This is great and informative too, I'm so glad I've found this video. 30:25 Spawn's colorist, Dan Kemp, said he jokingly added in Easter eggs of Vanilla Ice in the background of Spawn #61-68. Kemp also added in photos of Todd McFarlane and Bruce Lee throughout these issues too.
When I heard Spawn was changing artists I remember wishing it would be a totally different take, but despite Capullo taking on so many of Todd's mannerisms he grew on me and I think surpassed Todd.
As a native NYer born and raised, I can say that alleys do exist out here. Anyway just stumbled across these videos today and I'm glad I did. Brought back a lot of memories, especially when y'all broke down the X-Force run cause I had a few of those issues being my 1st intro to Capullo.
So I’ve heard they don’t exist on Manhattan outside of Chinatown, but as a Canadian city hick I defer to your experience. Thanks for the info! Also, welcome aboard! So glad you like the show! Thanks for watching. - Taylor
@@inkXscribe lol I hear you, they exist outside of Chinatown in the city (Manhattan). The thing is some might be gated off because they're alleys between residential bldgs. So if you go in the bldg you can get to the alleyway. Not all are gated though. And thanks. I binged 3 of y'all's videos last night. Great discussions!
Thank the RUclips algorith for giving me this video - loved watching this and hearing all your thoughts, as well as your memories from buying his work at the time! 😁
Spawn 26 to about 32 is a high point for me. I was living in Barcelona for years and the one retailer with back issues (gone now) had a huge run of Spawn up to about 100. I dropped off about 40 (too much Tony Daniel). So I went through all those issues individually, from about 35, looking for the issues which did more than the minimum required and had some great stuff in. FWIW, those we 52 with Savage Dragon and 55 with a very gun laden, commando type thing happening. I REALLY want to know what's going to be in the Spawn Vault Edition 3. If it's 26 to 30 something, I'm probably gonna have to do it.
This conversation is so frustrating to me, and revealing. I can't stand Greg Capullo's art, it's too busy, it's too cartoony, it's too black. But then I'm looking at it closer, and listening to your enthusiasm, and it's making sense. I'm loving the exaggeration, I'm loving the busy, I'm loving the black. Really weird how I as an artist would never suggest this art to somebody, but then at the same time, admire it the more I look at it. I can't buy Capollo's art most days, but now I am really tempted to buy everything I can find.
I love his artwork and he is the biggest reading I picked up Spawn again, way back in the day. I follow him pretty much to every book he has penciled. Having said that, I get the fact people don't like his style. Which is fine, I just happen to love his art.
Just proves art is subjective cause I always loved Capullo's art for all the reasons you dislike it. I tend to steer towards art with "character" like Capullo's. Drawing accurate is all good too but it gets boring to me personally.
According to an interview with Kevin Smith, he’s been married twice. We’ll clear all of this up in the next Capullo episodes early next year. Thanks for watching! - Taylor
That Spawn 32 Splash is 107% McFarlane inks. Look at the marks on the lady's face! Also, McFarlane clearly inks the fun stuff. I love McFarlane's inks. Total nonsense and totally unique, certainly before him. If Richard Bennett makes everything look like metal, McFarlane makes everything look like wood.

Thank you! I hope you enjoy what we have coming up this year.

This is what we’re hoping for. Not everyone is going to love/like the art we go over, but we do want to learn from it.
Thanks for watching!

I think a prerequisite to liking capullo is liking mad magazine
I love his artwork and he is the biggest reading I picked up Spawn again, way back in the day. I follow him pretty much to every book he has penciled. Having said that, I get the fact people don't like his style. Which is fine, I just happen to love his art.

1:03:00 Greg Capullo has been married to the SAME woman, Jamie, for decades!!!!
According to an interview with Kevin Smith, he’s been married twice. We’ll clear all of this up in the next Capullo episodes early next year.
Thanks for watching!

That’s such an interesting observation: making everything look like wood. Now I can’t unsee it!
