About the author
Todd McFarlane
1,940 books474 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.

Yeah. Nope.
Not even worth a try.
The only good thing here is the artwork and the Clown being sneaky and acting like he's a good guy or something and no one really getting it. That's hilarious.
And sad. Because you would think Spawn has SOME brains to think. But oh well, if I was a character who would go the same fucking boring shit again and again in the same series I'd kill myself. I guess that's why Simmons did just that.
Oh well, nothing to see here, just character after character that we saw a bunch of 1000000 issues of Spawn before being back like with the most cliche way ever --imagine splash page--imagine cool pose-- imagine screaming his/her name in bold colourful text-- what the hell throw a "I'M BACK" too in it.
These 2 Endgame volumes are so frustrating, so full of useless dialogue that has nothing to do with the main story, just filling up pages for no fucking reason.
Why McFarlane started writing again is beyond me. He can't write to save his life. Boring. Boring. Boring. They even brought back the pages where it's just the news saying a bunch of random shit we already know in like fucking essay-like text. FULL. PAGES. They brought that shit back from Issue #1 to issue #196 years after, and thought that shit was COOL. McFarlane came back from the 90s and he brought with him every single cliche shit that was there then.
Never read this. I will always just recommend the first 10 maybe 20 issues of Spawn and then Armageddon just to see what happens, and then just read after Armageddon until issue 180 or something. The rest is GARBAGE, as this volume was.

This new Spawn is more of the same with less whining about Wanda. McFarlane is writing it so it's still crappy storytelling, just with A-List artists this go around. I'm still having difficulties following the herky-jerky story. All of the stuff from the David Hine run seem to have been reset. It makes it very confusing to just forget what happened 12 issues before. This new Spawn is more of a blank slate but it's still this idea of barely doling out any story. It's frustrating to read.

"More plot and character building volume. Must have to kick start the upcoming New Beginning series."
