I've never read a Spawn book before, but after reading Spawn 5 I'm going to read them all!

I enjoyed the level of depth that that the writers used and how they left me hanging at the end because the odd man-who-was-changed-into-a-demon is helped by Spawn.

I really like the level of artistry that the Spawn books have. Many of Marvel's books are black and white and I HATE THAT! We got rid of black and white tv LONG AGO and black and white comics before that, WHY would we go back to black and white comics? Sorry, yes I think you should buy Spawn 5, and I recommend it for it's level of character and story depth and high standard of artistry.

I still read comics, and Spawn was the new big thing, peaking in 1997 with a Hollywood movie. However, I lost most of my comic humor with Spawn out of fear of being labeled racist, with the lead character being of African American ancestry, there were a number of racist currents and still are as the Spawn book continues today. His costume is cool- that's the thing- if Spawn were nota black guy much as is the case with DC's Steel character, it would just scream white supremacist all over it. I am not judging the Spawn comics by his skin color, in fact the exact opposite- I will warn you this contains a number of highly racist themes much like The Sandman. Collects Spawn like issues 21 to 26 or something. :)
