/co/, give me the rundown on Spawn, is any of it any good?

Not really.
The issues with guest writers are ok, but Todd McFarlane can't write for shit and he should've stayed merely an editor while giving someone else the chance to write it.

I would be curious to see what a good writer could do with a new Spawn series.

>>92344444
There has been a few runs by other writers but it happened when it was already too late for anyone to give a shit and actually save the character. I don't even know if the character is still being published in a regular fashion nowadays.

Nice digits btw

Early Spawn is pretty good but it goes off the rails as it goes on

>>92344194
there's a handful of runs that are pretty good. Armageddon was dumb but fun for instance.

>good

Pick one, not both
And what >>92344296 said

I picked up2 trades written by mcfarlane and I can't remember the last time I was that bored

The average Spawn story:
- Spawn is sitting on his throne, which is made of rotten, worm-infested remains
- Cogliostro or Angela or Violator or the mailman come and either tells him to solve his problems or threatens him with some prophecy (which of course will never be fulfilled)
- Spawn, still seated on his rotten throne, remembers his wife and daughter and cries a bit
- From his skyscraper, Jason Wynn puts a bad guy face and orders some evil action to be done
- Spawn is still in his worm-infested throne talking to his beggar friends, who tell some joke
- Malebolgia says that Al Simmons will be his someday and laughs hysterically
- Spawn is still crying in his throne when a supernatural menace appears and Spawn spectacularly fights it... for three pages
- And now that he has left the throne, he will take a look at his ex-family from the window, like a fucking stalker. He cries a bit more.
- Cogliostro insists that something big is coming, that everything’s going to change, that the prophecy will be fulfilled. One of these days.
- In the end, Spawn is sitting on his stinky throne again.
Repeat for about 100 issues.

Yes, very small parts of it. Armageddon and the reboot was written by other writers and the first had some good moments and the second was great shit.

Jeez. Does Al at least have a good character?

Coincidentally, that probably hasn't happened since issue 100.
