Spawn Book Club - Issues 49 | 50 | 51 - Apr. 20th, 2014 - Apr. 26th, 2014

Your long awaited savior is here, right on time! Spawn Book Club!

Monumental issue this week with the big Five-Oh! That's right, we've made it 50 issues in, and I have to say, the art gets better and better. I especially like this next batch, so let me know if you agree with me! Let me know if you disagree as well, I guess, if you have to.

Be wary of spoilers in this thread, and grab the .cbr's while you can! If you've been following along with the Spawn Compendium, this is a reminder that it only goes up to #50, and there is no second volume to the compendium that has 51-onwards (yet)! So now is the time to switch to another means of keeping up!

Let's keep this short and let the issues speak for themselves.

What we're reading this week:

Issue 49 - Helter Skelter

• Spawn and Terry both battle their personal demons. Spawn's suit has completely taken control of him. He hemorrhages and sprouts growth until he is helped by Cog. Terry blacks out and is struck by a semi-. The accident lands him in the hospital. Cy-Gor is in New York city looking for Spawn.

Issue 50 - Choices

• Terry learns that he will die in two months from a malignant brain tumor. Spawn is torn apart by the belief that Terry's a traitor, but he uses all his power to heal him. This sends Spawn hurtling to Hell's second level, where he is immediately attacked by creatures trying to drain his life-sustaining necroplasm. Then suddenly, memories of past injustices provoke Al into a rage and he rises to fight again.

Issue 51 - Freefall

• Spawn freefalls through the levels of Hell where he he undergoes a physical and psychological baptism. Layers of Al Simmons' life are peeled away and his weaknesses are exposed. Finally, Malebolgia rips Al's heart out. Meanwhile, Terry's doctors are still puzzled by his miraculous recovery while Cyan refuses to give up a filthy shoelace she found at the hospital. Elsewhere, Sam shows Twitch their new '55 Chevy car.
