When he does finally fight the Lizard in issue two, we get to see the dynamic Spidey moves that made McFarlane so famous with the character. It is also a hugely destructive fight, with pieces of the room spraying around them in chaos. It never really fermented,” he said. “But I wanted to focus on Spawn and make him the best I could…I set a goal saying I wanted to do 50 issues before I even did my first miniseries.
