About the author
Todd McFarlane
1,875 books446 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.

Book 7.
Returning to New York City, Spawn finds that his symbiotic costume has evolved into a new and more deadly form. He is then forced to take the fight to the agents of Heaven when they kidnap one of his friends, as well as having to fend off the machinations of the unlikely allies Jason Wynn and the Violator.
This is the best Spawn book I've read so far, with the best core narrative carried across the volume. In particular I liked seeing Spawn fighting against the angels, who believe he's an agent of Hell, but his concern for his friend and his treatment of a particular old lady shows his true heroic colours. On top of all this, some of the plotlines which had been stagnating suddenly develop a bit of momentum here too.
Despite all the positive elements, I still felt that this book fell far short of its potential. It's definitely not a good thing that, at book seven, this series only just feels like it's beginning to get up to speed.
Also, it's hilarious the lengths McFarlane goes to in the art to avoid drawing anyone's feet.
