Summary: ex-fan
Review: as some one else already mentioned Spawn ... I would just like to renforce this statment. i read spawn(unfortunately)up to issue 50 when the plot line involved cybernatic gorrila with the brain of a betrayed special agent. need I say more? Todd Mcfarlen's only motove is profit. He has even admitted this in interviews. In his own words "i want Spawn to be a house hold name" Wizard special. He stopped drawing to merely focus on making Spawn products. Toy line is horrorific. how many spawn figures do you need? gotta collect them all. go and spend your money some where else. Neal Gaiman's Sandman, Akira, Ghost in the Shell, and Cerebus all of these are landmarks in comic literature. Oh and as long were topic of reading pickup some other reading materail such as Fight Club, Ender's Game, and the Godfather(yes there is a book and its good. really good)

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Spawn is the best
Review: I grew up reading comic books and have always had a fondness
for them. Spawn is stylish and cool. I love it's darness and
the moral ambiguity; the anguish and emotion that is portrayed.
Of course the fact that Spawn kicks tail helps. To comment
on someone else's review where they protested about TM
commercializing Spawn and making a ton of money - who cares??
If I came up with something this good I would expect to be
well compensated as well. If it wasn't any good people wouldn't
be willing to pay for it now would they??

Enjoy!! Spawn is good stuff

Summary: Spawn Review
Review: I thought that the book entitled "Spawn" was a very good book. It combined all the necessaary tools you need to make it a good book. It combined action, suspense, and drama all into one. Overall, of course, it had some funny moments and some sick parts that I didn't care for. But never the less I still enjoyed the book iemensely. The author is Rob MacGregor and hie has wrote other books before that are this good. In the book Spawn though, he tells about a man that was sent to hell and back again to kill one that will try to kill off the world. But if he kills him then the how world wil seise to exsist.

Overall, of course, it had some funny moments and some sick parts that I didn't care for. But never the less, I still enjoyed the book immensely. The author is Rob MacGregor and he has written other books before that are good, also. In the book Spawn, the author tells about how he was sent to hell and returned again to earth to destroy Jason Wynn who is trying to kill off the world. But if Spawn doesn't kill Jason then the world will cease to exist.

Summary: It was downhill from issue 1
Review: If you're going to read any Spawn, read this and nothing else. The very very beginning shows promise -- if the art is cleaned up a little and the coloring made less garish, then this could have become interesting. Needless to say it didn't. It breaks my heart to see people talking such great thing about Spawn like it's great literature. Go read A CONTRACT WITH GOD, WATCHMEN, BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT RETURNS, MAUS, DAVID BORING, JIMMY CORRIGAN THE SMARTEST KID ON EARTH, and most importantly UNDERSTANDING COMICS. Then get your money away from Todd McFarlane's new clothes and read some real comics literature.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Why is it that everyone who hates Spawn can't spell?
Review: It seems to me that people who talk about reading GOOD literature should be able to spell fairly well, right? Not the case.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Finally, an interesting superhero.
Review: Out of all the mainstream comics on the market today - superman, spiderman, batman, etc. - Spawn is certainly the best. The main thing contributing to this is the realism of Spawn, that he has a very dark human nature and he shows you that it's okay not to be perfect. The art also compliments the story. Detailed, Gothic, and with a dark style all it's own, each page is vibrantly alive.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: SPAWN RULES !
Review: spawn rules and thats that. Im one of his biggest fans. And Todd Mcfarlane is brillant. He has a great figure company. Bottom line buy this book and every other book you find because he rocks!

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: the demon murdering fiery assasin from hell. cool
Review: this is a very worth buying comic book. it has an exciting plot that includes emotion drama and lotsof brain pounding action plus you find out a little more why al simmons/ spawn
was assasinated and sent to hell. this book also has a very intresting twist with the famous magician harri houdini . and even if you arent familiar with the concept and story of spawn this comic is a pretty good place to start. i would recommend this spawn to any new or old fan.

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: Hell born hero makes his way to his first biograhphy
Review: Todd Mcfarlane created spawn after workin on marvel comics. He also gave them one of there best villians "Venom" from spider man. after leaving Marvel he gathered with some friends to create Image comics. Spawn quickly became known to the world after some help from money spending comic book junkies. This is a trade paper back or ghrapic novel if you will, the first one made containing spawn comic books. The story writing is great, the drawing is outstanding. It was all done by todd mcfarlane ( there was no help involved.

The book contains five issues of exelance:

first issue : "beginings"
sencond issue:"questions part 3"
third issue : "questions part 3"
fourth issue : "questions part 4"
fith issue : " justice "
The first four issues are the concepts of spawn getting to know himself and you. The fith issue is where he takes a uniuqe mission : to find billy kincaid. Billy Kincade is a child killer who broke from prision and rides around in an ice cream truck.Now who would think of all this.
