Curse of Spawn #20-21 take place before the original series (being the original Hellspawn)
Curse of Spawn #9-11 (Angela's story) takes place in between Spawn #62-63 (when Al get's his face back)
Curse of Spawn #1-4 take place in the future
So where do the other issues take place because I read about Al's brother showing up in a later Curse of Spawn issue and I'd like to not be spoiled or jump ahead of anything.
It was already a bitch for me to jump back from Spawn issue #100 and backtrack on all the chapel and youngblood shit.
Where does Curse of Spawn fit into the Original series cont?

Re: Where does Curse of Spawn fit into the Original series cont?
Curse of the Spawn #23 and #24 would probably take place in between the first two appearances of Overtkill (after Spawn #7 but before Spawn #21), as it shows the reconstruction of Overtkill. Curse of the Spawn #5-10 would be somewhere close to but before Spawn #65, as the first Suture storyline occurs before Sam and Twitch are really aware of Spawn and his backstory. Curse of the Spawn #12-14 would take place after Spawn #61, as the stories are about Jessica Priest, who wasn't introduced prior. Curse #22-28 would fit the best before the start of the first Sam and Twitch comic series.
The rest of the issues could really go anywhere, as they look at stories in different dimensions and in the far future/past. Most are detatched from the main narrative.

Re: Where does Curse of Spawn fit into the Original series cont?
This is a complete reading order I've put together over the course of the last year. It has taken a long time because I had to read every single issue of Spawn and all the related titles. I did my very very best putting only the most story essential titles in. This is NOT a chronological order of the series. This is an order that presents the characters, themes, and story in the most coherent fashion. Many of the issues that chronologically come first would spoil some of the biggest secrets in the series, plus for new readers many of the terminology and themes would not make sense without the proper introduction through the main series. I've also added notes to clarify to those familiar to these titles on why I placed them the way I did.
I have read ALL THESE ISSUES and have concluded this list is the most complete order on the internet as of now. I looked for other reading orders and couldn't find any coherent ones. Many of them Had several issues out of order or introduced things I hadn't read about in the main book so I didn't understand the reference. It frustrates me when I read something out of order and spoil all of the previous surprises that would've been fun to read. So here I give you, Anonymous, my reading order for one of the greatest super heroes of all time, SPAWN!
