Spawn (Single Issues) #7
Spawn #7
Spawn is suddenly felled by painful flashbacks of his own death. But he shakes off the memories and visits Mob consigliere Antonio Twistelli, telling him that he welcomes a rematch with Overtkill. They meet at midnight, fighting to a standstill before Spawn pulls out his heavy weaponry. Even cybernetics offer no protection from such powerful ordnance, and Overtkill is defeated.

About the author
Todd McFarlane
1,940 books474 followersTodd McFarlane is a Canadian comic book artist, writer, toy manufacturer/designer, and media entrepreneur who is best known as the creator of the epic occult fantasy series Spawn.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, McFarlane became a comic book superstar due to his work on Marvel Comics' Spider-Man franchise. In 1992, he helped form Image Comics, pulling the occult anti-hero character Spawn from his high school portfolio and updating him for the 1990s. Spawn was one of America's most popular heroes in the 1990's and encouraged a trend in creator-owned comic book properties.
In recent years, McFarlane has illustrated comic books less often, focusing on entrepreneurial efforts, such as McFarlane Toys and Todd McFarlane Entertainment, a film and animation studio.
In September, 2006, it was announced that McFarlane will be the Art Director of the newly formed 38 Studios, formerly Green Monster Games, founded by Curt Schilling.
McFarlane used to be co-owner of National Hockey League's Edmonton Oilers but sold his shares to Daryl Katz. He's also a high-profile collector of history-making baseballs.

After kitting up at the armoury, Spawn visits mob boss Antonio "Don Dracula' Twistelli, telling him he wants a rematch with Overtkill and wants to meet him at the docks at midnight. The heavy weaponry does the trick and Overtkill gets more than he bargained for.
Spawn is again plagued by flashbacks, specifically of his own death, he sees the grim reaper but can't get an image of who it was that killed him. We're slowly getting closer to whatever conspiracy Al was unknowingly involved in, the slow reveal of his former life and why he was killed, by whom, etc, is just a tad too slow and I wish I knew a bit more at this stage.
My favourite scene is where Spawn has gone back to the alley and been comforted by the homeless guys who frequent there, they see him as one of their own and he is surprised by their total lack of judgement.

McFarlane remedied the biggest weakness of his series: the writing. For the next four issues after this one were single issue stories by acclaimed comic book writers. Before that, McFarlane ended his first seven issues on a strong note.

Explosive, heh.

It's okay but I feel like thoughtfulness is kind of giving way to puerile spectacle a little too much.

seeing Spawn without his mask on interacting with someone else was surprising. but it didn’t even phase the guy. the art is just so freaking good

Not gonna lie, Spawn #7 is the first book in months that made me put my phone down. Todd McFarlane writes with a steady, quiet confidence that pulls you in without any tricks. The ending is softer than I wanted. Perfect for distracted readers like me, rough for anyone who needs a big finish.

Spawn #7 delivers gritty street action and a decent standalone moment. The art is slick and the tone moody. But the plot feels like filler — it neither deepens Spawn’s character nor advances the central arc.
