Are Spawn Comics Worth Reading?

There's been a comic that's been around 30 years and that is...SPAWN. Now that Spawn is past 300 issues, multiple spin offs, and a tv show and even a movie you're wondering...should you read the comics? I'll tell you my point of view!

    Honestly, spawn is my favorite comic of all time. To me there’s never a dull moment. The story, art, and villain designs are top notch. Spawn is a comic where it can both take its time and build up really interesting things and move really fast and be action packed. I love that it can do both of those.

    A lot of people hate now but Todd is an icon and a legend. The Spawn comic definitely seemed a little aimless sometimes when Todd was writing and it certainly suffered from too much dialogue but I would still recommend it. Without a doubt he is one of the biggest independent icons. Probably only surpassed by the turtles. 3 or 4 video games plus several cameos in top tier fighter games. The animated show was excellent and won awards and I like the movie despite its flaws. I remember going to see it in theaters with my dad and cousins. It's all happy memories for me

    SPAWN has always been squarely aimed at the lowest common denominator; that's why it still sells. Once you get past the cool art, it's complete tripe.

    Been doing a read through of spawn. It is incredibly uneven. Some times it is an amazing horror action adventure. Some time it feels like an emo diary and is incredibly slow.

    Id love to see a new TV show of Spawn. I tried watching the older show with my Dad and we were both on the verge of falling asleep by episode 3 or so. Its a shame that the comics aren't stellar but i find it interesting that Spawn is elevated when he is in something where he's not the main focus. You mentioned the crossover events but also in games like Soul Calibur 2 or Mortal Kombat 11 he's pretty striking in those.

    I believe Spawn as a legitimate R rated scary horror/detective movie would be amazing!!!! Spawn is in an extremely unique position and could take a horror film in a different direction. Awesome video!

    I feel like spawn has no real development. In issue 5 he is lonely and sobbing for his Wanda. In issue 50 it's the same.

    Let me see some phone book sized B&W books of old SPAWN stories showing off that crazy artwork for $20-$25 bucks. Or better yet some $50 hardcovers like the BESERK B&W manga. Something that would look classy on the shelves.

    If you want something memorable, Spawn isn't worth reading. The first 100 issues are a classic, but there's nothing mindblowing after all.

    I still don't get how or why y'all dislike the movie, I never see the issues or the problems in the movie, that how I discovered Spawn from that movie as kid & got me into the Spawn Universe.

    I was a kid, the demographic, Spawn aimed for back in 92. The written history won't tell you Spawn wasn't consistent, sometimes two issues a month to catch up. But the real kicker was around issue 60-70s the comicbook wasn't available anymore. It disappeared from my news stands and comicbook stores. Anyway, issues 1-100 is about it for the story. It's all weird mini-sagas, spin-offs, what-ifs, retconns, etc between 102-290ish. I met Todd at the 301st issue meet&greet where I tried to pick up the story again, but I like the early style "pg-13 cheese" era. The uber blood,guts, horror stories later on get old and abysmally redundant. The OG era with early Capullo art...yeah man

    Today's Spawn is much better than 90s Spawn in pretty much every way possible.

    I am currently on the Resurrection arc after having an on and off relationship with the Spawn series since the late 90s, then coming back and reading through the five compendiums released so far. I feel that the main series is more filler than a solid narrative. Todd likes to drag this series out just to break the records he wants to as a creator-owned franchise and it certainly shows, with so many slow burns that ultimately go nowhere and retcons galore. I'm still adamant about getting through the whole series, but I'm definitely taking my time.
