ouch, that sounds terrible... but since most of the characters at Image are
just clones of Marvel characters (exspecially at Extreme Studios) what would
be the differance? But may I remind you that Image to amalgramed with the
Valiant Universe in Deathmate (way before DC and Marvel even thought of it).
The thing I do not like about these new Image/Marvel crossovers is that they
didnt even try to explain why these characters are meeting up. I would feel
confortable knowing that these are something like elseworlds and dont really
continue into eachs Universe. Another thing I noticed, which can be a bad or
a good thing, is that only the Image talent are working on the crossovers.
Does that mean that Image is doing all the work and Marvel is getting a
persentage?
The one thing I have noticed with the comic industry is that they are going
crossover crazy. Image with Valiant, Spawn with Batman, Marvel with Malibu,
DC with Marvel, Valiant with Marvel, Image with Marvel, Top Cow with Event,
Shi with everybody, Aliens with Superman, Preditor with Batman,
Ash/Azreal/Batman, Catwoman with Vampirella, Lobo with the Mask, The Mask with
Grifter, X-Men with Star Trek etc. etc. etc. Cant we just sell a book based
on the main character? <sigh>

Yeah, but Sleepwalker couldn't even sell the comic when they HAD crossovers.
lf they made a Sleepwalker/Spawn crossover, nobody would care. It would be
the lowest selling Spawn book ever.

Looks like this item got no where since it was just a Wizard hoax. It will
never happen. Plus, Spawn is just too good for spidy. In sales and power
levels.

Spawn is the only thing I think is worth reading in comics today. Everything
else is too wraapped up in money, gimics, and egotism that it disgusts me.
plus, If I want to get back into spawn, all I ahve to do is buy back issues
going back to 13 or so. Or I can get people to tell me what's going on.
X-Men doesn't work that way, they have to puyt out 20 issues a week and expect
me to buy EVERYTHING

I think Todd was trying to make this book a combonation of Cerebus and Fuast
(the play/novel, not the comic book). It's a poetic love story (with action
through in it to fool the kids to reading it) that will probley last for 300
issues. Yes, the pacing is slow and it seems nothing is happening, but the
>subtleties are offen over looked. Really cool book!

Ok-- I'm going to get flamed, but I was disappointed with Spawn. It took me
a while and a few people to tell me before I realized it's just about a
superhero who turns bad. I mean, I liked _Sandman_ when I checked it out,
but it's a different kind of grim. The author is well-read, and the
characters muse over things more. (Besides, these are not superheroes,
really). And what's to say Spawn isn't somewhat wrapped up in money? It's
in demand, that's for sure-- otherwise, the first four issues wouldn't be
worth so much money.

Yes, Spawn is certantly more comercal... I guess that's the fault of it's
sucess. It's always in the top ten comics which doesn't really leave room for
much creative movement. Todd has to be carefull to keep his reader reading,
where as great books like Swamp Thing (another Vertigo book) was picked up
by Alan Moore the let him have full control since they didn't have anything
to loss since it was a low selling book. Alen Moore did his magic and...well
if you read it you know what I'm saying.

I'd also like to point out the reason why Spawn has "gone evil". Todd
McFarlane was trying to tair away everything about Al Simmons until he was
down to nothing. Only then can he build the character to the point where he
finaly turns to the side of good (which is where I see it happening and Todd
hinted at in the letters). When Al has nothing left to lose except is faith...
which will be his turning point.

Ok. Just let me get one thing straight here. Spawn would simply destroy
Spider Man, and Image comics ARE NOT clones of freakin' Marvel comics.
Atleast Todd McFarlene's Spawn isn't. He illustrated the black spider
man series, which was a hit. But he knew what he was doing when he
created Spawn. Todd MacFarlene's the man!!!!!!

Thank you greatly Frank, although you must admit that all of the Rob
Liefeild's characters are Marvel clones. Yet characters like Spawn, Savage
Dragon, The Maxx, Helshock, (maybe Witchblade) are all original.
Tood said once that Spawn could spin the world on his figure, but it would
take up a lot of his power... I'm sure that web fluid would be no trouble for
him.

I hope it's just a phase that the ol spawnster is going through. He can fight
it can't he? The devil doesn't exist anyways, noone's inherently evil in real
life.

true, but I'd still like to think of Malebolgia as just a big scary alien
who can be overcome, otherwise, why haven't we seen God yet in the series?
