I've been obsessed with Spawn ever since I was introduced to the 90's movie when I was 7 (see, even a crappy movie adaptation can end up making a fan).
What for? At best there just needs to be graphic novel style Spawn comic with "definitive" (at the point of publication) origin and canon and with clear ending, but average comics series Must continue until Todd just gets tired of them ofc. This isn't Invincible which somewhere in the very beginning Kirkman decided to have definitive arc and epic ending (and even then he couldn't make it in 100 issues as he originally planned). But Spawn is really a gem of OG Image Comics with its sсhizoid all over the place-ness, but more pro status-quo unlike Savage Dragon which also very sсhizo and all over the place but where characters honestly age in real time. I respect Todd for not doing several Spawn #1s till this day at least. "Even" Savage Dragon had jumps, making it EVEN harder to do quick rundown speed reading compared to Spawn. Spawn, Savage Dragon, Invincible. Holy trinity of superhero Image Comics valuable for different reasons.
@@FirstnameLastname-my7bz This story has gotten so convoluted, man. I know people may hate this, but I think a clean start with Al Simmons becoming spawn and just go from there.
@@Kirlian222 Story was convoluted from day one (or ten, anyways when Todd started to call up other writers to come and write Spawn issues even before they hit 10th mark) , Also starting numbers from scratch is *bad* idea, and next 00 issue will be 400 so still pretty long time before that. Also Todd, unfortunately (funny how creators owning their characters idea was quickly abused by hасks like Gaiman who then sold character to a corporate entity), doesn't own 100%, at any point Alan Moore or Dave Sim or any other can come and say "hey, this is my character, you can't have it" so Todd has to start with Spawn , Wynn and Wanda, Malbolgia and Clown, and then develop everything else from scratch so that he won't have to do things he does now anyways which is retconning entire mythology. And in any case it was always more of a fever dream, even character of Spawn himself is just major deconstruction of Superman archetype. Like in Action Comics 1 Superman beats all the thugs and rescues Lois Lane who then is scared of this powerful man, same thing in Spawn 1 except then Spawn gets PTSD immediately and ends up being comforted by woman that just seconds ago was as scared of him as she was of thughs with knives and bad intentions that Spawn kicked . And how Spawn is getting constantly revised and retconned is also really in-line with how Action Comics 1 origin is different from Superman 1 origin where creators added Kents and actually named planet Krypton and little bit explained how it works with its people race of supermen being powerful even back on Krypton (yes, similar to Viltrumites from Invincible) and then in More Fun Comics 101 Don Cameron made it that Kryptonians were actually powerless on Krypton and only powerful on Earth. And in any case reboot in Spawn world in particular is pointless. There afterlife not only exists but people regurarly coming out of it and end up even more powerful, it isn't like in "normal" comics where death even just for a while is treated like a finite point.
@@FirstnameLastname-my7bz Paragraphs would be nice. It's really hard to follow an argument. I mean that's cool that you think it's fine. Your argument kind of serves my point, man.
I just binged all 3 seasons of Spawn on Max. This show was definitely before its time. Too bad for the lawsuit because Neil is the only one who can bring this back to life.
I binged the 90s series and wanted to see what happened next in the story, it’s nice to see the cartoon is at least faithful to the comic. Such a shame it was cancelled, the story was finally getting some momentum.
Farkham you have really made my month. My grandpa passed away recently and it's been rough for my family. I also am gonna graduate from highschool in less than a month and it's been a little stressful but with this video I feel blessed and complete so thanks man I really love all the content you do my man you're awesome.
I think my love for this comic went downhill the moment they retrofitted him commiting domestic violence on wanda so she lost her first baby. Its hard to feel sympathy for his loneliness when he's this bad. I was a lonely kid so I got attracted to that aspect when I discovered this all those years ago when I was a teen.
I think it adds to him being chosen by hell. A man who was an evil man gone to hell and given a second chance. All the regret. It’s a true redemption. It says even the ones who do the worst can become good. Not just the little mistakes, but the evil too.
Seems like it esp after issue 200. Sounds like that would have been a great time to end Al's existence. Which they did with the new angel/spawn but bringing Al back...yeah nah went confusing and started going in circles at that point
I have few questions. Mammon was one of the most brutal Spawn villains. He basically controlled his entire family tree for a century. Morana was planned to be perfect host for Spawns costume. Cogliostro was king of hell and he wanted to destroy heaven. WHAT HAPPENED? Mammon, Morana, Cog as King of hell al was forgotten. Satan and God came back like nothing happened. Spawns mother was alcoholic instead of cultist wo was manipulated by Mammon. Spawns two brotheres are never mentioned. Is this because of some legal issues like with Angela?
I am excited to see someone actually did a full story of Spawn, and added myself to the mailing list now. After this, i need to find a full story of HellBoy, Sin City, and Witchblade.
There are big summaries you put every now and then from one saga to another or 5 part stories. Besides you add some real extra information throughout issues that are not particularly explained in any of the issues you are explaining chronologically (only been revealed several dozens of issues after) - overall, though is a generous introduction for any newcomer with the franchise, I would say. I am half way, on the road to 300 so I purposely decided not to watch the entire video yet. Still this is the most informative narrative over the internet I have ever seen about the Spawn comic origins. Well done. I had thought about doing one like this. If I could just have the time for it.. NOTE Update: I finally reached my milestone and wow...I finally realized what has happened with the fan base over the years. Now it is crystal clear, as much as I dig the whole series. I think it is becoming more epic, year after year.
Haa. 4:38 I remember in 7th grade I drew these 2 panels together on to one long piece of paper and then managed to sell a few copies of it for 75¢ each. I miss when things were simpler, I also don't know if I can even draw like that anymore. It's been over 20 years since I've tried to actually draw something. 😅👍
It's unfortunate that such a comprehensive video on spawn was done by somebody who sounds like a 14-year-old boy who just discovered cursing for the first time
you know when you *only* uppercut somebody into space you already know you're trying to be like spawn LoL Edit: thank you so much I appreciate what you just did for us I hope your series and stuff becomes successful And get you what you need and want you're doing a tough job here and we appreciate it
It's like all the writers had ADHD. Every new issue is some new character and some new setting. It's all so unfocused. Just "this happens, and then this happens, and then THIS happens...!" ad infinitum. A bit exhausting.
At 28:20 Spawn is like "wtf I don't need yall forgiveness im still gone fuc up all yall heaven and hell." They try to gain Al's forgiveness because they knew they fuc'd up. 🙏🏽😂
Hmm. Did *Spawn* comic series start off sometime (reasonably) near-after when Carnage first appeared in Spider-Man comics? I read a bunch of both comics back in those days. I feel like there is a familiar vibe and there obviously was an audience for it. And Spawn really took it. Edit: I checked it out! Carnage first volume April 1992, Spawn first volume May 1992. Am I actually correct in what I said just there…? I mean. The one month difference is too much spot on.
So after Jim's arc the comic goes back to what happened when Al killed himself. That's where God as a dog talks with him and brings him back to earthrealm. My opinion: Nah Al's story should have been over with his suicide. Perfect ending for character, at that point he had done it all.

