A very gorgeous book to take in but a somewhat lackluster conclusion.

This is a review of the whole mini-series.
Sharp was very clearly inspired by Robert Howard, both in aesthetics and setting. Here, we have the dark ages of post-Roman Britain, with the clash of Briton, Pictish, Saxon, and Roman cultures. There's hints of Kull of Atlantis, Bran Mak Morn, and most obviously of Conan the Cimmerian. Spawn is a great character to explore classic sword & sorcery.
Sadly, this story doesn't quite work. Despite the setting, the characters all speak with a verbose, Shakesperean bent that really bogs down the story with dialogue. It's especially sad because Sharp's artwork is incredible, worthy of Frank Frazetta himself, and fitting for many a heavy metal album covers.
Between the cramped storytelling, long-winded speeches, and the undefined world building, the story never quite delivers either as an old fashioned Sword & Sorcery tale or as a Spawn comic book.
Glad I got physical copies of the comic issues, though. The art is truly wonderful.

Good but
The ending was kind of week. A great series but to me, the ending felt a bit anticlimactic. Idk maybe I am just slow.

really an elevated story (and art style) for a spawn book. tbh this felt more like a conan book with its flowery language and epic panels. good stuff
