Episode 113: "Dead Man Walking" & "War Spawn" - Spawn #178 & #179

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. What does all of this mean for Spawn and Al Simmons? How is Mammon really involved? How deep does this all go? We'll get into it. This week's recommendations are Dan Carlin's Blueprint for Armageddon and Hardcore History podcast series' for the history buffs among you, Laura Spinney's Proto: How One Ancient Language Went Global for the language nerds among you and Texas is the Reason's excellent album "Do You Know Who You Are?" on it's 30th birthday for the 90s emo and JFK conspiracy nerds among you.

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. We don't get them forever but we are blessed to get them as long as we do.
