    As new reader of Spawn, I do appreciate that there has never been a renumbering of issues. That little detail makes a huge difference!

    Also the idea that they created image comic is by looking at a video that say imagine is everything that is totally awesome.

    I like McFarlane even more after this interview. His "#1" idea he mentioned is great lol. Im so glad he will not be rebooting Spawn. 👍👍

    • @disenfranchisedver1tech598
      @disenfranchisedver1tech598 3 года назад +10

      Todd did it right - He made Al Simmons as 'one' of many Hell Spawns which means there can be several stories about different Hell Spawns. No reboot will ever be needed.

    • @bladerj
      @bladerj 10 месяцев назад +1

      didnt he reboot it a year ago ?

    • @sawboss5794
      @sawboss5794 9 месяцев назад

      ​@@bladerji think they've "remastered" some issues but i don't think it was a reboot. (I could be wrong.)

  • @markmmm667

    Sooo good! It’s amazing how after so many years in the industry the ToddFather still has a clear vision and respect for the comic book characters, industry and the comic community! And how cool was it to have Todd represent The ComicTom101 Channel! Well done sir!

    Todd is always so on point with his mind on the pulse of his fans. He knows what we want and he gives it to us without any marketing bullshit or gimmicks. He talks to and interacts with his community and is just a really likeable person. Ive always looked up to Todd since I was a kid and growing up learning more about him always made me feel like I could never have that don't meet your idols type of situation with him.

    What a great interview Tom. It has to be such a relief to interview someone willing to give details like this that many are unaware of. This open book Todd Father interview is turning in to one of my favorite interviews period. Not just about comics, I mean period. Great stuff Tom.

    I've always respected this guy personally since I was a little kid and grown up with spawn and comics... but as of lately just watching little things to fall asleep to..I've stumbled across interviews like this and other pieces of media with Todd...and hearing the story how he left marvel and especially him sticking to his guns with how HE does things is the most inspiring shit I've ever heard... I love how can come across sorta cranky and old school...but THATS LOVE and PASSION for the business...and to be honest... its EXTREMELY motivating for me because I've been at a place of work for nearly 10 years and I've been scares to step out and start my own business...but with the support and self belief I'm finally starting to see the first steps come to fruition. And man...I cant stop thinking about how he stuck it to marvel and is STILL going strong.........doing it HIS way.
    Fucking #1 todd.

    First commented here, I have to say that it's VERY good to see Todd's excitement talking about the works and part of his career. It's the kind of interview that I didn't want to see ending. It's been almost two years since I started watching the channel, Congratulations on your work guys, hugs from Brazil

  • @Bam123412
    @Bam123412 3 года назад +3

    For some reason I always thought MacFarlane was a bit arrogant. I'd heard various things over the years that led me to think that. These interviews have been absolutely brilliant and a real eye opener.I've not heard as much sense spoken about comics for a long time, especially on pricing and rebooting. I've really changed my opinion about TM having watched these vids and even started buying some Spawn stuff again after 20 years.

  • @williamsantana6594

  • @edghelardini9619
    @edghelardini9619 3 года назад +9

    I love his comment on not renumbering a series. I remember how disappointed I was when DC renumbered for "New 52". At the time I was collecting Detective Comics and had a continuous run from 450-881 and was thinking I would continue to collect until at least issue 1000, then DC screwed it up. That put me off comics for several years.
