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.

About what you’d expect.

Weirdly aimless and bad writing from The Toddfather paired with incredibly awesome art from Jason Shawn Alexander.

Pretty bad, but for reasons I can’t comprehend, I still like it because it’s Spawn. I feel like we all get one, and mine’s Spawn 🤷🏻‍♂️

The storyline is rolling along and we get a recap of the Spawn series up to this point. This storyline seemed to more a set up for the big storyline involving issue 300. Good read with good art.

I figured if I wanted to be a informed comic reader, I owed it to myself to actually read some spawn in one form. I was recommended to start here considering two of the issues are history of Spawn types, but it basically covered what I've heard in passing.

I can't say I really enjoyed the story itself, but some of that might be on me jumping into the saga here. It seemed lacking in actual stakes, everyone has a very similar voice, and Spawn is written as some master planner who takes care of everything. I'm hoping what follows actually hooks me, or I'm going to write off Spawn as a series "you had to be there" when I clearly wasn't.

Good art and story but the outcome for a major character should've been more epic.

The buildup before it sounds like Spawn is going to kick heaven and Hell's asses. There's also a recap of Spawn's history for those who haven't read those not so good early issues.

Setting up the pieces for Spawn 300 as well as recapping all that came before. Solid.
