"jesus".... what a great story. lol. Rob, I love hearing you lay the stories out, even if I already know the story. My partner of 15 years died suddenly in Jan so for the first time in 15 years I'm alone. Due to quarantine I've lost my job. Money troubles and living alone during covid is brutal. I've had many bad days, but things get better and to be honest.... your videos really do it for me. I can just relax and listen. I don't mean to lay out a sad story, I only mention it because you've really helped me. 6 months of being alone is tough, but I thought you would like to know what you mean to us youtuber watchers. thanks for everything man, thanks so much.
You're never really completely alone. Never really completely un-alone either. Maybe it's too soon, but... The universe is both wondrous and terrible, to extents beyond imagining. But try as it might, nothing can really 'force' you to frown, or to smile. Spit in the eye of fate and laugh. And smile, it's more fun.
We all go through it Clint. As a fellow rob fan I think we al relate in some way shape or form. Please message me if you ever need help or just wanna talk. I know this reply is 6 months after your original comment but I hope things have gotten easier for you and I hope you’ve found some peace. Peace and blessings man.
I think the main reason that ending revealing who Al was on Earth came as a shock because everyone glossed over the fact that when he died, he went straight to hell. Like no one thought to ask what he did to end up in hell.
My perception at least till now was b/c of all the people he killed that weren't actually the bad people he thought they were because of his boss (someone correct me if that never came up), but that last thing definitely makes more sense as to why 🙁
The reason he went to Hell had been explained long, loooong before this arc. Basically, before Spawn reset everything, every human that died had a totally random, 50/50 chance of going either to hell or heaven. No matter how much good they did in their life, or if they were monstruous serial killers, it was just a flip of a coin for every person who died on Earth. And... I probably shouldn't say more, since recently a LOT of stuff has changed about things we thought were resolved long ago, so I don't want to spoil the surprises for potential new Spawn readers.
Aside from his powers being amazing, it's the way that they deal with real world issues and not sugar coat the dark problems that plague all of us around the world. They also manage to highlight some of the amazing good that still manages to shine through even the darkest times. There are so many reasons to love this series. The amazing artwork the storytelling or the way they show us the good the bad and the ugly. It's all there.
It's the trick of Spawn. Spawn is sick of al the bullshit of powers f conflict happening here, and despite being near all-powerful he will always talk like a very tired guy dealing with the system, when Spawn opens his mouth, it's refreshing.
Best written? No It's really enjoyable and it is much better than it was when began but the writing is not good,.it's actually one of the worst written modern comics. Understand I say that as super Spawn fan but the truth is the truth and Spawn is great in spite of writing not bc
Remember kids, don’t mock God. Also, I don’t mean to force anything on anyone, but we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested
Damn, they didn't have to turn Al into a repressed physically abusive husband. Like you've been rooting for him this whole time and then it's like "well, I guess he shouldn't be with Wanda. Back to the alley."
I actually enjoyed the plot twist. It shows that the whole story was from the point of an unreliable narrator. We never got to see the other characters point of view of who Al was, because it was always about Spawn, not Al. We finally got a glimpse of who he really was as a real characters. Real characters have real flaws. Sometimes those flaws are worse than you thought. Think of a shitty ex one of your friends might've had, someone who would seem amazing when it's all of you, because she was putting up a character ( like Spawn ) and when it was just them the real person would be revealed. You know?
They didnt turnnhim into anything he was already one. Why do you think HE of all the worst in the world was chosen to be THE HELLSPAWN not jus a hellspawn THE Hellspawn. You dont get a title like that by just being a murderer alone anyone could do that.

The last time I heard Rob say,"man! Lemme tell you something,man." was back during the time when he covered the story of World War Hulk. Whenever Rob says something like that,I realise that something really awesome is gonna happen. Btw,to me,Spawn's history is laid out pretty perfectly. From saving the president to hanging between life and death and making a deal with the devil.
But how about chapel coming back from the dead as a horseman of apocalypse being stopped by youngblood, the new men, prophet, etc.. who no longer exist in spawns world, or batman having been the one to scar spawn, he doesn't exist anymore either or violater having been tasked with watching over every spawn ever created but when he first met spawn he didn't know how he was so powerful, or the same reporters who covered al Simmons death not knowing who he was when he revealed himself to the world, or Jake and Katie now still being alive even though they were supposed to be god and satan, or god and satan being back now for unexplained reasons, or jessica priest being an ally of spawn when she was the one that killed him when she was introduced,

I sat through the whole video and loved everything about it. The story was amazing and the art is just beautiful. The ending is so damn amazing making us all know how al Simmons was a terrible person and basically explaining why he's spawn in the first place.

