6 ай бұрынTodd McFarlane Talks New Spawn Movie & Comics, Akira, Spider-Man, Original Art and Inspiration! It's Todd Talk - a new interview with Todd McFarlane in 2024! Todd joins me as we chat about his career, he tells a few stories new to us as we talk Spider-Man, Akira, Inspiration, Baseball, and his beginnings in the comic industry. He gives us a small movie update and his hopes of what's to come. We also chat about new Spawn titles and Spawn 350! If you’re interested in comics, comic collecting, comic book art, Marvel, DC Comics, comic book news and more from the comic community - this Todd McFarlane video is for you!
Todd McFarlane, a Canadian-born comic book artist and writer, is best known for his groundbreaking work on Amazing Spider-Man and the creation of Spawn. His dynamic illustrations of Spider-Man in the late 1980s revolutionized the character, and his co-founding of Image Comics in 1992 allowed him to unleash Spawn, a dark and iconic anti-hero. McFarlane's contributions extend beyond comic books, with his company McFarlane Toys producing highly detailed action figures, and his ventures into film production with projects like "Spawn" and "Todd McFarlane's Spawn 350" showcasing his enduring impact on the comic book industry and popular culture.

As soon as Todd came on the screen after you introduced him, a smile stretched wide across my face. It hasn’t left 😂. To see my favorite artist on the channel of my favorite human being in this community is so special. Congratulations don’t even cover this moment for you Dave. I’m happy for you and I’m damn proud as well. This is without a doubt the best interview with Todd I’ve seen. The questions were beyond excellent and it had a level of uniqueness that no interviewer has brought before. Loved every damn second of this. Hearing the man himself say STBT is absolutely legendary. I’ll eat everything up that Todd says but seeing his reaction to everything you showed him that you had was really special. Amazing job to the both of you ❤

Wow, Dave, that was an awesome interview! When I saw the thumbnail, I thought maybe it was clickbait (not that you do that, just the gravity of it). You've had some powerhouse interviews lately, but this is my favorite. See Todd, Buy Todd. Well done my man, well done.

So cool to see you achieve this goal! My first job at age 16 was working for a shop Todd co-owned with his brother in law Kim, called Spider’s Web Cards and Comics. The back storage room was packed with large brown paper bags FULL of Todd’s original art from ASM, Hulk, Infinity Inc, etc. I’d pull a bag down and pour over them every lunch break! Each birthday I worked there they’d gift me a page, so I have an Incredible Hulk page and an amazing Infinity Inc splash page. Todd was always so kind putting up with my questions as a young aspiring artist when I’d get to sit next to him at store signings. Thanks for bringing back some great memories!

Sincerely Dave, this makes me so happy. I started out picking up some random books and ephemera from this funny, no-f*cks-given dude on Whatnot because he wasn’t trying to bs me into buying garbage, to temporarily holding the record for his biggest book sold, to now just showing up to support and see his journey progress (and still pick up some goodies here and there). It’s inspiring, man, and I’m here for all it. Cheers, Dave!

Todd you have made a lot of great DC MULTIVERSE action figures. Most of them I like. But a few I didn't. But I hope you'll make Grail the daughter of Darkseid, Soranik Natu the daughter of Sinestro of the Sinestro Corps. Arkillo, Cyborg Superman, another Gorilla Grodd, Giganta, The Cheetah, Scarecrow of the Sinestro Corps, Superman of the Sinestro Corps, another Parallax like the one I seen in some of the videos. Grayven the son of Darkseid and Orion the son of Darkseid. High Father and Yuga Khan. But Yuga Khan as a 12 inch tall DC MULTIVERSE action figure. Hopefully you'll make more Sinestro Corps DC MULTIVERSE action figures.

Todd McFarlane,is full of crap cause we will never get a new Spawn movie cause Todd wants it done his way which is to put Spawn as a horror character hiding in the shadows and he should have it done just like the comics are and give the movie to Hollywood to make and give Todd a little say so on it but if we do get another movie,it better not be like the crappy 1997 Spawn movie we got. Todd has also talked about a new Spawn animated series which there has been nothing on it at all.
