SERIES PREMIERE
The EXTRA-LENGTH first issue of RAT CITY has finally arrived. Peter Cairn is an ex-soldier, an amputee, and a Hellspawn in a post-war future. But Peter's not dead like Al. Peter got his Spawn powers from the nanites in his prosthetic legs-nanites that were affected when Al Simmons initiated his necroplasmic detonation in the present. Al had no clue that the effects would ripple across not just space, and but time as well.
Each comic panel is beautiful, the colors are fresh and also, as the reader I was captivated immediately. It shows all the brute and the roughness of what the 2107 world looks like. It gives that sci-fi feeling immediately, especially with all the technology that they use throughout the story. I cannot wait to read the second issue. Read Full Review
RAT CITY #1 serves as a promising start for a new version of Spawn in an alternate time and place. The writing is solid, the art is visually appealing, and the concept of a cybernetic Spawn offers a fresh take on the character. It ties to the main Spawn universe while standing on its own, making it an enjoyable read for both longtime fans and newcomers alike. Read Full Review
This is a definite recommend from me as we get to dive into more of the Spawn universe! Read Full Review
Rat City #1 is a truly bold expansion of the Spawn universe, as it takes the elements you've come to know and love and puts a futuristic spin on them. The rest of the "New U should take hints from this debut; it may be Spawn's world but there's plenty of room for other characters to stand out. Read Full Review
Rat City is a must-read for fans of the Spawn Universe created by McFarlane. It offers a fresh take on the classic character, expanding the universe in exciting new ways. With stellar artwork by Ze Carlos and compelling writing by Erica Schultz, this issue sets the stage for what promises to be an epic series filled with twists and turns. Read Full Review
The end result is Rat City #1 being a new reader friendly comic book with the elements you expect from a Spawn series. Read Full Review
Rat City #1 feels like an interesting opportunity that falls short. It ties itself a bit too much to whatever is going on in Spawn instead of building upon themes and concepts from the original series in new and interesting ways. While there's a lot of potential, it drags along not using the extra-length issue to make its main character interesting and one we want to learn more about. Add in some rather odd dialogue and you have a debut that's serviceable but doesn't hook the reader. Unless you're really into Spawn and the “necroplasmic detonation,” this is one you can generally skip. Read Full Review
While not exactly signaling that Rat City is going to be a must-read, this showed some potential with the concept. Subsequent issues will be key to seeing if there's a long-term future with this title. Read Full Review
The story is interesting, but not that great. Artwork is boring and bland. Not up to the standard of the other Spawn Series.
