Todd McFarlane Productions proudly presents the comic book event of the year: "The Death of Spawn."

Boy, way to jump on the bandwagon Todd and try to out do Captain America's death....:rolleyes:

[MONSTER]

Hasn't Spawn pretty much been dying over the last few years anyways?

[Wolverine1]

I thought Spawn was dead anyways....

[JadeGiant]

oh boy, that will be an easy story line to reverse

[Leon]

Spawn will really be missed http://www.forums.megadeth.com/images/smilies/rofl.gif

[Babytoxie]

Good riddance.:D

I recall that in the early issues of Spawn, there was a power meter that showed how much he had left before he'd "really die". Seems like it would have run out long ago. Did they do away with it, or has it stuck with the series?

:laugh:

I followed Spawn for about the first 50 issues and gave up. There's some cool concepts and designs in that series but it's just the same never ending dreck for the most part.

I followed Spawn for awhile myself. The art was good, and some of the stories were entertaining. I then realized that the story was going nowhere and gave up! I stopped at issue #50 myself.

[JadeGiant]

50 must have been the magic number ... I stopped buying/reading at the same point

[rychehitman]

I probably WANTED to stop buying at issue #37 or so..but hung in for the milestone!

ditto ... LOL:laugh:

[Teague]

Wow....I gave up on Spawn at #50, too!

Here's the question: if Spawn dies, and there's no one left to read about it, does he still suck? :thumbs2:

Here's the answer: yes, and he always has...well, after the first couple dozen issues or so.

At least when Cap was killed there was no pre-announcement as with Superman and now with Spawn.

[RichBamf]

At least when Cap was killed there was no pre-announcement as with Superman and now with Spawn.

Although I think a lot of people expected Cap to 'die' (I use quotation marks as dead isn't dead for long in Quesada's Marvel).

Personally I think that the whole delay thing was actually them changing the ending so that Steve didn't die. Thus lulling us into a false sense of security, then killing him off in the next issue of Cap.

It was Armageddon all over again if you ask me, but then I'm a suspicious bastard. :laugh:

[Bartholomew]

does anyone still care about Spawn?

[Wolverine1]

does anyone still care about Spawn?
Theres a few, I thought Batman and him were teaming up?

[chromesamurai]

Finally, something is actually happening in a Spawn comic. You can read issues 1-40 or so, then issue 100 and it's all you'll ever need. That comic is a great example of nothing happening in a comic book.

I hope he stays dead. I think the comic in general has always been pretty weak. But of course he'll be brought back. McFarlane has too much of a man-crush on him.

[Daredevil]

me three!!!

[Wolverine1]

me three!!!
What happened in 50, did he die then too?

[Razkiel]

:laugh:

I don't even care about what he'll do to Spawn, he can fry him, toast him, kill him , send him to hell back and forth...as long as I concern SPAWN sux! so yeah it's about time he kill the comic too :buttrock:

[Razkiel]

ugh hope Spawn and all his incarnates stay dead.... *shudders*

[Razkiel]

It's about time! no more spawn YES!!!!

[CanadianMachine]

I also stopped reading at 50. Thats one book, where the story went no where. I am glad some fool out there in ebay land bought them from me.

[Meta Jon]

I think I quit before 50 but I always said the story was going no-where fast, I also always said that a decent comic writer (like Peter David) could have written the entire Spawn story in less than 4 issues and still tell more of a story than McFarlane did in 50.

[Ink]

I gave up around #80, I think

hey guys, I just won Spawn issues 1-50 on ebay! Doh! Well crap!:bawling:

[Makkari1]

I thought he was already dead and as a dead man came back to be used by his master? So if he was already dead then where do dead people when they die?:confused2 So I guest in the end he'll just die again? Maybe he should fight the Destroyer so he can be vaporized into nothinghness?

[lord odin]

So is this the end of Spawn? I remember Tood M saying that in his book dead is dead when Angela or Tiffany died I forget which one.

[Lizard King]

I wasn't even aware that the Toddster was still involved with anything remotely creative with Spawn. I always found it amazing that these Image guys were so into being creators and artists when they formed the company, but aside from Larsen they all moved on to other "loves" outside comics. Good riddance. I hope this is one character that stays dead.

[TheJoker]

I bought #1 and watched the movie i think that was enough

Angela died in issue 100. Suspiciously, not long after Gaiman's co-ownership of the character was established. Tiffany, oddly enough, seems to be exactly like Angela, except with a different name and a slightly different outfit. :confused2

wasn't the movie suppost to cover issues 1-50?

Thanks I knew it was either Angela,Tiffany or Jean Grey.:laugh:

The sad thing is that he was already dead how much more dead can he be?

[Vince-Vell]

I read about the first 10 issues of spawn and saw the movie. Thats about it. Never really liked the character, so meh.....

[lemonman6]

This whole thing was an April Fools joke.

Leave it to McFarlane to once again disapppoint :thumbsdow

[Natrix]

Yep, joke is right.

FUNNY...I thought it was more than likely a joke with the "Comic event of the year" quote

On Friday, we announced the "'Death of Spawn' comic book event" -- as our first April Fools day joke! Don't worry, Todd has no intention of killing off his most famous creation. (Besides, he's already dead!) Special thanks to the Spawn creative team for going along with it all!

Sad....I guess the only way to try to fool people for April Fools day is to announce something 2-3 days before April Fools Day anymore. I can't wait until it is 2-3 weeks early to try and get one over on people.

[SirConor]

I was only a kid when Spawn debuted, so I liked him because I thought the toys were really cool.

I also liked the movie when that came out (still do, even though its one big Cheese-fest), and the video game on Dreamcast was a hell of a lot of fun actually.

Never got into the comics, so I wouldn't know nor care if he's alive or dead, but I liked him and his cast of characters when I was a young'n.
