9 Best Spawn Comics That You Should Reading Update 04/2024

Best Spawn Comics

One of the best comics ever made is Spawn by Todd McFarlane, and thanks to the hard work of McFarlane and the people who worked with him, the series recently hit its 300th issue. That’s a big deal for a creator. Only a few people have been able to get that high on their own shows. Over the years, Spawn comics have seen the main character fight everyone in Heaven, Hell, and everything else in between. It’s hard to figure out which story arc is the best. A big reason for this is that the story keeps going from the very first issue onward. Each new issue builds on the stories that came before. Because some things are more interesting than others, this list was made. This is why it’s here.

He’s been around for a long time and so there are a lot of great stories and comic books about him. It’s hard to figure out which is the best of Spawn’s adventures because there are so many of them. This list tries to do the impossible by narrowing down the best to just the top ten.

Vote for your favorite story in the list below. Then, come back to see which of these comics is the best story about Spawn ever told!

1. Beginnings

Beginnings

Story Found In: Spawn #01-05

On a list of Spawn’s best stories, you can’t leave out the one that started it all! When Al Simmons comes back to life as a superpowered Hellspawn in “Beginnings,” he pays a high price for his power. He didn’t know how much it would cost until it was too late.

Five years into the future, he has been shot. He’s also been terribly disfigured. He no longer looks like the man who was alive at the time. When he comes home, how will his family react? And what will he do with his new skills? A great story is told in the first five issues of the book series. “Beginnings” is made up of the first two stories in the series, “Questions” and “Justice.”

2. Armageddon

Story Found In: Spawn #150-164

Spawn comics have had a lot of important stories, but “Armageddon” is probably the most important one so far. In the beginning of the story, Spawn comes back to life thanks to his connection to the Greenworld. Also, his suit changes to become more like him, making him even more powerful.

The story turns into the most important fight in Spawn’s afterlife, and it’s very exciting! Not only does he fight the forces of Hell, but he also fights the Almighty, the Divine Host of Heaven! Is this it? There will be a war to end all wars, and Spawn is at the end of every spear.

3. Bloodfeud

Bloodfeud

Story Found In: Spawn: Bloodfeud #1-4

The writing for most Spawn books is done by McFartlane himself. Alan Moore did the writing for the four-issue miniseries, Spawn: Bloodfeud. In this miniseries, Moore tries to figure out what makes Spawn, Spawn, in the first place.

They get closer in this amazing story that has cops, vampires, and a whole lot more. His suit, K7-Leetha, and Simmons get even closer.

4. Pathway to Judgement

Story Found In: Spawn #26-30

Spawn takes a trip to Heaven in “the DARK” in “Pathway to Judgement.” He can learn that his fate is not set in stone, and he might be able to change it. They are one-off stories that make up a bigger whole story.

Each issue of “Pathway to Judgment” talks about a different part of Spawn’s growth as he learns how to use his powers and also learns that he is more in control of his powers than he thought. There are stories about the Dark, the Cursed, the Protector, the Father, and the Clan that are talked about.

5. Resurrection

Resurrection

Story Found In: Spawn #251-255

If you read Spawn #185, Al Simmons left the world. But he’ll be back in Spawn Resurrection #1 and issues 251 through 255, so read on! The story starts with God (in the form of a dog) telling Al that Wanda has died and is now stuck in Hell. Al’s former husband is the only one who can help her.

When Al wants to save his wife, he has to fight against Satan himself. Things get very heated during their fight. Everything we know about God, Satan, Heaven, and Hell is put to the test in this amazing storyline. As Spawn heads into issue #300, there will be even more to come, so stay tuned!

6. Spawn #32

Greg Capullo and Todd McFarlane worked together to make the covers. McFarlane’s usual images are very busy, but Capullo and McFarlane used a lot of negative space. For issue #32, the cover shows a typical superhero picture of Spawn jumping. However, his tattered cape makes for an interesting frame.

Because the cape has holes in it, sunlight can get through and give the picture a lot of depth. For both the character and Spawn, the simple background of a sunrise has two meanings.

7. Spawn #52

Spawn #52

His work for Marvel even made him known as an artist who liked to fill in the space around his work. Issue #52 of Spawn is a great example of how McFarlane draws. It has very little empty space and instead fills the frame with flame and green light.

The cover of issue #52 is one of the most well-known pieces of Image Comics history. The book features two of the superheroes from the same imprint, Spawn and Savage Dragon, and their team-up was a big deal. It looks like the two characters are jumping off the page because their features are drawn to be bigger than they are.

8. Spawn #88

In the same way that superheroes like Batman have starred in Halloween-themed stories in the past, the hellspawn himself had to make a mark on the holiday as well. No. 88 is a Halloween issue, and it makes Spawn look scary. He hides in the shadows of an old tree, and there are black cats and pumpkins all around him, which makes him look like a scary ghost.

The cover is the best because it has a flowing, almost ghostly look to it, which makes it work best. When you look at Spawn, you can see how his clothes move with the wind, and he blends in with the night. His glowing green eyes are the only thing that makes him stand out from the rest of the picture. They look like the eerie glow of the black cat’s eyes that are at the bottom of the frame.

9. Spawn #56

Spawn #56

At its core, Spawn is a horror show with a lot of action thrown on top. As scary as it is to think about Spawn and his troubled soul, but the villains he would often defeat were some of the scariest comic book villains ever! Issue #56 has an image that gets more scary the more the reader looks at it.

They start to notice that someone is slumped down in this picture. The figure’s teethy smile and crossed-out eyes start to stand out to the reader, too. The setting is clear when the reader sees that the figure is chained up in a prison cell that is lit by moonlight through a window. Because this was such a weird show, Spawn looks down at the same scene that the reader is seeing. His eyes shine brightly through the observation slat.