Secondly, I love the way you explain, interact with your audience, i.e which is us and just love your energy and vibe. Keep up the great content and make our days so much amazing.

Legend has it that he is still staring at his screen Remember kids, don’t mock God. Also, we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested
Why is Spawn my favorite character? Well, for me, I find that he is unique person. His character is one that can’t be described by words fully, but when you read the comics or watch the animated series, you sense his character through the tv, something I feel I’ve never seen in any other hero or villain. Everything about his story is intriguing. He is, to me, the most relatable comic character I’ve encountered. Everything he feels, I feel, and that may be because of the wonderful character building, or because of story. And the fact that my Grandmothers maiden name is Simmons also adds a cherry on top for me.
Suleiman The Magnificent well it was more than that. I like to dive deep into a character, beyond the the shallow features such as feats and traits. I like to see who this person REALLY is, go beyond words. There are not many characters that have that sense of depth.
Rob, your videos are one of the few things helping me through this quarantine period. I now realize that not all heroes wear capes. Some have TH-cam channels.
@@abnormalguy6269 the snowflakes could sod off if they want something lighthearted they can watch Barney and Friends Winnie the Pooh and leave the serious stuff for us
Im not sure how you feel about Manga, but one of my favorite ones of all time is Berserk by Kentaro Miura. It is currently being published by Dark Horse Comics for consumption in the west
Wow this was an incredible story. I didn’t see that ending coming at all...the one question I have is his punishment to be Spawn meant to last for eternity? She said he had to be redeemed but this story shows him literally save the world from from heaven and hell plus the trust he placed in letting himself lose before that. What more could he do for redemption? In my opinion, He should’ve sent himself back to those alleys as a way of showing that he’d never forgive himself for what he did rather than it being punished by anyone else for it. Either way it’s a great story and I’m still blown away
@@JokermanUno saving the world when you're being told to is different than saving it because you want to. Spawns whole deal is that he is a pawn for higher powers chosen for his ruthless violence.
The last line of the story, printed on the last page of Spawn sitting on his throne of garbage back in an alley in New York City is "He is Al Simmons, the man who saved our world but could not save himself", and I think that is sort of the point. His punishment is largely self-imposed, though obviously it was enabled and supported by the divine systems in place when he died, but when he saved the world and learned why he was in this situation, he didn't think that he had earned the right to be redeemed. His punishment is ongoing because even though he did what he was supposed to do and saved everyone, he didn't do it for redemption or for atonement. It's saying that sacrifice can only matter if the person knows the stakes, and Al didn't atone for his crime because he never actually admitted to committing it in the first place. Through the series, he believes he's in Hell because of the lives he took as a killer and the people he served, but he never knew and never admitted to killing his child, which means he never truly repented for that crime. The Mother is telling him what he already knows, that he can't go back to his old life because won't let himself, once he knows the truth. It was really an amazing ending and, in my eyes, it was the real ending of the Spawn comic series penned by David Hine and drawn by Phillip Tan. I don't really bother with the Spawn that continued after it because it's just not as interesting.
My initial reaction from beginning to middle was "well damn" this would make for a perfect show. Then listening to the end I was caught in awe. You know spawn is like kratos, a very powerful man who caused his own demise
I appreciate this breakdown so much. I've disconnected with people whom read and lived through this comic book series with me. Just brings back the best of memories... thanks for the breakdown. Spawn4life.

