Summary: Entertaining
Review: I got the first two Curse of the Spawn collections in one deal and after reading the first volume I was looking up against reading this second volume. The first wasn't to my liking. After reading this second book I found it the better of the two. It reads like a good Sam & Twitch arc. Food for people who're into (paranormal) 'serial killer' stories. Without giving it away:
Gretchen is an attractive young woman and her future looks bright. Than she is hit a a car in full speed and an ambulance comes and takes her away. Two cops ride with her in the back. The intentions of the men in the car aren't what you'd call respectable. She will never arrive in the hospital. Shortly after that day more and more wanted serial killers are being found, butchered themselves. Sam & Twitch are on the case, in which the state of victims is pretty bizar. On top of that there's a guy asking their help in another case as well. His girlfriend disappered without a trace ... Although the 'mystery' becomes clear quickly after you start reading, it doesn't grow boring. Unlike the first collection of this series, the dialogue in here is an important factor. Characters interact fluently without any need for much 'explanatory' text-boxes. It's also nice to see a variant (female) version of a Hellspawn. People who appreciate the art on the main Spawn-title will enjoy the inside work here as well. It's detailed, stylish, atmospheric and carries plenty of gore. I'd advise this book mainly to readers who're into Sam & Twitch.

Summary: Sam & Twitch tangle with Suture for the first time.
Review: If you are a fan of the characters Sam & Twitch from 'SPAWN', than this collection is a must have. It contains issues # 5-8 from the sorely missed 'Curse of the Spawn' series, however; you don't need to have any prior knowledge of the Spawn mythos to fully enjoy this story. First appearance of Suture!

Summary: Not bad, but not incredible either
Review: This is the second collection of the now defunct CURSE OF THE SPAWN comic series. It collects issues #5-8. This is a total departure from the first four issues of the series, "Sacrifice of the Soul." (See my review on Amazon.) This takes place in the regular Spawn world, with Sam and Twitch as the main characters. Spawn is actually not in this story. It is a mystery. Unfortunately, there's not too much of the mystery. There are only a couple of revelations, and they're okay. The story seems confusing at first, but in the end, it all makes sense. There are explanations. The art is good, it's very detailed. Very dark. The angles aren't bad, but not great. During the action scenes, I found myself asking: "What is going on?" It was kind of confusing. This is R-rated Spawn. Along the lines of the animated series that was on HBO. It's hardcore. Pretty disturbing stuff. A decent amount of gore. All in all, it's a decent effort. Not great, not bad. If you found Book 1 to be lackluster, you'll definitely find this to be an improvement. Instead of getting this, I would highly recommend the comic series SAM AND TWITCH, written by Brian Michael Bendis. It is not in trade paperback form yet, as the series started in August 1999, but it will be in the near future. That's much better than this. Keep an eye out for that.
