulja torments spawn by revealing the truth to him His body is nothing more than necroplasm and his true remains are still in the grave Later in the alleys known as rat city spawn and anti spawn go at it Spawn is nearly defeated when the homeless people he protects distract anti spawn long enough for out to eviscerate him Up next spawn meets the magician Houdini Butine Houdini teaches spawn how to use magic without actually using up his necroplasm It's after this that we get our first look at spawn's shoelace face It's been speculated the spawn had to stitch his face with the shoelace After his team up with Batman in the Dark Knight Returns Grant Morrison bat verse Where the issue ends with Batman splitting open spawns face with the battering? Since the Batman spawn crossover took place immediately before issue 21 However in continuity It's explained that spawns face was split open by Houdini a bum named Bobby who was an EMT and used a shoelace From an old sneaker to stitch spawns face So he didn't have to use his limited power supply to heal other major stories include Included in this volume are Tony twist rebuilding the cyborg overkill Detective Sam Burke blackmailing police chief banks in regards to Billy Kincaid spawn versus trimmer spawn versus the curse Spawn dealing with his guilt over feeling that he cheated on Wanda with the spawn hunting angel Angela That's right. They had sex During the spawn Angela miniseries nonetheless Spawn's costume gets severely injured Spawn befriends two boys whose father beats them and spawn later attacks him and I Won't give up the ending to that, but let's say it's pretty graphic spawn versus the KKK K7 letha, which is spawns costume Evolves for the first time. This is where we get the big boot and the more spikes throughout his costume The forces of heaven choose another to become their warrior to take down spawn This time his name is the Redeemer, but he looks just like the anti-spawn. I really enjoyed volume 2 Todd McFarlane really came up with some great stories for these early issues Especially not shying away from the from a child abuse story or a black anti hero versus the KKK in the deep south And even revealing that even though Austin and his wife moved on after his death with his best friend He still feels married to her and even feels tortured like he cheated on her with Angela so since Angela is an angel and Spawn is dead, but It's not his original body. It's his body is made up of necroplasm Is it still considered necrophilia? I highly recommend checking out this volume or once again for those of you who prefer spawn origins check out books 2 3 4 5 and the beginning of 6 and If you'd rather just collect the single issues it's issues 13 through 33 plus Batman spawn Plus the spawn Angela miniseries Coming up next week on recommended reading We're going to be getting into the Christmas spirit with Batman Noel by Libra, right Bermejo With respect to Charles Dickens classic a Christmas Carol So take it easy guys enjoy and Don't forget to subscribe And be sure to head on over to our Facebook page links are in the description below
