Todd McFarlane
1,840 books442 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.

McFarlane got busy drawing Frank Miller's Spawn / Batman crossover, so he left the series to dynamic duo Grant Morrison/Greg Capullo, but Spawn's creator kept inking in his free time stories collected here and drawn opening issue with the funny Violator tale about how he kicked Medieval Spawn's ass.
Sadly Morrison's Jason Wynn turning into angelic Anti-Spawn storyline is absolutely not one of his best ever, but I'm fond of Capullo's artworks since his early days working on Marvel's X-Force, and the Hellspawn team-up with a time-travelling Doctor Strange-style Harry Houdini was a real good one, with funny jokes about 90s commies-are-bad fluff.
Not best comic book series at all, but if you are into 90s cheesy superheroes this is still a must read.

Spawn remains consistently fun if not silly. This one is more broken up than the previous, feeling like separate stories throughout.
We have a couple here. A one shot of Devestator talking about his past. We also have a storyline of spawn. Next up is the Anti-spawn storyline which shows a guy who's basically given the powers of the gods. Meaning holy powers > spawn's devil powers. Last but not least we have a story of Spawn meeting Hudini and learning more about his magical powers.
Good: I really enjoyed the last two issues about Hudini and their training (kind of) and the storyline in that with Terry was fun too. I also dug the first issue as the Devestator is pretty funny. That dumb clown is just disgusting but get a good laugh out of him.
Bad: The Anti-Spawn storyline is okay at best. It's cheesy dialog + bad pacing + predicable superhero fighting.
Overall Spawn remains fun though flawed. That's fine with me, I expected nothing less. On to the next one!

Objektivně je to na tři hvězdy ale já tenhle temnej, gotickej tón devadesátek, špinavejch cihlovejch uliček, ujetejch kostýmů a barviček a konstantní noc prostě miluju. Navíc McFarlenovo kresba se drží bez problémů i dneska.
Spawn je prostě něco, k čemu si jednou za čas odskočím, když se nemůžu rozhodnout co číst a vždycky mě baví.

I'm really surprised where this has gone since volume 1. I really loved that beginning. It was pulpy and violent. This is...not. There are a couple fun scenes and fights. But there is a lot of long-winded, very mediocre storytelling. There is so much build-up to lead to 5 pages of showdown, and then back to homeless dudes getting bullied. I'll stick with this a bit longer but it's trending downward.

So issue 16 was incidentally one of the issues I had when younger. The scene with the demons killing off test soldiers was really disturbing to me at the time. I was 13 or 14 ( I traded a friend for the issue so I probably didn’t get it the same month or possibly even year the issue came out).
The story is growing, aging nicely at this point. Some parts are still a bit corny (the bit with Houdini moves way too fast), but I’m enjoying it. Not sure I’m enjoying it enough to drop 11 or 12 dollars for the remaining volumes though.

again, a solid continuation of the spawn series, with of course amazing art work and a half-decent story.

Eh.
This is better than the previous collections but I still don't feel right giving it a 3 so it's the highest 2 of the bunch because, well, stuff happens!
Todd's only issue in this one is weird and boring but has some of his best Spawn art so far. It felt like it only existed to show two things, why Spawn was worried about revealing himself to his ex, and that The Violator has history fighting spawns. Neither of which were really necessary but I thought the execution of the biased narrative text with the factual panels was cool. The Morrison issues were also alright, they had pretty interesting developments and I thought the representation of earths watchers from heaven residing in a space satellite was very cool and modern. However Anti-Spawn was boring and kinda dumb, it makes sense that heaven would pick people to fight hellspawns but why would they choose someone like a blatantly evil and corrupt politician. Like I get that this is supposed to be our protagonists bad guy but how are we supposed to believe they're a heavenly figure.
The last two issues were about Spawn learning how to control his powers which was a long time coming, Houdini (oh yeah he's some dimension traveling magician which is fun) tells him stuff and he figures shit out. But then there's a terrorist attack and I feel like they skip over a lot to end with him just being able to control magic perfectly at the end.
Like I said the best volume so far but still not that good.

Overall, this one had some fun stuff. Anti-Spawn was cool, although what a supremely uninspired name. I thought the plot with Houdini was strange but I still liked the atomic terrorism plot and the demons. Spawn is definitely a comic of its time, but that's not always a bad thing. Sometimes I wish there was less text on a page, it is a little busy and hard to focus on the pages. The art is still very distinct and unique, but it is so 90s that it hurts (but I still love it???).
May 7, 2020
Still good but it kinda feels aimless. Don't get me wrong seeing medieval/knight Spawn was badass and seeing Spawn team up with Houdini was cool but WHY?
April 29, 2024
Yep art is still great. Story getting a little better.
January 11, 2020
Because this volume has guest writers in it the feel of the tale changes. Not dramatically better but there is suddenly less exposition and you see the character and the comic with a little more independence about it. I liked that.
As ever Neil Gaiman is a great writer and while the anti-spawn is a terrible moniker it is well handled for the quick introduction we get to him.
As ever the art is wonderful in this book with some glorious, sumptuous and detailed spreads. The digital formal shows its weakness now in the presentation of the 2 page spreads. They lose some impact when they are not physically in your hand.
I am enjoying the graphic novels. They are quicker reads and there are different aspects to appreciate. Sometimes, when I am tired after work, they are a pleasant alternative as a wind down method at the end of the day.
I’ll keep going.

