Notes:
(1) Okay, I've got to blitz through these Spawn volumes. I usually like to take my time with comics, appreciate the art and mull over the story.
- But the art on this Angel Medina run sucks, and the less time I spend looking at it the better.
- As for the story, there hasn't been anything significant since issue #100. The series has been spinning its wheels big time.

Notes:
(1) McFarlane must have been really into Canadian music.
- He references Avril Lavigne, Swollen Members and Nelly Furtado.
(2) Tony Twistelli's mentioned, so I guess that lawsuit had yet to be settled.
- The editors here apparently never read "Spawn" before.
(3) The last two issues are surprisingly normal.
- I think it's the absence of (indecipherable) action scenes.

Notes:
(1) Above is Medina's imitation of children's' art, which is ironically far superior than any of his actual grown-up art!
- The book would be infinitely better if Medina drew with the artistic competence of a child!
(2) These first three issues are just issue-long fights.
- Lots of filler: dream sequence, random flashbacks... essentially all my comic book pet peeves.

I concur. That's like a bad doddle someone did in math class.

I'm wasting a lot of time, banging my head against the wall, trying to figure out if something's an arm or a leg or what's even going on. It's like watching a movie where the whole thing was filmed through a fisheye lens.
