Todd did it right - He made Al Simmons as 'one' of many Hell Spawns which means there can be several stories about different Hell Spawns. No reboot will ever be needed.
My gosh! I just love Todd to death. I agree with all he had to say especially the numbering on comics. Very wonderful interview ComicTom. Loved every minute of it and I don't comment much. Definitely worth it 👌 🙌 😌 😊
In my over 30 years of collecting, I can’t believe I’ve never seen in an interview of Todd McFarlane until you posted the first one. I am loving everything about him! Well done, Tom! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
As a 90s kid Todd’s work was a big part of my life. From Spawn, to his artwork style and toys. Love the interview, great to hear insight on such iconic work.
This is probably my favorite interview ever. Shout out to Todd for being real and revealing some secrets. Just dugout my Spawn 7 unsigned copy. Not i just need Tom to sign it. Keep my fingers cross someday🤞🏻👍🏽
Todd just keeps doing his thing his way and it works. Just give me a good story with great art and I’m hooked, that is what Todd has given comic fans for the last 30 years. Keep up the great work Todd.
Sooo good! It’s amazing how after so many years in the industry the ToddFather still has a clear vision and respect for the comic book characters, industry and the comic community! And how cool was it to have Todd represent The ComicTom101 Channel! Well done sir!
Love this interview series! Todd is the man and so down to earth! He is an incredible artist and writer as well! So glad I picked up my ASM 316! Can't wait to see what comes next from this man!
What a great interview Tom. It has to be such a relief to interview someone willing to give details like this that many are unaware of. This open book Todd Father interview is turning in to one of my favorite interviews period. Not just about comics, I mean period. Great stuff Tom.
Todd is always so on point with his mind on the pulse of his fans. He knows what we want and he gives it to us without any marketing bullshit or gimmicks. He talks to and interacts with his community and is just a really likeable person. Ive always looked up to Todd since I was a kid and growing up learning more about him always made me feel like I could never have that don't meet your idols type of situation with him.
Thank you for sharing this interview with us. I am having a great time watching I feel like a winner already. I learned so much. More to come I loving it I can't get enough of it. And keep on comic.
Todd was really transparent and detailed, which is very much appreciated. The time he takes to share and connect with fans and fellow creators to learn from him is quite admirable.
- Gotta say watching this interveiw unfold has been a blast to watch. Gotta give it up Tom, Good shit bro!!!. Todd seems like a str8 up good dude... His stories are classic 🤘
First commented here, I have to say that it's VERY good to see Todd's excitement talking about the works and part of his career. It's the kind of interview that I didn't want to see ending. It's been almost two years since I started watching the channel, Congratulations on your work guys, hugs from Brazil
This is how you know someone has a passion for what they are doing. Todd is 100% a self made man! CT I hope you do other interviews with more comic book creators in the future.
Best one yet !! Such a cool down the earth stand up guy ! The Todd father ! Can’t wait for this months mail call ☎️ comic Tom is and always will be da 🐐🐐🐐🐐
More!!! Give us more!!! We need a Rob Liefeld, or Jim Lee or maybe a Marvel legend like Starlin or Claremont!! Great video and interview Tom keep it up!
I've always respected this guy personally since I was a little kid and grown up with spawn and comics... but as of lately just watching little things to fall asleep to..I've stumbled across interviews like this and other pieces of media with Todd...and hearing the story how he left marvel and especially him sticking to his guns with how HE does things is the most inspiring shit I've ever heard... I love how can come across sorta cranky and old school...but THATS LOVE and PASSION for the business...and to be honest... its EXTREMELY motivating for me because I've been at a place of work for nearly 10 years and I've been scares to step out and start my own business...but with the support and self belief I'm finally starting to see the first steps come to fruition. And man...I cant stop thinking about how he stuck it to marvel and is STILL going strong.........doing it HIS way. Fucking #1 todd.
For some reason I always thought MacFarlane was a bit arrogant. I'd heard various things over the years that led me to think that. These interviews have been absolutely brilliant and a real eye opener.I've not heard as much sense spoken about comics for a long time, especially on pricing and rebooting. I've really changed my opinion about TM having watched these vids and even started buying some Spawn stuff again after 20 years.
I don't want this series to end. Tom you are killing it 👏 I haven't seen the Toddfather this energized in an interview in a while. You're asking all the right questions. I love seeing him heated at Marvel 😆
Again, this is the best TODD MCFARLANE interview I've ever seen. He is right about numbering. Higher numbers mean so much to me. Quality is what should sell the book not a new low number.
I love his comment on not renumbering a series. I remember how disappointed I was when DC renumbered for "New 52". At the time I was collecting Detective Comics and had a continuous run from 450-881 and was thinking I would continue to collect until at least issue 1000, then DC screwed it up. That put me off comics for several years.
This is such a cool interview. Todd is making me such a fanboy. I admit, I was tired of him back in the 90's but now I just can't get enough. The man is better than legend!
This is legendary stuff you get here. I love how candid Todd is in interviews. I got some awesome backstory for one of my favourite covers: Batman 423. Love to hear the stories
Wow gotta thank you & your staff for an awesome job on these series of videos you picked the brain of the TODD FATHER for some awesome details great interview your our generations Johnny Carson look forward to next bigdog interview
I got Todd's autograph on Spawn #1 comic when I went to a pre-screening of the Spawn movie in Pasadena when I was 14! (around early 1997 I think) I didn't think he would be there, but I brought it just in case.
This is an incredible interview. I find Todd's outlook refreshing. I had been out of comics for over 15 years but got back in. I have jumped into Spawn at issue 300. The ride has been amazing. I will be supporting the Spawn Universe.
Digging it. Thank you for doing this. I love his intimated respect for EL. "Blah blah blah, that's a GREAT name," and then, "I love the guy." I hope they do have a good relationship, because it's important to recognize good relationships aren't always nice/comfy.
Todd went in on this one lol
What's up Gem.
Straight up heated at marvel
@@HomeGrownComics lol he’s not understanding their moves. I like his thought process.
Droppin F-bombs!
Right !
“I’ll put a #1 on every issue”-Todd 😂
batman 423 ..."deadline"... haha, so simple, so awesome! love it.
As new reader of Spawn, I do appreciate that there has never been a renumbering of issues. That little detail makes a huge difference!
I like McFarlane even more after this interview. His "#1" idea he mentioned is great lol. Im so glad he will not be rebooting Spawn. 👍👍
Todd did it right - He made Al Simmons as 'one' of many Hell Spawns which means there can be several stories about different Hell Spawns. No reboot will ever be needed.
didnt he reboot it a year ago ?
@@bladerji think they've "remastered" some issues but i don't think it was a reboot. (I could be wrong.)
I've always loved Todd's work, along with Jim Lee's. I got to get that Batman cover. Great interview.
You should interview Rob Liefeld next and ask him about drawing feet and his Captain America drawing.
Also the idea that they created image comic is by looking at a video that say imagine is everything that is totally awesome.
My gosh! I just love Todd to death. I agree with all he had to say especially the numbering on comics. Very wonderful interview ComicTom. Loved every minute of it and I don't comment much. Definitely worth it 👌 🙌 😌 😊
Todd is the man. That number rant? DEAD ON. Great content Tom as always...
I love Todd's energy. I feel like he doesn't get enough credit for having one of these best personalities in the business
Loving the insights, Todd's given me some more Toddfather keys to hunt for...
Love the story behind the cover of Batman 423. Guess the old adage, "Less is More" is accurate.
That so funny. When I’m looking good and my wife says “hey” I say, “image is everything” just like the commercial.
In my over 30 years of collecting, I can’t believe I’ve never seen in an interview of Todd McFarlane until you posted the first one. I am loving everything about him! Well done, Tom! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
He's also so right about numbering comics its such a damn headache!
These uploads have been so awesome!
That's funny. Have seen some of those spiders, but never knew he kept a count.
Loving this interview, Tom.
"...like a battleship that weathered the war..." Yes, Todd! Absolutely!
As a 90s kid Todd’s work was a big part of my life. From Spawn, to his artwork style and toys. Love the interview, great to hear insight on such iconic work.

