In human form Spawn attempts to visit Wanda, but instead, a wise blind woman, Granny, knows that the mysterious visitor is her daughters dead husband. Has he come back as an angel, or curse? Twitch tries to remember who shot him while Wynn reams Banks for botching the hit. If Twitch remembers that the chief was the trigger man, then the cesspool of Wynn's corruption could be exposed. But the walls are closing in. Terry Fitzgerald has contacted NSC investigators and hands over information that could bring down Wynn for good. As Wynn's world crumbles and collapses, an old friend calls in and informs Jason of Terry

Reviews

thecrimsonidol Last review I did of FMA: Brotherhood, I mentioned that adaptations of original source material are a touchy subject. While you want to be fair and objective in a review, you also have your opinion colored if you're familiar with the source material.However, this one is a unique case. While the HBO series isn't a faithful adaptation of the comic books by any stretch, and while it contains the same premise and characters, it would be most fair to label this as a retelling.And it's a rather fantastic retelling, as the animation is dark, stylish and slick, which adds to the series' dark roots.The characters are from the comic books as well. You have Cogliostro, Bobby, Terry, Wanda, Cyan, the Violator, Malebolgia, Sam & Twitch, and the eponymous character, each are deeply realized and brought to life, with the title character being the star of the show because of Keith David's stellar voice acting.The music is rather mood setting too, adding to the effect of certain scenes. One highlight is a scene with Cyan and Spawn. It's little things like this that make the series an excellent re- telling.It's also not a series for children, as it's dark and surprisingly violent. Which is a given, considering the original comic books.Overall, this gets a 9/10. This is a great retelling of the Spawn franchise, though it isn't faithful to the comic books, it manages to shine just as bright.

Aaron1375 I thought the movie could have used some work, this show did some things better than said movie, however, it too could have used some work. Suffice to say, it is almost all talk and no action with some pointless nudity thrown in probably to draw a person in. I love nudity, but not really in the context this show used it in. The story is somewhat similar to that of the movie only there is no real conclusion through the episodes I saw of this show. I saw what was the equivalent of the first two seasons, and quite frankly the first two seasons were all set up with very little payoff. I am just afraid that Todd Macfarlene is just a guy who is to full of himself and who tries way to hard to make this particular comic hero more than what he is, but adding unnecessary depth where a few more awesome fight scenes might liven up the program a bit. I can see from the score here I am in the minority in this thinking, but Spawn is not all that popular in the mainstream because it is at times boring to read and watch. However, he has his fans so I will not say to much about it, this show had some potential and is better than the movie which seemed to take an opposite course of becoming to action oriented and lame.

dee.reid I fondly remember that the 1997 animated series "Spawn" was one of the great forbidden fruits of my childhood 12 years ago. I was 12 in '97, not yet mature enough, according to my parents, to watch a fantasy/horror superhero show about a Hell-spawned demon looking to avenge his own murder at the hands of his former boss. The show was rife with dark subject matter that included Hell, demons and black magic, not to mention graphic violence and explicit sexuality/nudity.All of this might seem like poison to a 12-year-old boy's eyes, ears, and mind. But I couldn't help it. Sometimes I would sneak off into the basement, out of my parents' close supervision, to watch the glorious "Spawn" animated TV show that aired late at night on HBO, around the same time a bunch of soft-core porn shows were also being aired."Spawn" was adapted from the creator-owned Image Comics comic book created by Todd McFarlane. I remember that after Batman, Spider-Man (my favorite superhero) and the X-Men, Spawn was the next major superhero to have a significant impact on my childhood. Spawn, you could say, was the first mature-themed comic book superhero I ever encountered as a pre-teen. It allowed me to grow up pretty fast when I got the chance to watch the animated TV series. I was also pretty hyped to see the 1997 live-action movie in theaters, too, which was more like Spawn-lite - more of a watered-down introduction to the character for the masses, rather than being a straight-forward adaptation of the comics.The animated series is a lot more closer to McFarlane's original vision of the character. It's dark, violent, and more faithful to the comics from which he sprang to life from. The story follows the plight of Al Simmons, a former government assassin/mercenary who is betrayed and murdered by his former boss Jason Wynn. Simmons is sent to Hell, where he makes a deal with the demon Malebolgia to become leader of his demonic army to lead the conquest of Earth, and eventually, Heaven, leading to Armageddon, in exchange to be able to see wife Wanda one more time, who is now happily re-married to his best friend Terry Fitzgerald, and together they now have a young daughter named Cyan. Simmons is thus reborn as the demonic Hellspawn, a creature of almost limit-less supernatural abilities, which he uses to fight the legions of Hellish creatures and nearly every other manner of human scum on Earth including ruthless assassins, mob bosses, and serial killers; and he also forms sympathetic links with the homeless occupants of "Rat City," who he tentatively befriends and whom he also ends up protecting.He is also watched over on Earth by Malebolgia's lieutenant, The Clown, who of course has the ability to transform into the reptilian beast Violator. The forces of good are also in on the conspiracy, specifically the benevolent mentor Cogliostro, who teaches Spawn to use his powers for good instead of evil, and who also teaches him that it is possible to break free of his deal with Malebolgia. There's also some detective-noir in here as well, and light comic relief, in the form of detective pair Sam and Twitch.As I already stated earlier, "Spawn" is not for children; I know this from first-hand experience. In many ways, this is the definitive vision of the Spawn character. It's much more faithful to the tone of the comics; it's dark (there's very little light and when there is light, there is still a foreboding sense of darkness and dread), the music is appropriately grim and moody, and lastly, and most importantly, it also stresses the great dramatic possibilities of the character and the tug-of-war being played against him for possession of his soul. The 1997 movie was all right as an introduction, nothing more, since it had forsaken the darker elements of the story in favor of a larger commercial appeal.Spawn is unquestionably one of my favorite comic book superheroes of all time. The animated series is quite possibly the best animated series of all time based on a comic book superhero character. Spawn is truly a sympathetic character you can latch onto and not hate yourself for doing so: he's a Hell-spawned demon, a product of evil, who has been manipulated by circumstances into serving the forces of good (like other demonic superheroes such as Ghost Rider and Hellboy). It's this sort of great dramatic potential that I look for so much in comic book superheroes these days, ever since Spider-Man taught me that it is possible for comic book superheroes to truly grow up.10/10

lambiepie-2 I agree with what many reviewers said and I wont rehash the story line anymore - many folks have done so already.What I'd like to add is that HBO Cable Networks did a wonderful thing in showing this as a weekly series. I was glued to the television weekly at midnight - not just me but all of my friends as well. I don't care what I was doing, I HAD to watch this. We all loved this animated working of Spawn. The animation was crisp, the storytelling was adult and intelligent, the vocal casting was superb. This is what adult animation and comic book adaptation was about. The first season was better than the second one to me but both were groundbreaking.What I disliked more than anything -- was the feature film of "Spawn". It did not hold a candle to this series and just ruined what was already done. Sad thing, HBO hasn't re-shown repeats of this and they should. And HBO hasn't produced & adapted other comics, which it should be doing along these lines. There are many production lessons here as well as a great adaptation lesson. Todd MacFarlane's creation is the best here. I hope they show it again, release a DVD if so, do not miss this. Be forewarned - adult themes run through this version. The first season is NOT for the kiddies or a PG-13 oriented. It is dark, it is wonderful and it is the world of Spawn as it should be seen and interpreted.
