Episode 125: "New Beginnings, Part 1 & 2" - Spawn #201 & #202

Omega Spawn is in the rearview (for now) and for once it feels like the Jim Downing era has a meaningful direction. Szymon Kudranski joins the book and contributes mightily to the change in tone and atmosphere. There is more to Jim than meets the eye and the Unholy Trinity that Clown mentioned issues ago is really starting to take shape. It seems that new writer Will Carlton really has an idea of where to take this book. Wait... who the heck is Will Carlton?

This weeks' recommendations are the first two albums by Marcy Playground (they are more than just a one-hit wonder!), the excellent workplace superhero dramedy game, Dispatch (FFO: Telltale/Choose Your Own Adventure games) and indie filmmaker Christopher Nolan's low-budget hit film, The Odyssey.

You can always check out George's music - La Cigarette at coolbutrude.com and Witch Crisis.
