Get it while it's lukewarm! Spawn Book Club!

I'm behind, you're behind, whatever. Still damned fun to read. Hopefully we'll see some new folks in here to give us a rundown on what they thought of these issues in the next little while. Just a reminder that you can pop into these threads at any point when you're done the reading. With the search-by-flair options, and everyone's different reading pace, your post certainly won't be overlooked! Not in this small community especially.

Not going to comment too much on the current issues, because I'm behind, but I'm sure they're keeping the pace!

Be sure to finish your reading before you pop in here as there will be spoilers, and grab the .cbr's while you can if you need them.

So, what've we got this week?

What we're reading this week:

Issue 52 - Messiah

• Cyan's shoelace is the only physical clue to Terry's mysterious recovery from cancer. Terry's nightmares mirror Al's experiences. Spawn enters Hell's fifth level where he is revered as a returning savior. He is forced into a confrontation with the Savage Dragon and defeats the dragon for the position of the Messiah. The dwellers of Hell turn on both of them and stone them to death - or do they?

Issue 53 - The Reckoning

• Al Simmons is returned to his demonic birthplace where he is tormented by a demon in the likeness of Wanda. When he realizes that Malebolgia has tricked him, he destroys the demon and passes another of the Malebolgia's tests. Malebolgia then agrees to leave Wanda alone in exchange for Al's loyalty and servitude. Spawn then enters Terry's dreams where he suddenly awakens knowing that Al is "alive."

Issue 54 - Reconciliation

• To confirm his dreams of Al, Terry searches the alleys for his dead friend. When Cog intercepts and questions Terry about his motives, he ends up mediating their encounter and saving Terry from Al's jealous rage. After Terry shows Al proof of the case he has against Wynn, Spawn helps Terry on a dangerous mission. Meanwhile, Sam & Twitch wait for the "informant" regarding information regarding information about the Chief Banks - Senator Jennings conspiracy.