He’s absolutely right about Venom.
Hidden spiders 🤔 he just changed the game again. Wow!!!!
Lol that's funny I never knew where the Image name came from.... best part is I remember that commercial Haha!
Yoooooo now I got to look at all my books thanks todd !!!!
Sooo good! It’s amazing how after so many years in the industry the ToddFather still has a clear vision and respect for the comic book characters, industry and the comic community! And how cool was it to have Todd represent The ComicTom101 Channel! Well done sir!
Good stuff right here I’ve watched every TM video interview ever and never heard him talk about these things in any of them great job Tom
As someone quite new to the comic world these videos and interviews are sooo good
This interview is the best. Hidden secrets and some history behind it. Todd is awesome!
Always give great interview s
You grab them and you run.😂😂🔥
Really enjoyed the insight from Todd this interview is great. Thank you for sharing with us
Hands down my favorite one so far
You have a Honda fit... Nice to see that I'm not the only one that uses that car for what it's meant for
Love hearing the history of his work from the legend himself.... TODDFATHER 🍺
Love hearing the details of origins of stuff. Its too much fun
Love this interview series! Todd is the man and so down to earth! He is an incredible artist and writer as well! So glad I picked up my ASM 316! Can't wait to see what comes next from this man!

Todd is right on point with the issue numbering. So much respect to him, great guy.
This interview is awesome.
I love that Batman cover - hilarious how it's intentionally minimalist! Unbeknownst to me, that's for sure.
Todd is always so on point with his mind on the pulse of his fans. He knows what we want and he gives it to us without any marketing bullshit or gimmicks. He talks to and interacts with his community and is just a really likeable person.

