Notes:
(1) I'd planned to take a hiatus after Volume 7, but that ended on a cliffhanger, so I'm back for at least one more.
- I don't know why each book can only contain six issues, regardless of two-parters and cliffhangers being split. They broke the rules once for Volume 2, they can do it again.
- Though #50 is double-size, so I guess it's technically seven issues worth.

Notes:
(1) The double-size 50th issue is the clear standout here.
- Not that it's anything spectacular, it's just one of the few times reading this series didn't feel like a complete chore.
(2) The main takeaway from this installment is information about Spawn's costume: how it feeds off evil animals, particularly worms.
- Otherwise, it's a lot of filler and putzing around.

Notes:
(1) Gravano's called "Tony Twist" again, twice over three issues.
- I don't know who's slacking more, McFarlane's editorial team or the real Tony Twist's legal team.
(2) Another bad guy named after a '90s NHL player: Chris Pronger.
- He's a killer and a whale (fat), so his nickname's "Orca"... presumably because the real Chris Pronger played for the Hartford Whalers.

I watched Pronger play as a member of the St. Louis Blues many times.

I think it was around '95/'96 that Pronger was traded to St. Louis for Brendan Shanahan. So, around the time these issues were written he might have still been playing for the Whalers.
