Damn you, Fitzgerald! SHOOT him! This isn't a negotiation!

"Appearances"
Dedicated To: My - Wanda Kolomyjec
Composed of necro-plasm, this new warrior of the damned comes bound to a body-sheathing, red and black neural parasite.

Having been in "The Service" now for well over two millennia, she understands... Upper management's business plan must be fully understood... particularly in light of Gabrielle's fiasco. Like any successful employee, Rafael knows one's appearance is important at these sessions.

Our goal is to listen. To learn. We guide only those who ask, and even then they mustn't know it's us... for the human soul is salvation for all of us.

Dedicated To: Linda Gebbie: The Champ Vamp.
Dedicated To: Sylvia Moore (1927-1995)
Dedicated To: Jake and Joseph Moore: The Men of Tomorrow
I think today's our ninth anniversary, sir.

I feel you creeping against my flesh. I know how your chains move and I saw how you reacted in Heaven. Is that what's causing my blackouts? Some contra-reaction to paradise?

We all know why I'm here tonight. You have a problem, and that problem is super-natural beings. You may think of them in different terms: Youngbloods, Superfreaks... whatever. Personally, I prefer older labels... Wurdalak. Nosferatu. Vampire.

"Father"
Dedicated To: Michael Murphy
If you get into the habit, you might find yourself hitting someone you love, like I did, and regretting it forever. It's not worth it. You've got a great couple of kids there, and they need a father. It's time you started acting like one. A lot of people have good feelings about you, Joe... It's time the two most important ones felt the same way. End of sermon. Now, I want to leave a little reminder for you...

Angela (1995)

by Beau Smith & Brad Gorby with various

I've taken down over thirty Hellspawn in my time. You're not like any of the others. I want to know why.

It's gotta be the heavy religion factor that seems to radiate from Earth. Mass quantities of those that thump the Bible. Hunting Hellspawn was easier then. You had a mission. No gray area. You found them, you killed them, and that was that.

The night screamed with madness and fury. But even it was dwarfed by the insanity and evil that flowed through the body of CUT THROAT,

CAPTAIN OF THE DAMNED!

"Protector"
Dedicated To: Terry Austin
I've seen the error of my ways. Relied far too heavily on The Lord. He's forsaken me. I understand that now. Even after all I've given of myself, I shall never enter His kingdom. So I cast away my allegiance.

I must be crazy. Didn't like having to lie to Terry about where I was going, but he'd have never let me go alone. The dumb thing is, he'd've been right. The chances of me being able to find the Spawn are pretty remote... But he's got the answers to some very serious questions. Like... who tried to kill my husband?

I'M KING HERE!

Shadowhawk II #1-3 (1993)

by Jim Valentino

The Secret Revealed
Been gone for only six weeks... just long enough for the wounds to heal from my fight with The Dragon... and some punk kid has usurped by turf!

I'm not a super-hero. I stop violent crime. I'm not into common robbery.

There's a guy out there that I might have inspired... killing Black men...

You people have become LAZY! Always turning to me for help. Well I don't have the answers. I can't solve ALL your problems. I've got a few of my own.

It wasn't long ago that Vito forced me to be his guinea pig... The combination of chemicals, microsurgery, who knows what sort of radiation and anti-rejection drugs transformed me.

"The Hunt" Part 4
Dedicated To: Joe Sinnot
It looks like someone burned his face off. God... what's this guy been through?

Jason Wynn has become consumed with this case... He knows Fitzgerald is no traitor, but circumstances made him the logical suspect. Rather than admit his error, Wynn continues to conduct a brutal investigation.

And... if he so much as looks at you cross-eyed, make sure his death looks like an accident. Do you read me?

by Rob Liefeld & Marat Mychaels & Norm Rapmund & Eric Stephenson

It's been three months since the members of Brigade last set foot on their native earth, although as their ship silently arcs toward their base of operations in Malibu, California, it seems more like a lifetime.

Nice shooting, Cabbot, you nailed the little bimbo right between the eyes! Precision like that almost makes me wonder why they even bother sending the rest of us on these little road trips! I mean, in these recession-stricken times, a solo act of your caliber would definitely be more cost-effective, no?

"The Hunt" Part 3
Dedicated To: Don Thompson
Since his reconstruction, Overtkill has been programmed to believe he's now faces Spawn, who nearly destroyed him a few weeks ago.

Yet for all his effort, Terry is only human-- not nearly fast enough to outrun a bio-laser stream.

With uncanny accuracy, the bullet enters Overtkill's body through a small opening in the ear cavity...

I don't want your pity... I just don't want you turning out to be like me or the other guys. We look up to you... the boys and I like like having you around. Makes us feel a bit cocky, if you know what I mean. If you can't pick up the pieces, then you ain't any better that us.

