Episode 129: Brian Holguin Appreciation Month - "Spawn: Godslayer #1 & #2"

Brian Holguin Appreciation Month continues and Spawn:Godslayer continues to rock harder than a wizard painted on the side of van. No, seriously. This book is such a fun amalgam of what makes Spawn great, what makes Brian Holguin great and how riffing on classic stories and archetypes with new characters can be a really enlightening way to revisit and reaxamine those themes. Philip Tan joins the book as the main penciller this time around and we are incredibly impressed with the work here. It's moody, fantastic and really inspired. This really is a masterpiece.  This week's recommendations are: first, the latest from Jane Shoenbrun, Teenage Sex & Death at Camp Miasma, a new horror movie from one of the most interesting modern directors and second, to give an old friend a call, not to make plans or anything like that. Just say hello. Let the people you love know you're thinking about them even if you don't talk all the time.  You can always check out George's music - La Cigarette at coolbutrude.com and Witch Crisis.  If you are looking to engage even more with the Spawnmunity, check out the always wonderful RE: Spawn podcast and TinySpawny's Let's Talk Spawn.  Thanks to Freesound for being a great resource for our intro atmosphere and sound effects.
