Is GUNSLINGER SPAWN #30 Good?
In the previous issue, after the Heaven-Hell war, Earth is ensnared in a Dead Zone, rendering anyone drawing power from heaven or hell powerless. Despite his injuries from fights against angels, Gunslinger Spawn, or Javi, as he’s known, finds himself aiding a maid harassed by hoodlums. With his flaming magical horse and a bag of money, he strikes an unlikely companionship with Linda, setting the stage for their journey.
In issue #30, Javi and Linda continue their journey, with Javi seeking vengeance for his family’s murder. Despite Linda’s initial wariness, she aids him, recognizing his wounded state and lack of education. As they traverse, Javi encounters trouble but handles it swiftly in his masked persona and with his fiery horse. Their road trip takes an unexpected turn when they spot a symbol linking to Javi’s past, hinting at what’s to come.
This issue clarifies the continuity within the Spawnverse, ensuring clear distinctions between characters and settings post-war.
