About the author

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.

Reviews

One thing that I love about Spawn comics is that you always know what you're going to get: a kick ass comic book. As I've said before, you aren't going to get Watchmen or something that deep, but you are going to get cool art and plenty of action, and yes, there is a story there too.

I'm a big weird western fan, so Gunslinger Spawn is my personal favorite of the Spawn titles. In this one we find out a little bit more about his background, and we get to see more interaction with the Spawn universe, including Al Simmons. The Brett Booth art fits the story great as well.

I'm still not sure about the huge amount of Spawn titles being released lately, but so far it's been pretty good.

Le pongo 3 estrellas por un detalle que no me gusta, ni en este ni el primero: lo explican todo mediante cuadros de texto. Cada cosa que pasa o que piensa el protagonista se explica, sin dejar opción de interpretación al lector. Creo que es innecesario salvo para lectores muy nuevos y a veces resulta cargante.
Por lo demás, el cómic me encanta, tanto en la historia como en el desarrollo del personaje y los secundarios, como en la parte técnica. El dibujo es espectacular y da gusto verlo. Muy currado.

I don't know why but I'm totally in on Gunslinger Spawn. I mean, the costume is ridiculous. THAT HAT! But I can't find fault with the art and there's a have gun, will travel aspect to his character that's fun plus man out of time so seeing him relate to some modern concepts that aren't solved with firearms... The non-team Scorched gets formed here, but Gunslinger only needs them to get home.

I have no idea what's going on in this book. There's some groundwork laid for The Scorched. Javier's history is very slowly getting doled out. Bad guys show up though and don't even get names, just vague references to the Javier's past like there's a whole group of Highlander style immortals running around. McFarlane's idea of storytelling flits around a lot without telling much of import. I do like Brett Booth's art in this quite a bit though although he's still real bad at character design. This book reminds me a lot of his old Backlash days at Wildstorm.

Okay but I need an update on all that money floating around.
