About the author
Todd McFarlane
1,868 books443 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.

4.5.
As hard-boiled noir goes this is like a fast ball down the plate. It doesn’t try to surprise you and just tries to get the job done through brutal efficiency.
I wish there was a bit more to this, but it has me interested in the series and to read the original run. Side note: this was rated “Teen”…I think the person responsible for rating this one either got it confused or sucks/hates their job. This is one of the most brutal stories I’ve read, has me thinking my copy is a misprint.
Overall, good pulp story that plays the hits.

As of writing this I think this might be the best Spawn Universe story I’ve ever read. Loved it.

Mostly Twitch, very little Sam. But there's a whole lot of a dirty cops/psycho killer in the corn fields plot that's messy as all get-out, so if that's your bag, grab it.