Well, this was crazy fun! So, there is a story by the great Grant Morrison, the creation of the Anti-Spawn(well there is no space for imagination on this name)
A being made from a heavenly light that is burning in a eternal suffering until he finish the mission of killing the hellspawn and the character is no other than the "boss" of Al Simmons, i love everything of this character and the story is straight foward 90's vibe!
Then and not least there is a story of magic with no other than Houdini
Who perfected is magic and now can walk through time and space, and teach Spawn to use the power of his suit and then make Spawn his chauffeur...this is crazy good!!
Another awesome collection, love this origin editions.

spawn is spawn. but this volume has a story by Grant Morrison and a lot of issues are drawn by Greg Capullo - means awesomeness infinite.
October 21, 2019
Solid first story by Todd, featuring a badass fight between Medieval Spawn and Violator.
The middle story, by Grant Morrison and drawn by the legendary Greg Capullo, is pretty damn rad as well.
The third story about Russians and nuclear bombs is very mediocre, although the art is still pretty awesome.
All in all, this is a weaker trade than 1 and 2, but it’s still mostly good. The overall Spawn story is progressing nicely, and Al Simmons is finally starting to flesh out and seem real. I’m excited to see where this goes from here.
The art for this title has always been awesome, but here it definitely turns up a notch.

This was definitely one of the campier volumes (e.g. Anti-Spawn, Houdini) but in a good, Evil Dead 2 sort of way. Maybe it’s just nostalgia, but I’m loving reading these early issues.

Real 90's comicbook fare. Some good, some not as good, but *all* fun.
Even if interdimensional time travelling aliens &/or Houdini isn't my kind of thing - Spawn is still an interesting character.

I'm enjoying this so much, from the new covers - which are absolutely gorgeous - to rereading this and discovering everything I'd forgotten as well as enjoying the things I'd remembered once again.
I still think this is finding it's ground - weird that we're three volumes in and there - but McFarlane is also creating a pretty robust universe - and while he's focusing on Spawn, aka Al Simmons and his immediate world for the most part, there's still the fact that he deals with real world issues like racism, the way we treat homeless people, police brutality, and child abuse - all to name a few of the real world politics in issue three. Unlike other series where it feels like this sidelines the main story sometimes, here? Not so much. McFarlane doesn't shy away from these issues, it's true, but he also is not going to let us forget why we're here: Spawn himself.
I'm still four starring this because I feel like the series is testing out things still, like Al's relationship to his own widow's new husband - Terry Fitzgerland, and Al's best friend when they were both alive. And while I only vaguely recall what happens as this goes on, I remember feeling like something gelled when it did. Maybe I'm remembering wrong, but this feels like a microcosm: right now, there doesn't feel like a plan so much as 'hey, fun story.' And there's nothing wrong with that, and it is a fun story, I feel like once Spawn knew where it was going story-wise, it bumped up a bit quality wise.
Looking forward to getting there.

Ah, Spawn.
Bom, eu podia só falar que, do nada, aparece o Harry Houdini.
Do nada.
Com um calhambeque dourado que voa.
Do nada.
Além disso, temos o Radicci Que Ri - Violador - terminando uma história sobre o Spawn Medieval, temos o Anti-Spawn numa história do Grant Morrison e, do nada, o Houdini e uma ameaça atômica em Nova Iorque. Ah, também tem umas bobagens sobre um tal de psicoplasma e uma cidade feita das memórias do Al Simmons.
Enfim eu não entendi direito, especialmente o desfecho do Houdini, tem muita coisa acontecendo ao mesmo tempo que nada parece fazer muita diferença, por exemplo, estamos acompanhando mafiosos russos num stripclub e, na mesma página, vamos para um encontro de ultrarealidades que querem detonar uma bomba atômica no rabo do Spawn para ver o que acontece.
Foda, né?
Bom, lá pelo meio temos o Greg Capullo assumindo a arte que fica bem mais organizada já que ele diminui o exagero orgásmico do Todd MestreFarlanne e acho que é um puta avanço no entendimento da história.
Mas, felizmente, chegou ao fim os Spawns gratuitos da assinatura de quadrinhos e eu não preciso continuar lendo isso.

Wow
Love everything I've read so far. Again sometimes the jumping all over the place and the fact that even Spawn himself doesn't know the whole truth about himself,how he died, his powers. So at times I find myself going wait, what? And sometimes it is answered sometimes it stays unknown but I think that's what a large part of the story is about and us as readers are taking the rode with Spawn. We learn as he does and from other things we see we other characters. But there's nothing that I don't love about Spawn so far. The characters, the art is amazing, the arc of the whole story as we know it so far. The covert nature of the business alot of these characters are in or where they serve. It's been around forever and I never gave it a chance and I'm so stupid for not and waiting as long as I have cause it has become one of my favorite series I've had the pleasure to read.

