Welcome to George's niche interests explored episode! We're getting into vampiric lore and World War I history as David Hine, Brian Haberlin and company push the mystery at the center of this run forward while backfilling some interesting details along the way.

Episode 112: "The Monster in the Bubble" - Spawn #176 & #177

How is a manga contest tied to a series of murders spread across the United States? How is the number one suspect a boy who can't leave the safety of his hermetically sealed room? What lasting effects did the four horsemen of "Armageddon" have on the world despite Al Simmons remaking it? Well, it all goes back to Mammon! But that just means George and Pierce will have to dig into what that means for Spawn and Nyx. This week's recommendation is to get into the greatest rock band of all-time, The Ramones. 'Nuff said.

Episode 110: "The Tale of Three Brothers, Part 3 & 4" - Spawn #172 & #173

We wrap up this Simmons family reunion and it has some dire consequences for at least one characters. Mammon continues to exert his influence as David Hine and Brian Haberlin look to backfill some of Al's story to help build to an eventual payoff. Overall, it kind of works but we'll get into it of course. This week's recommendations are to check ot the latest season of The Boys and on a more somber note, to hug your pets a little tighter this week.

Episode 109: "The Tale of Three Brothers, Part 1 & 2" - Spawn #170 & #171

We knew Al Simmons had one brother but David Hine imagines a world where, get this, Al had two brothers. More of Al's history is revealed! But is this a result of how Al rebuilt the world? Is this another one of Mammon's manipulations? We've been told that Mammon has been pulling the strings for quite some time and here Hine and Brian Haberlin begin to scratch the surface of that mystery. This week's recommendations are the documentary Trekkies (available on YouTube), [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tsILzNjvYn0] a loving portrait at fandom and fan culture in a time before smartphones and social media, as well as Colorado-based emo band, A Place for Owls.