Great job Rob!! Spawn's my favorite comic book character and comicbook franchise. You really did a phenomenal job simplifying and breaking down his story. Well done.!! Merry Xmas btw eh, hope you have a memorable and joyous holiday season. ☃️🎄
Rob...YOU THE MAN! My first comic ever was maximum carnage 1 and I was a youngster and knew the "basics" about comics. Fast forward years later and I no longer read comics but the fanboy in me wishes I still did. Wouldn't know where to start...but anyways you keep me up to date on current story lines and events and for that...I THANK YOU good sir! Sincerely. Love your content it's GREAT. KEEP IT UP! Also as a side note...during the maximum carnage event when Spiderman was beat down and someone sticks his hand out to help him up and I turned the page (as a child) and it was captain america...I'm pretty sure I jumped out of my chair and started whooping! I LOVE COMICS and your channel is GREAT! PROPS SON!
I love Spawn! I saw a Spawn comic book in a window while on vacation and bought it for the return flight. It was my first comic book purchase ever. Fell in love with the character now I’m on my way to buy another one 😂 (Yes, I’m old enough to have seen the movie)
I still have my first printing of spawn from the 90s when image comics first came on the scene. Also have Wildcats with the chromium cover and cyber force
Wow! That was a heart-breaking ending, I'm blown away; all those years I read the Spawn comic book WAY BACK when, I never realized this is what ended up being Al's fate & the horrible dude he was smh, just wow!

Hello Mr. Rob. I've watched your stuff for years and i was wondering, if you're going to eventually do the entire "Spawn," series? Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.
Some notes years later: The old testament is the new testament concealed. When you add Popol vuh 'seasoning,' You get the Mother (the void), God (Her son and the creator of Light), Jesus (the Word of God in the flesh.) The rebellion which is considered a war happened outside of space and time, and Satan lost (Hence the phrase: We have the 'Victory'). Within space and time, what happened in the Spirit is transpiring in the physical (Satan having dominion over the Earth for a short time and killing as much saints and turning as many souls to hell until the day of Judgment. He was cast out for the rebellion and cursed for tempting Eve.) Awesome video, and I've always wanted someone to do a video like this. THank you.
This arc should've ended the series since spawn became incredibly powerful from being in the angel form. It's like when gohan turned ssj 2 and became the most powerful character in the manga, until toriyama pulled ssj 3 out of his ass and made the other characters feel irrelevant.
I did not like the story as much as I expected, but I have to say that this channel has become my #1 companion at work. Listening to the fast narration and the explanations for the last month has been a delight. I even listen to stories I got in my comics just to see them from a different light. Thank you for the commitment, thank you for the organization, thank you for the playlists, thank you for the long videos and thank you for such hard work!
31:54 I wonder if this is the reference that the spawn mirror match in mk11 was talking about. He was pissed that his other dimension counter part didn't protect Wanda and blamed him for it.
You have it mixed up. Cyan was Terry's kid, and Katie and Jake where actually the offspring of Spawn having slept with Wanda using his cloak to disguise him as Terry. They are offspring of necroplasm and human which is why they became vessels for God and Satan. And its also worth mentioning Spawn had been given a curse/gift from "the Mother" to feel all the pain of humanity and had introduced herself to Spawn not long before Malbolgia was killed.
I like to think that either Spawn walked so Preacher could run, or vice-versa lmao!! I had Spawn 2 many, many, MANY, moons ago, along with Shadowhawk 1. The Maxx, I loved Image when they first came out.

