About the author
Todd McFarlane
1,864 books444 followersTodd McFarlane is a Canadian comic book artist, writer, toy manufacturer/designer, and media entrepreneur who is best known as the creator of the epic occult fantasy series Spawn.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s, McFarlane became a comic book superstar due to his work on Marvel Comics' Spider-Man franchise. In 1992, he helped form Image Comics, pulling the occult anti-hero character Spawn from his high school portfolio and updating him for the 1990s. Spawn was one of America's most popular heroes in the 1990's and encouraged a trend in creator-owned comic book properties.
In recent years, McFarlane has illustrated comic books less often, focusing on entrepreneurial efforts, such as McFarlane Toys and Todd McFarlane Entertainment, a film and animation studio.
In September, 2006, it was announced that McFarlane will be the Art Director of the newly formed 38 Studios, formerly Green Monster Games, founded by Curt Schilling.
McFarlane used to be co-owner of National Hockey League's Edmonton Oilers but sold his shares to Daryl Katz. He's also a high-profile collector of history-making baseballs.

Somehow the Spawn comic are always something that I enjoy looking at, the art is always very dark, but not enjoy reading much. The story is always lacking something. I will give number 3 a chance and if not I'm dropping this series. not that it's bad, but just prove to me that Spawn comic aren't for me!

Toddy really needs to hire someone to proof read these books as the spelling mistakes and simple grammatical errors are pretty horrendous, *and* a weekly occurrence.

I was a kid in the 90s when Spawn got huge.
Well I never read a single issue until 2021. After watching much of the HBO animated series Spawn I decided I had to get into the book.
King Spawn #1 was the first story I ever read.
Since then I've collected the first 50 issues in the Spawn Compendium trade and issues from 310 to 321 as well as Spawn Universe #1.
Later this month Gunslinger #1 and Scorched #1 will be on my shelf.
I'm still so new to this world, learning all the characters and plot is exciting and the quality even way back in early 90s with Spawn 1 thru 6 is so high. Todd Mcfarlane really has created, drawn and written a beautifully tragic cautionary tale about the importance of guarding our very soul.

Pas moins de 7 co-auteurs sur ce comics!
J’avais hâte de lire la suite de Spawn King, je ne sais vraiment pas pourquoi j’ai autant tardé. Cette série m’a été faite découverte par une personne que j’aime beaucoup qui est décédée.
Ce n’est pas « Spanw Undead » mais il y a quelque chose de très riche, très personnel, sombre et espoir à la fois, dans ce comics.
C’est la panique dans les rues. Tout les personnages sont bien dessinés. L’impression de vitesse et d’urgence est bien traitée.
Beaucoup d’actions mais aussi beaucoup de blabla, où, forcément mon esprit synthétique de lecteur rapide coupe quelques passages… Que j’aurais peut-être adoré lire dans une seconde lecture.
Les dessins (double page etc) sont magnifiques, ça se voit qu’il s’y sont mis à 7 là-dessus!
La seconde partie est intégralement en noir, blanc et rouge. Ce qui est assez rare pour être souligné.
« Que Simmons le veuille ou pas, il y est désormais lié! Le Trône de Dieu a choisi son Roi. Il attend son inévitable retour! Voyez par vous même! Sa structure elle-même nous dit qui s’assoira dessus et sera notre seigneur! Simmons retournera en enfer!
Puis, enfin, il assumera son vrai destin! »
« Nous t’avons prévenu, Simmons. Tu devais faire ton devoir ou tout perdre. Y compris les gens a qui tu tenais. Et cela ne fait que commencer »
C’est une bouffée de sordide, de bastons, et de mythologie notamment Chrétienne.
Une 3ème fois c’est super beau! Ah ! Et ! Oh! C’est déjà fini?!

4.0 Stars. I got into Spawn a few months back & I can most definitely say that I'm glad I did. Spawn, King Spawn & Gunslinger Spawn aren't gonna change your life, but what they are gonna do is entertain you. I'm loving all the Spawn books, good solid stories that get their hooks in you and leave you looking forward to the next installment with great enthusiasm. Plus, not counting the first issue of the two new Spawn books, all three books are priced at $2.99. $2.99 and come with the really nice and heavy Card Stock covers! I think they're some of the funnest books on the shelves. Highly recommend!

Riveting read
A edgy follow up to the first install and it didn’t disappoint. The story flowed well and left me wanting more at the end as it did feel a little short. The artwork was edgy and building of the plot that would probably see spawn caught amongst his own web of demons, can’t wait for 3.