The matter of that little fat Clown, the dismantling of that hired gun Overt-Kill, and the invasion of your office by a costumed vigilante. Calling in The Admonisher to deal with the clown was a brilliant move, sir.

...the costumed invader... he's Terence Fitzgerald, an operative for some ultra-covert agency.

Battlestone... Seahawk... Coldsnap... Atlas... Thermal... Kayo... Stasis...

This new team is much more to my liking. With the proper guidance, this team could be everything Youngblood wasn't... and never will be!

I am Genocide! The mere utterance of my name causes entire civilizations to quake with fear!

Hear me, Taraban dogs! You have dared challenge a member of the Imperial High Council-- an act as foolhardy as it is unforgivable! As council magistrate, I find it impossible to let your blatant disrespect go unpunished. Know now that you have been found guilty of crimes against the crown prince J'nissyde and as a consequence-- --You MUST DIE!

Spawn #6 by Todd McFarlane

"Payback" Part 1
Dedicated To: Stan Lee
OVERT-KILL! In whispered voices, some call him "Overkill." It has to do with his tendency to go beyond the necessary means.

Gino told me that Overt-Kill thinks it's a Youngblood he's after. He had a run-in with them a few years back, and hasn't forgotten how they embarrassed him.

I'm not some drunk hobo that you can steamroll! Or are you afraid of someone who can fight back?!

A CYBORG! I fought them years ago, before I was killed. But they weren't nearly as advanced. Nor as deadly.

WildCATs: Covert Action Teams #1-4 (1992)

by Jim Lee with Brandon Choi & Co.

I... witnessed my own death. The death of Major Adrianna Tereshkova.

Heavy collateral damage... Best guess? Two rogue C.A.T.s duked it out in the middle of D.C.

You were once Lord Emp-- one of the four Lords of Power-- the champion of mankind.

...We may begin the reunification. Soon our Daemonite brothers shall join us in conquering this misbegotten planet.

You're all under arrest! Release the Vice-President! Now!

You are cured, Billy Kinkaid.

Spawn #4 by Todd McFarlane

"Questions," Part 4
Dedicated To: Joe Shuster
Who gave you such powers?! Since when do humans begin to rate? They've always been too fragile for this!

Spawn continues his silence, for what does a man say to an offspring of the pits of Hell?

You have failed miserably! It is incompetents like you that make my battle against GOD so laborious!

Shadowhawk #1-4 (1992) by Jim Valentino

Out of the Shadows
His spinal column snaps like a twig. You are SHADOWHAWK... and you're taking back the night!

God, I love my job! The sweet fragrance of flickering flame! The bloom of the billowing smoke! The screams of the recently domestically displaced! All are like music to the ears of-- ARSON!

I still hunger. I must eat. Please forgive me.

Spawn #3 by Todd McFarlane

"Questions," Part 3
Dedicated To: Jerry "The Joker" Robinson
Finally, I remember her name. Wanda Blake. I remember how her grandma had a fit at the wedding, when she found out Wanda wasn't going to take my last name.

Oh, my. Simmons, you poor pathetic fool! Threaten away, you little maggot. It'll do you no good, 'cause you've been locked into a deal I can't lose.

We always wanted children, but something wasn't right. Doctors said it was no use. But it was me!

The Dragon Archives (1982-1992) by Erik Larsen

Graphic Fantasy (1982) #1-2, Megaton (1983) #1-4
I'm The Dragon. The name may sound familiar... I've been playing the part of a super-guy for the last eight years.

...He called himself The Bronze Man. He killed my wife... With Sue gone... I've had to raise our daughter by myself.

Paul? Paul... what is it honey? What's wrong?

...Thinking about how much things have changed since the days when I was head of the S.O.S.

DAMN! Man, I'm going to be glad when Reagan's term is over with! I can't take too much more of this!

Spawn #2 by Todd McFarlane

"Questions," Part 2
Dedicated To: Steve Ditko
...I'M THE VIOLATOR!

My wife. I've got to find her... Let her know I'm back, I'm alive.

It breaks my heart to report another couple of mafia killings. It looks like our boy the "heart surgeon" is at it again.

Spawning Ground

Hosts Diabolu Frank & Mister Fixit devote the rest of the episode to covering your welcome comments, which given the involvement of both, means an enormous amount of unforeseeable tangents and lengthy exploration of same. The primary theme is comics studios that owed much of their existence to the rise of Image, including the Malibu Ultraverse, Milestone Media, and Axis Comics. The talk also serves as a prelude to upcoming subjects of the show, especially Wildstorm and Extreme Studios.