Consistently better than the previous volume, Spawn Origins Volume 3 starts with the second part of the boring Violator storyline, then blissfully transitions to a storyline about the Anti-Spawn. This takes up the majority of the book and involves an enemy from Spawn's past, some good schlock, and nice payoff as far as Spawn's interactions with the homeless are concerned. The final arc is a two parter that is fun when Spawn is interacting with Harry Houdini, but falls flat because of a stupid storyline and a situation that isn't well defined or makes much sense. This was a fun set of Spawn books but the juxtaposition of three good issues with three meh ones leaves it an ultimately middling affair.
November 6, 2022
The ONLY reason this bunch of books avoids a single star is because Greg Capullo joins the creative team, and starts his amazing run as the penciler. I am very much a Capullo guy. McFarlane deserves plenty of credit for throwing a lot at the page to see what sticks, but looking at his work shows that the stuff he does throw misses fairly often. Capullo brought a level of controlled draftsmanship to Spawn that immensely helps the storytelling overall, and yet he still manages to retain much of the grungy cartoonishness that McFarlane had set as the style. The writing is still gawdawful, and frankly, getting worse, but every single page Capullo draws is worth looking at.
If it wasn't for Capullo's art, I would have dropped the series far sooner.

This finished the short medieval Spawn vs Violator arc which was pretty decent. Followed by Angels realizing Angela wasn't strong enough so they made Al Simmons boss/nemesis into the Anti-Spawn! which was a bit silly, but overall not bad. Decent fights though the ending of the fight was pretty stupid. Then there is a weird issue with Harry Houdini as a transdimensional magician. Reminded me of Dr. Strange. Spawn is his chauffeur including hat and suit in a flying antique Rolls Royce, but later goes after this kid that sets bombs in alleyways. The whole 1 (or 2?) issues was just a bizarre sidequest of sorts that didn't seem to fit anywhere.
February 22, 2023
I’m torn giving this volume 3/5, mainly because the art is just so damn good. McFarlane is always at the top of his game and seeing Capullo cut his teeth which such an iconic character was incredibly enjoyable.
However, I’m a big fan of cohesion in a TPB. I don’t like one-shots or three-issue arcs, nor am I the biggest fan of non-linear storytelling. With that said, Grant Morrison’s were ironically some of my favourite, and I really did like seeing the mythos behind Spawn’s suit and powers grow.
At the end of the day, I was rushing to finish and move on, which is never a good feeling. By no means am I abandoning ship, I’m just eager for things to get back on track.

I thought this volume was pretty average.
Spawn fights with the anti spawn, aka Jason Wynn for a good part of this book, which was alright at best.
Through most of this book, it focused mostly on other characters and built up some minor villains, including the Ukrainian mobsters and a youth bomber.
Though this book was incredibly average, I really enjoyed Houdini’s involvement in this volume, as it was fresh, refreshing, weird (in a good way) and surprising all at the same time. I have also picked up volume four and I am looking forward to more about spawn and Houdini’s friendship.

McFarlane only worked on the first of these issues outside of inking some of Capullo's work. After finishing up the Medieval Spawn / Violator story, McFarlane goes to work on Spawn / Batman while Grant Morrison and Greg Capullo step in for a 3 part Anti-Spawn story and then the letterer writes a two part story with a Houdini who has learned magic and a nuclear bomb. Capullo's art is really good, the stories are just so-so.

I was about to give up reading this series after reading the last volume, but this volume has improved drastically. Spawns Universe is expanding in interesting ways; more of Spawns backstory is being revealed, and Spawn is getting involved with people from Al Simmons life. It's all very interesting, and I want to know more.
Also, this Spawn is a completely different character than the Spawn from the TV show; he is not as hateful of his situation, and he cares for the people around him. I think I like this spawn better.

I was not expecting Harry Houdini to show up as a mentor figure for Spawn. That was a neat storyline, but the others in this volume left a little to be desired. Grant Morrison presents an Anti-Spawn story that's pretty much like any other storyline with an evil version of the hero, and while the one-off about the Violator fighting a Medieval Spawn was kind of cool I think I have yet to be fully sold on the overarching story to feel super invested. I have a lot of mixed feelings on the art, but I have a lot of respect for how crazy it always looks.

Spawn faces off against the Anti-Spawn, tool of angels, who is in actuality Jason Wynn, the government operative who gave the order to kill Al Simmons in exchange for some hell-goo.
All it took was McFarlane to leave the writing and art up to Grant Morrison and Greg Capullo for a few issues and suddenly Spawn is actually comprehensible and interesting. The follow-up writing team of Tom Orzechowski and Andrew Grossberg also elevates the character and helped redeem the time I put into the first two volumes.
