This was far from great, but judging from other reviews I think I liked it better than most readers.
This is from the mid-90s "Image era" when comics were really at a low point. Image lead to art being more important than writing, but when the art isn't that good either that just makes it all bad.
This starts off with an interesting premise. Chapel commits suicide in order to end up in Hell and become a Spawn. He overachieves and ends up ruling Hell and then decides to conquer the Earth and then the entire universe. turning pretty much everything into Hell. At least, that's what the future holds if the Extreme heroes aren't able to stop him. Then we have Crypt acting as Chapel's agent and cutting a path through the heroes. Then there's this almost biblical type savior that's the key to stopping Chapel. Just from reading the review, you can see how the story sort of devolves. The characters are derivative in many cases, but some of the characters aren't bad.
The art ran hot and cold, but a lot of it was the bad anatomy style Image became known for, whether always deserved or not.
This did have its flaws, but I still thought it was okay.
