    What a great way to kick off this 6 issue series. The retelling of of Lucifer's forces rising up and being cast out of Heaven was a pleasant surprise. Marc Andreyko puts us in the place of Baziel. The character feels so relatable and as the journey unfolds, the reader feels every doubt, every question, and every moment of confusion. The detailed and extravagant artwork by Piotr Kowalski and Brad Simpson immerse us in the world of Heaven. It is a fantasy world full of angels and grandiose battles and the reader feels every panel of it. I didn't think I would be as up on this issue as I believed, but it's going on the pull list!

    Violator: Origin #1 is an awesome start for one of the most iconic villains in the Spawn universe. It's diabolical, clever and sets the tone Spawn fans will love. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to the series, Violator: Origin #1 offers a solid backstory and a glimpse of the dark and wicked nature of Violator. Read Full Review

    Firstly the good and there really is a whole lot of good. The story of Lucifer and the Creator is an absolute masterpiece of thought and vision. It tells a wonderful story if the birth of Heaven and Hell and explains superbly the way it was conceived. Now unfortunately the bad and that is mostly down to poor in places dialogue and art that almost gets there but holds back at the wrong time. I enjoyed the art enormously but I wish it had pushed the boundaries a bit further. All in all I fabulous start to a mini series and I hope it goes all the way to where it could go.........JM

    A great story about one of Spawn's main enemies. His origin story is shown here, and it is very unusual, in my opinion.