Actually that’s Superman. He could’ve taken care all of his problems with one punch at a time since 1938. He just choses not to
Normal consecutive punches!!!!
Best anime attack name ever!
...
I had to sit down and just stare at the screen for 5 minutes so I could emotionally process the ending. Absolutely phenomenal!
Legend has it that he is still staring at his screen
Remember kids, don’t mock God.
Also, we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested
Spawn is one of my all-time favorite Superheroes EVER!!! These stories are just INCREDIBLE!!! Love the stories!!! They make so much sense!!!!
Why is Spawn my favorite character? Well, for me, I find that he is unique person. His character is one that can’t be described by words fully, but when you read the comics or watch the animated series, you sense his character through the tv, something I feel I’ve never seen in any other hero or villain. Everything about his story is intriguing. He is, to me, the most relatable comic character I’ve encountered. Everything he feels, I feel, and that may be because of the wonderful character building, or because of story. And the fact that my Grandmothers maiden name is Simmons also adds a cherry on top for me.
The man literally clashed God and Satan,so uh..yeah.
Suleiman The Magnificent well it was more than that. I like to dive deep into a character, beyond the the shallow features such as feats and traits. I like to see who this person REALLY is, go beyond words. There are not many characters that have that sense of depth.
Hes human
@@comradevlad7459 gotta say don't downplay the value of words as they are the primary driver for every comic, show, movie, book, character, etc
Rob, your videos are one of the few things helping me through this quarantine period. I now realize that not all heroes wear capes. Some have TH-cam channels.
You get a Rob Corps ring!!!!
Lol. You will be okay, man. We are going to make it.
Big facts thanks
Boy shut up
@@mikejohnson6601 Don't make me pull your skirt up boy.
Damn, that ending was like a gut-punch...
lmao that's a messed up joke
🤣
But it worked
This is like my 10th time seeing this vid and I love it every time glad to see you’re still going strong rob! Keep killin it
When you brought up how everyone chose the Dark Side in KOTOR, I just thought on how I literally only ever chose to be good XD
The dark side is the ONLY way lol never played good all these years
I want spawn Armageddon to be made into a movie I don't care if it's a 3 parter or six parter
Yes please
@@abnormalguy6269 the snowflakes could sod off if they want something lighthearted they can watch Barney and Friends Winnie the Pooh and leave the serious stuff for us
I would want Spawn to remain a hidden gem. From what I’ve seen recently, popularity kills good characters.
@@abnormalguy6269 no one is stopping them from watching Sesame Street
I think that blasted dinosaur gave me a nervous twitch
Im not sure how you feel about Manga, but one of my favorite ones of all time is Berserk by Kentaro Miura. It is currently being published by Dark Horse Comics for consumption in the west
sick people watch berserk n goblin slayer.
@@ravenfantasy5680 Then I am one sick bastard. And I feel no shame for it.
@@ravenfantasy5680 wait then what the hell are you doing here watching a comic of Spawn?!
@@ravenfantasy5680 I mean unless you're just joking you're being a huge hypocrite considering you're here watching a comic explained about spawn
@@ravenfantasy5680 Not a fan of Goblin Slayer but Berserk is my favorite manga/comic of all time
Wow this was an incredible story. I didn’t see that ending coming at all...the one question I have is his punishment to be Spawn meant to last for eternity? She said he had to be redeemed but this story shows him literally save the world from from heaven and hell plus the trust he placed in letting himself lose before that. What more could he do for redemption?
In my opinion, He should’ve sent himself back to those alleys as a way of showing that he’d never forgive himself for what he did rather than it being punished by anyone else for it. Either way it’s a great story and I’m still blown away
i guess its like...saving the world doesn't really make you a better person inside. Al still has a lot on internal stuff to work on
@@JokermanUno saving the world when you're being told to is different than saving it because you want to. Spawns whole deal is that he is a pawn for higher powers chosen for his ruthless violence.
The last line of the story, printed on the last page of Spawn sitting on his throne of garbage back in an alley in New York City is "He is Al Simmons, the man who saved our world but could not save himself", and I think that is sort of the point. His punishment is largely self-imposed, though obviously it was enabled and supported by the divine systems in place when he died, but when he saved the world and learned why he was in this situation, he didn't think that he had earned the right to be redeemed. His punishment is ongoing because even though he did what he was supposed to do and saved everyone, he didn't do it for redemption or for atonement. It's saying that sacrifice can only matter if the person knows the stakes, and Al didn't atone for his crime because he never actually admitted to committing it in the first place. Through the series, he believes he's in Hell because of the lives he took as a killer and the people he served, but he never knew and never admitted to killing his child, which means he never truly repented for that crime. The Mother is telling him what he already knows, that he can't go back to his old life because won't let himself, once he knows the truth.
It was really an amazing ending and, in my eyes, it was the real ending of the Spawn comic series penned by David Hine and drawn by Phillip Tan. I don't really bother with the Spawn that continued after it because it's just not as interesting.
💯💯💯💯💯
The end of this has blown me away like nothing ever before .
My initial reaction from beginning to middle was "well damn" this would make for a perfect show. Then listening to the end I was caught in awe. You know spawn is like kratos, a very powerful man who caused his own demise
@I am tired of humanity I thought the show was aight and was underrated. Now the movie on the other hand 😔
Just fyi, the "new testament is benevolent, old testament is wrathful" idea has the most sketchy backstory of all time
That surprise twist at the end was a real punch to the gut.

