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.

A very good book. Incredible artwork and a good story, but there are just too many things going on. There also seems to be a lot going on between issues as well.

Spawns work alone? Not this time they forces against them have gathered from all sides, Spawn, She Spawn, Medieval, Gunslinger Spawn and the Redeemer form a team though powerful they might still have issues trust and too many Alphas in one place to name but two. Will the team survive or be torn apart before their first mission is even over.

I am looking forward to the next book in the series along the other contributing books. There are plenty of things going to almost too many. The book finishes with a cover gallery of Scorched issues 1 varient covers.

Scorched starts off fun enough but like all good things gets to complicated for it's own good.

Once we get too deep into the lore of the past, the story falls apart. Characters you DON'T care about make their appearance as a big bad, but honestly come across as lame. And while the first two issues are fun it quickly falls into itself, coming off far to 90's for its own good.

A 2 out of 5.

Remember I mentioned there are various Spawns now, like a girl Spawn and western Spawn and Medieval Spawn. Well, for some reason they are a team now with the horrible name SCORCHED. Even original Spawn doesn't want them, as they fight a Venom ripoff Spawn.

[Quentin Wallace · Rating 3 out of 5]

Slightly disappointing. This is basically a Spawn team up with the most popular Spawns together. But the story just gets too complicated and it feels like a fight to read through. The art isn't bad, and I like the characters, but the book feels like it's spinning its wheels.

I didn't hate it, and I think the book has potential, but right now we've got several Spawn titles, and they all seem like more of the same thing. (So far, Gunslinger Spawn has felt the most unique, but Spawn, King Spawn and The Scorched all seem too similar to warrant multiple titles.) I'll still keep reading as it's interesting stuff, but I do hope the story picks up soon.

The book starts off strong. Starts slowing down. it goes off the rails with plot twists after plot twists and turns by the time the book was over.I really didn't have an idea of what the team's goal was. an idea of multiverse and different versions of spawn are not a bad idea on paper but unlike the spider verse, this just didn't work.Perhaps it gets better, after more volumes, but volume one was just okay. on the bright side, I got it from the library.So it didn't cost me any money on the plus side.I guess it won't hurt me to read more volumes just to see if it gets better

All of the Spawns team up for a comic that feels exactly like King Spawn, just set in Russia. All of these Spawns are in the other books. It's just another side story with a different set of villains. Of course everything is overly complicated because it wouldn't be a McFarlane production if that wasn't the case. McFarlane has pulled in some good talent for these books. Stephen Segovia and Paulo Siquero make this book look damn good.

I really enjoyed the this TPB, it's the first 6 comics of this run. It drops you right into the action. I haven't read a lot from the original Spawn comics, just the first 50, and I feel a little lost with the characters back stories. Hopefully, the holes get filled in as the series continues.
The art is amazing and the coloring is spectacular. If you like Spawn, you'll like The Scorched.

[Wintry Monsters Press · Rating 2 out of 5]

A series, even a spin-off, should be able to stand on its own. I shouldn't have to read several other series to know wtf is happening in the story. This sort of thing really frustrates me. That and the characters have been reduced to a generic superhero team, nothing special or unique about them other than they kill (which isn't even all that unique anymore).

[Ross · Rating 2 out of 5]

Ugh...

Marvel has the Spider-Verse...
Image has all these stupid Hellspawns...
Who wouldn't like a western themed Spawn with a giant cowboy hat?

You have to REALLY like Spawn to power through this series. It feels very 90s.

Not the best but plenty of action throughout. A character is introduced in the 5th issue I'm really excited to see more of so I'll be on the lookout for the next volume.

Oh cool. Spawn Into The Multiverse.

[Realdopecomics · Rating 2 out of 5]

This started off strong then gets way to convoluted and wordy. I don’t mind the dialogue but it’s just like spinning wheels just to set up the next issue in the final page.

[Daniel · Rating 1 out of 5]

Scorched does not appear to be about anything except sick art and the various spawns yelling at each other with no resolution, decisions, or context- like a beautiful painting shoved into a VCR on fast forward. Get a poster of one of the two pages spreads & skip reading it.

[Will · Rating 3 out of 5]

It’s just decent. Nothing mind blowing. Feels like it’s trying to get away with cool art, and characters with cool abilities. Get the group together to see what happens next. I’d continue to read it if it were free.
