About the author

Todd McFarlane is a Canadian comic book artist, writer, toy manufacturer/designer, and media entrepreneur who is best known as the creator of the epic occult fantasy series Spawn.

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, McFarlane became a comic book superstar due to his work on Marvel Comics' Spider-Man franchise. In 1992, he helped form Image Comics, pulling the occult anti-hero character Spawn from his high school portfolio and updating him for the 1990s. Spawn was one of America's most popular heroes in the 1990's and encouraged a trend in creator-owned comic book properties.

In recent years, McFarlane has illustrated comic books less often, focusing on entrepreneurial efforts, such as McFarlane Toys and Todd McFarlane Entertainment, a film and animation studio.

In September, 2006, it was announced that McFarlane will be the Art Director of the newly formed 38 Studios, formerly Green Monster Games, founded by Curt Schilling.

McFarlane used to be co-owner of National Hockey League's Edmonton Oilers but sold his shares to Daryl Katz. He's also a high-profile collector of history-making baseballs.

It’s ok, I guess? The art by Philip Tan is awesome, and it’s definitely a step up from earlier Spawn, but it still meanders and doesn’t feel stable. I’ll have to read the second volume, obviously… but I didn’t enjoy this as much as I thought I would.

After being tortured, Spawn is released thanks to Sam and Burke. They bring with them the boy that is Spawn's heart. He unleashes the souls within Spawn which tear apart the devils that surround them. But a greater war has begun. One between hell and heaven, the latter of which has no leader - God is not on the throne, but Zera, queen of the seraphim is on the scene. Demons invade the Earth as well in the shape of various mythological beings of folklore. Spawn addresses them using his souls from Japan and India.

Meanwhile Wanda's kids seem to regularly fight and maim each other. But they are also either immortal or fast healers. Wanda witnesses the results of one of their fights and panics.
