I read issue #183 and I walk away excited about the content, eager for more, and yet somewhat unfulfilled with the overall story. The book continues to move forward at a neck breaking pace... things are flying past us like we are driving 200 MPH down the road. I know the next issue will tie most of the lose ends together and put a pretty bow on it before H2 leaves the book.

Early indications are that Al's little girl could be more of a villain and more of a threat than any of the people he has ever faced. Mammon looked really concerned like he had unleashed something that he could not control. I am of the mind that Mammon will die before the ENDGAME so maybe Morana is the one that kills him? The next issue will unveil a lot of things for us on that front.

Cyan going into the future has to be seeing herself in my mind. It is not Mambo Suzanne as he been suggested by other readers. I did find a little humor in the fact that the old lady was talking about not being able to finish "The Book of the Dead" - sometimes art and life are too closely related. I do question why Cyan is so powerful with regards to magic and everything else. Is it because she inherited something special from Wanda? If so then why isn't Wanda that strong as well?

I found it interesting that Mother of Miracles was mentioned again. Could we be seeing a return of one of the more bizarre characters in Spawn lore? I was very disappointed by the return of Legion. I was not disappointed that Legion returned but rather that Legion was so few. Should we just call Legion something like Small Gathering now? It felt like to me something that was done so there wouldn't be so many Spawn's to draw. Maybe it is a timing thing but I think you could have had all of them return and Morana rip through half of them to get ride of them.

I am saddened to think the next issue is the last for David Hine and Brian Haberlin. You guys have done an amazing job and adding Greg to do layouts has really paid off high dividends in my opinion. You have deliverd the end of the world through Armageddon, you have shown us a history of Al Simmons and Wanda Blake that changed the whole perspective of the book, you have turned this book into a darker version of itself, and you have consistently produced one of my favorite books through your entire run. David and Brian - best of luck, you guys will be missed.