I've absolutely loved seeing these insights into Todd's work and his carreer. I could listen to you guys talking for a days!
DaDaDaDamn Homie Talkin with BOSSES!!🔥🔥😎
Love that this one popped up on my feed 2 years later! Great interview of a legendary artist/creator!
- Gotta say watching this interveiw unfold has been a blast to watch. Gotta give it up Tom, Good shit bro!!!. Todd seems like a str8 up good dude... His stories are classic 🤘
I could listen to Todd tell stories all day long. Podcast plesse. 😁

Adding history on top of history itself. Love it.
Thanks for sharing.
Love the story of Batman 423.
And I'll be searching for those spiders forever more 🔎🕵️♂️🔍
Great Todd father intro👍🏽🔥
I can’t say enough how fragging incredible this interview has been. This part, BY FAR, is the best yet for Todd’s zero effs given 😂😂😂
This is how you know someone has a passion for what they are doing. Todd is 100% a self made man! CT I hope you do other interviews with more comic book creators in the future.
The Name Venom alone was a home run. Great interview Tom.

Perfect timing just got off work n comictom puts out a new video lol
I love Todd. He’s such a trailblazer
Gotta love Todd’s enthusiasm for everything comics
Yes Todd the hell with a million #1s and Volumes.
I now need to go through my collection and play Todd's version of Where's Wally (Where's Spidey!! - all rights reserved)
Todd is so much fun! From his art to his attitude!
I don't want this series to end. Tom you are killing it 👏 I haven't seen the Toddfather this energized in an interview in a while. You're asking all the right questions. I love seeing him heated at Marvel 😆
I love these interviews! Could you have him on every week? LOL
Again, this is the best TODD MCFARLANE interview I've ever seen. He is right about numbering. Higher numbers mean so much to me. Quality is what should sell the book not a new low number.
Lol, love all the insight in this interview! Can't get enough of these.
Todd definitely has some of the best covers of all time. No question about it.
This whole series of interview with Todd rocks!!! :) He is REAL!
I bought the spawn 7 just for that reason love the cool and interesting books
This was so cool to see what drives Todd and how his decisions with tight deadlines still brought out the best in him. A true inspiration right there.
This was a great interview Tom, thanks for sharing the clips. Classic Todd at his best, lettin’ loose!
I love his comment on not renumbering a series. I remember how disappointed I was when DC renumbered for "New 52". At the time I was collecting Detective Comics and had a continuous run from 450-881 and was thinking I would continue to collect until at least issue 1000, then DC screwed it up.

My amazing spiderman 316 is kinda beat up but I love that book and idc if it is. I’m happy I own it. Love this cover as well!
This was great , maybe we should have Todd on here more often, “Nuff Said” thanks Comic Tom101
Todd is class. Humble and self aware.
Another amazing interview-- such an honest and humble dude
Loved this interview. He's got a lot of great points on numbered comics. He's doing well and it makes it easier for the readers.
My favorite Todd cover is the Joe Fixit Grey Hulk where he's pushing aside the brick letters of his title hope I win
I second that!
Just picked up a CGC signed by Todd of that issue 345. Its sweeeet
This is such a cool interview. Todd is making me such a fanboy. I admit, I was tired of him back in the 90's but now I just can't get enough. The man is better than legend!
This is legendary stuff you get here. I love how candid Todd is in interviews. I got some awesome backstory for one of my favourite covers: Batman 423. Love to hear the stories
Wow gotta thank you & your staff for an awesome job on these series of videos you picked the brain of the TODD FATHER for some awesome details great interview your our generations Johnny Carson look forward to next bigdog interview
Really enjoying these Todd interviews. Thanks a lot, Tom!
This series is amazing. I hope it never ends.
This man is amazing!
Didn't know it was possible to love the Toddfather even more
Very interesting video Tom. I really enjoy learning new facts from The Todd Father. His honesty is priceless!!
I agree with Todd on everything from bad guys to multiple volumes of comics. I think I like him even more now. Thanks for this Tom.
Absolutely love this interview great job Tom and company
These are awesome! Todd's passion is contagious I swear lol he makes the coolest shit and has been for decades now
Great interview, Todd is awesome to listen to.
I got Todd's autograph on Spawn #1 comic when I went to a pre-screening of the Spawn movie in Pasadena when I was 14! (around early 1997 I think) I didn't think he would be there, but I brought it just in case.
Could not agree more on the numbering thing!
ALWAYS LOVED TODDS WORK AN AMZING ARTIST
This is an incredible interview. I find Todd's outlook refreshing. I had been out of comics for over 15 years but got back in. I have jumped into Spawn at issue 300. The ride has been amazing. I will be supporting the Spawn Universe.