No unfortunately at a certain point spawn just started getting retconned to the point where there would be contradictions every week.
this is such gold. thank you for making this man.
I knew this series went off the rails, but i didnt think it was within the first 20 issues
Loved it brother!!! Thanks!!
This is your best video bro 💯‼️
It’s good to see a lot of the Spawn toys I collected have a reason to make it to the comics

Spawn, Piccolo and Guts from Berserk are the 3 best characters ever. Others are awesome but these 3 are the best.
Im 50. But those first 20 issues or so, good in my opinion. Al Simmons is s badass. 💯😎

Lets go!!! Just started and I'm excited. Bout to shove a bunch of useless knowledge right down the old gullet.
Why is the comic different from the animated series ???
This is hard to follow. So how did Al simmons come back to become spawn. I thought he was king spawn. Who is spawn currently??
He came back in the spawn resurrection arc. He was king spawn far before that. Al Simmons is spawn currently.
Are you hiring voice actors??
スポーンは何で終わる事が出来ないままで続くのいい加減に止めて欲しいです。
Thanks for this. I fell off years ago, and I was curious about where the story went.

In marvel, Angela is Thor's sister some how now.

For your channel drop this guy
This was a great video recap, but holy fuck has this comic book gone off the rails.
Can’t you trip like Spawn?
Well played sir
He was in the Marine Corps not the army
Hmm. Did *Spawn* comic series start off sometime (reasonably) near-after when Carnage first appeared in Spider-Man comics? I read a bunch of both comics back in those days. I feel like there is a familiar vibe and there obviously was an audience for it. And Spawn really took it.
Edit:
I checked it out! Carnage first volume April 1992, Spawn first volume May 1992. Am I actually correct in what I said just there…? I mean. The one month difference is too much spot on.
It makes sense since Carnage is the spawn of Venom, and the first artist of Venom was Spawn's creator Todd McFarlane.
Did Armageddon just not happen as the comics went on?
Bro i didn't have my earphones in 😭😭😭😭
Will you continue to explain each issue individually ?? Like will issue 283 comes ?
Good review. Thanks for not reading the commic to me. Ill give you a few likes and views to get you going.
