Spawn's dark, demon-derived powers mean that he cannot be killed. Far from a blessing, it is the ultimate curse, condemning him to walk the earth for all eternity in his grotesquely disfigured form. But what if those powers betray him, and abandon him when he needs them most?
Todd 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.
Pretty damn good, simple as, If you like Spawn then it's worth a read.
I really feel that this collection really gives breath to the characters of Sam and Twitch the former cops turned private eyes and unknown to them at first Spawn had unwillingly chosen them to be like his right hand men.
The arc consists of Cogliostro telling Sam and Twitch the story of Spawn and the battle between Heaven and Hell on the middle ground that is Earth.
Sam and Twitch really start to grow on you as strong characters in the Spawn universe.