Beyond Omega Level: Resurrection Man
I appreciate this breakdown so much. I've disconnected with people whom read and lived through this comic book series with me. Just brings back the best of memories... thanks for the breakdown. Spawn4life.
Rip spawn

Spawn was always my favorite before I even knew about DC and Marvel
“Now the reality is that if everybody cared about everybody else indiscriminately, the world couldn’t function.” Please explain that statement???
I love how a God looks like a buff teenage Micheal Jackson.
S/O to Todd Mcfarlen for making one of the greatest comic book series be based around a black man lol
Who beat his wife and killed his unborn child
@@1mezion 🤔😒 I'm sure plenty of other "heroes" have done things that were just as bad, or worse.
@@1mezion He actually didn't do any of that, that memory was planted.
does that really matter tho?
Soooooo and your point?
"You don't care about my opinion on comics." Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh yah I do.
Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no I don't.
Started listening like a couple weeks ago and now your like 2 hours out of every shift for me. Love the stuff
Great job Rob!! Spawn's my favorite comic book character and comicbook franchise. You really did a phenomenal job simplifying and breaking down his story. Well done.!!
Merry Xmas btw eh, hope you have a memorable and joyous holiday season. ☃️🎄
This has got to be the best comic arc I've ever listened to
"Nobody chooses the light side first"
I CAN'T play the dark side. I feel too bad being cruel, even to NPCs.
Honestly I'm suprised no one has covered 'The Darkness' comics. Pretty good read
Good Covers Too
@@gocpng4699 decent video games as well
Rob...YOU THE MAN! My first comic ever was maximum carnage 1 and I was a youngster and knew the "basics" about comics. Fast forward years later and I no longer read comics but the fanboy in me wishes I still did. Wouldn't know where to start...but anyways you keep me up to date on current story lines and events and for that...I THANK YOU good sir! Sincerely. Love your content it's GREAT. KEEP IT UP!
Also as a side note...during the maximum carnage event when Spiderman was beat down and someone sticks his hand out to help him up and I turned the page (as a child) and it was captain america...I'm pretty sure I jumped out of my chair and started whooping!
I LOVE COMICS and your channel is GREAT!
PROPS SON!
I love Spawn! I saw a Spawn comic book in a window while on vacation and bought it for the return flight. It was my first comic book purchase ever. Fell in love with the character now I’m on my way to buy another one 😂 (Yes, I’m old enough to have seen the movie)
Watch the adult animated series, you'll love it!
@@Xerxes069 ooh i've never seen it i'll look into that today thanks!
“Jedi suck!” 🤣. Quote of the week for me.
I recomend either going back to the beginning where you left off with spawn, or continuing to read up until issue 185 and then jumping to issue 250
I still have my first printing of spawn from the 90s when image comics first came on the scene. Also have Wildcats with the chromium cover and cyber force
Me too
Me too!
Yes me too
The image of Jake just floating and rob saying “he is god himself” had me rolling 21:37
i love when he says " man lemme tell u somethin hehehe" i also love his laugh
I love hearing about Spawn, I loved the Movie but sadly knew nothing about Spawn comics.
Honestly, I need "Man, lemme tell you something" on a shirt or something.
Dude thats a great idea!
Wow! That was a heart-breaking ending, I'm blown away; all those years I read the Spawn comic book WAY BACK when, I never realized this is what ended up being Al's fate & the horrible dude he was smh, just wow!
How does it feel to see your childhood hero die?
Remember kids, don’t mock God.
Also, we have various types of evidence for biblical events, if anyone is interested
I really like how excited and happy you sound when you talk about comics!

