Spawn Book Club - Issues 79 | 80 | 81 - Jun. 29th, 2014 - Jul. 5th, 2014

This is a book club about Spawn. Spawn's book club. The Spawn Book Club, as it were.

First off, sorry I'm a little late here. I'm at the tail end of my vacation and will be returning home later in the week, then it's all clear sailing. I also don't have this weeks .cbr files on me since I stayed a bit longer than I had calculated, and didn't bring the files. But fear not! I'll be leaving last weeks .cbr files up in the meantime, and will leave this weeks files up until the end of the following week so everyone has time to catch up.

Anyway, whoa, what the fuck. These issues are full of twists and turns and all sorts of geometrics. I'll leave you to them.

Beware of spoilers in here, and see above about the .cbr's and why I'm a dink.

What we're reading this week:

Issue 79 - Exterminator

• Detective Silbert interrogates Bobby at police headquarters about his involvement in the recent alley murders. Bobby makes his one phone call to Dr. Sarah Frost and later she and Sam discuss his options. Meanwhile, Spawn “feels” the latest victim’s death and vows to catch the killer of his people. Later, Sam finds Bobby almost dead near Sarah’s clinic. He breaks into the clinic to get help and finds a shrine of sorts from the killer relating to his victims.

Issue 80 - The Cleansing

• With Spawn's help, Sam and Twitch surmise that Dr. Sarah Frost is the serial killer of the alley inhabitants. Spawn confronts her and witnesses her suicide by pesticides, a victim of her own imagined phobia. But when Sam examines Dr. Frost's body, he finds that now familiar symbol branded on her neck. Later, Sam and Twitch receive a cardboard box with a head in it and a cryptic message written on their office wall.

Issue 81 - Devil Inside I

• To everyone in the community, Mark Lucas was a good kid. He was always polite, attended church, did well in school, was quiet and never caused any trouble. But one day he brought a gun to church, shot a few people and later took his own life. Meanwhile, Sam and Twitch try to unravel the mystery of Billy Kincaid's apparent ghostly return and Cog and Spawn do some detective work on their own relating to the strange brands they have seen on the latest victims. Are all the seemingly isolated deaths somehow related?
