Does anyone still read this book? I think I got the first 10 issues then stopped. I never hear about it any more. |

Yes it does, and its not that bad either. Although its not in the top of my list, I still enjoy it. I' m not sure though of the opinion that other people have for it on this board! |

I was talking to someone today about this. Spawn gets solicited in Previews every month and I am not sure if it has come out in 6-7 months.
could be wrong
dont ban me

It comes out pretty much montly...and it used to be my favorite. I dont read it anymore. I kind of wish I did. That French Graphic novel looks bad ass. _________________ XBOX Live! Gamertag: Uglyorgan |

I think Spawn is 6 or 7 months behind its solicitations. Always has been.
I was always able to overlook Spawn's deficiencies for its art, but the last 2-3 years have been downhill. Nothing against Angel Medina, but, it's just sort of an ugly comic now. |

Have to quote an old redneck buddy of mine on that one..
Don't know
Don't care
Don't care to know...
I've got the first 10 or so issues. Did I read them? Yes. Did I like them? No. Will I ever buy it again? Not a chance.
Take that back, if Brian K Vaughan starts writing it, or David Mack starts doing the art, I'm in. If there's a crossover which has Spawn stopping by the Hideout, I'm all over it. If Gail Simone is on it, I'm there.... but short of those few things, which will never happen, I wouldn't buy Spawn.
For me, it's now a case of public image and personal politics that keep me away from McFarlane products. Cant see giving the guy any of my money when I dont agree with the way he handles his business.
I have been know to make exceptions to this rule, but only when a creator I honestly care about is working on one of his books. I bought Sam & Twitch and Hellspawn because of Bendis. I buy Casefiles because of Marc and Scott. But that's the only time.

With #74 or so, unheards of things like plot, characterization, and an actual direction entered the book when Todd began letting some one else write it. I actually read it for awhile there, and it was kinda fun. Lost interest eventually, tho'... _________________ --Dewey Bass

Not really Spawn, but Andy Lee is doing a 6 issue stint on SAM & TWITCH written by Andreko.
I'm looking forward to it. |
