DC Comics News - Carl Bryan
Dec 31, 2021This is the #5 issue and it provides a "control alt delete" that makes us think about all we knew about Spawn's origin. The graphic depiction of that bullet taking Al's life at the hands of none other than"Uh-uh. Not me"I'm not spoiling this one for any Spawn fan! Buy this issue! Read Full Review

Dec 16, 2021On top of all the juicy details Lewis provides, Javier Fernandez's artwork continues to shine. Metaphorically, not literally " some rather gruesome stuff takes place on these pages. He and FCO Plascencia have amazing chemistry, which is on display in King Spawn #5 as much as any issue. Read Full Review

Since the spawn's universe one shot, the ENTIRE spawn line has been killing it. Buying every book and can't get enough.

Brutality and good art are still valid in the book, if you like the series, this number is good, the quality has not dropped.

So I liked the issue but I am confused by the flashback of AL Simmons death. I'm like 99.99% sure Chapel was the one who killed AL. Was this changed at some point? I stopped collecting for awhile when I was in the military. I also don't like Wynn saying he taught Spawn. Wynn didn't teach AL anything. Al was an elite soldier and Wynn did nothing but give him targets. He wasn't a general either which is confusing me. He would have zero to do with his training so him saying he taught him is confusing as well. Does the writer not know Spawn's origin?