How many times do things "begin to pop off" ? Spawn got it poppin !!!
Poppin like Mary!!!!
So does the mother strip Spawn of all of his divine abilities once she sends him back to the alleys?
He gives them up.
He gives them up

Dope. Disappointed at the true character of Al a little... still dope.
He's all the more human that way
Hello Mr. Rob. I've watched your stuff for years and i was wondering, if you're going to eventually do the entire "Spawn," series? Thank you for all your hard work and dedication.
Some notes years later: The old testament is the new testament concealed. When you add Popol vuh 'seasoning,' You get the Mother (the void), God (Her son and the creator of Light), Jesus (the Word of God in the flesh.) The rebellion which is considered a war happened outside of space and time, and Satan lost (Hence the phrase: We have the 'Victory'). Within space and time, what happened in the Spirit is transpiring in the physical (Satan having dominion over the Earth for a short time and killing as much saints and turning as many souls to hell until the day of Judgment. He was cast out for the rebellion and cursed for tempting Eve.)
Awesome video, and I've always wanted someone to do a video like this. THank you.
I love this! Thanks Rob
I’ve always loved spawn but for some reason never read any comics. Thanks Bro! You fulfilled a bit of my childhood wishes
Kinda like in avengers movie when Loki said to Black widow; " you lie and kill in the service of liars and killers...."
30:50 when god get's home and you haven't defrosted the chicken.
Humorous
@@gocpng4699
Femur. 😅
This arc should've ended the series since spawn became incredibly powerful from being in the angel form. It's like when gohan turned ssj 2 and became the most powerful character in the manga, until toriyama pulled ssj 3 out of his ass and made the other characters feel irrelevant.
Some dude mentioned this Chanel on the Joe Rogan pod and now I can't get enough I've been watching every video
I did not like the story as much as I expected, but I have to say that this channel has become my #1 companion at work. Listening to the fast narration and the explanations for the last month has been a delight. I even listen to stories I got in my comics just to see them from a different light. Thank you for the commitment, thank you for the organization, thank you for the playlists, thank you for the long videos and thank you for such hard work!
31:54 I wonder if this is the reference that the spawn mirror match in mk11 was talking about. He was pissed that his other dimension counter part didn't protect Wanda and blamed him for it.
Let’s honest “ man of miracles” is god or Jesus, he the only one who can make miracles, blood into wine the hint is in his name
MacFarlane needs to come with another series of spwan!2020.
You have it mixed up. Cyan was Terry's kid, and Katie and Jake where actually the offspring of Spawn having slept with Wanda using his cloak to disguise him as Terry. They are offspring of necroplasm and human which is why they became vessels for God and Satan. And its also worth mentioning Spawn had been given a curse/gift from "the Mother" to feel all the pain of humanity and had introduced herself to Spawn not long before Malbolgia was killed.
Fairly certain Cyan is Spawns kid too...that's how she's The Black Mirror
@markeastlack4180 nope she is Terry's daughter
That’s the greatest Spawn story I never heard until now !!! 🤘🏻
These vids show rob listens to his fans and gives us stuff we want 2 c 😎🤘
Wassup loving these covers you do for spawn as they help readers catch up
Dude my brain after watching all of this is like filled
The Artwork is phenomenal!
I've listened to some other TH-camrs who tell comic book stories and you are the very best. Thanks for the great content
I wish the HBO animated series was extended to when spawn fights pretty much everyone.
Todd McFarlane is a genius greatest comic story ever told 👏
Beast af
"MAAN LEMME TELL YOU SOMETHING" is like 5 star Michelin rating for comics lol
I'm glad to see this channel return to comics!
Story sounds a lot like the show “Preacher” on AMC with a little “Supernatural” mixed in.
They were both borrowed heavily from Macfarlane’s work in spawn.
Am I the only one that reads Spawn's lines in Keith David's voice? Lol
Me too. Keith David is Spawn.
@The_Sith_Saiyan_Lord You're blunt but you have a point

Nope.
That was insane I've always liked spawn but this just let me know spawn is just aww inspiringly good don't know if that's a word but it fits
Thank you for this episode, I had forgotten how much I love Spawn!
I like to think that either Spawn walked so Preacher could run, or vice-versa lmao!! I had Spawn 2 many, many, MANY, moons ago, along with Shadowhawk 1. The Maxx, I loved Image when they first came out.
