Todd & Joe Have Issues 05/04/17: Sam & Twitch #14
Sam Burke and Maximilian “Twitch” Williams were two beat cops that got deep into the investigation surrounding Spawn in the Todd McFarlane Image series of the same name. They became such beloved character they were included in the marketing, appearing in the movie, HBO cartoon, video games, even getting their own action figures:

Many would call this book a precursor to books like Gotham Central, but to many, myself included, their first exposure to Brian Michael Bendis. Now, what is this issue about? Sadly, not having read it in 17 years, I don’t remember, but I trust Todd’s judgement on this one!
Any discussion, thoughts, feelings, criticisms of this week’s selection can be placed below in the comments section. As well as suggestions about future choices for one shot issues to add to our list.
Seemed like a good jumping on point. Got a feel for the characters & a vibe for the history without feeling like you have to read a gazillion other books to know what’s going on. That can be rare these days.
