Todd Reflects on His Most Iconic Comic Covers & The Origins of Image Comics // Interview Part 5

[@GemMintCollectibles]

Todd went in on this one lol

[@austinmitchell8367]

What's up Gem.

[@HomeGrownComics]

Straight up heated at marvel

[@GemMintCollectibles]

@@HomeGrownComics lol he’s not understanding their moves. I like his thought process.

[@charlespatrick3101]

Droppin F-bombs!

[@turtleanton6539]

Right !

[@aram5127]

As new reader of Spawn, I do appreciate that there has never been a renumbering of issues. That little detail makes a huge difference!

[@benjaminrasa8285]

batman 423 ..."deadline"... haha, so simple, so awesome! love it.

[@DiscoveryBayComics]

“I’ll put a #1 on every issue”-Todd 😂

[@joffrecastro1783]

Also the idea that they created image comic is by looking at a video that say imagine is everything that is totally awesome.

[@silveragesurfer_COMICS]

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. 👍👍

[@disenfranchisedver1tech598]

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.

[@bladerj]

didnt he reboot it a year ago ?

[@sawboss5794]

​@@bladerji think they've "remastered" some issues but i don't think it was a reboot. (I could be wrong.)

[@bat2275]

You should interview Rob Liefeld next and ask him about drawing feet and his Captain America drawing.

[@roywatson7916]

I've always loved Todd's work, along with Jim Lee's. I got to get that Batman cover. Great interview.

[@mikeg4490]

I love Todd's energy. I feel like he doesn't get enough credit for having one of these best personalities in the business

[@thomashead560]

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 👌 🙌 😌 😊

[@markmmm667]

Love the story behind the cover of Batman 423. Guess the old adage, "Less is More" is accurate.

[@erictate1281]

He's also so right about numbering comics its such a damn headache!

[@COHStarSlammer]

Todd is the man. That number rant? DEAD ON. Great content Tom as always...

[@joeyxsolo]

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! 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@Andrew.W.19]

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.

[@thomasmauritsen687]

Loving the insights, Todd's given me some more Toddfather keys to hunt for...

[@ericriggsbee]

That so funny. When I’m looking good and my wife says “hey” I say, “image is everything” just like the commercial.

[@rudyrivera3174]

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🤞🏻👍🏽

[@bradarnold2652]

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.

[@big90sspec9]

That's funny. Have seen some of those spiders, but never knew he kept a count. Loving this interview, Tom.

[@luiscreatingart8239]

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!

[@Nonlefttogo]

These uploads have been so awesome!

[@mjholthaus]

"...like a battleship that weathered the war..." Yes, Todd! Absolutely!

[@michaelmincey301]

Todd is right on point with the issue numbering. So much respect to him, great guy.

[@mattgoodridge211]

As someone quite new to the comic world these videos and interviews are sooo good

[@Quietstorm3333]

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

[@Keyser-s0ze361]

This interview is the best. Hidden secrets and some history behind it. Todd is awesome!

[@turtleanton6539]

Always give great interview s

[@charlesjohnson3287]

Love that this one popped up on my feed 2 years later! Great interview of a legendary artist/creator!

[@rafe496]

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.

[@gregmcphersonii5477]

He’s absolutely right about Venom.

[@sade281]

Yoooooo now I got to look at all my books thanks todd !!!!

[@brandonkief3278]

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!

[@SBAVoltronProdt]

Love hearing the details of origins of stuff. Its too much fun

[@jaydedragoncomicsandgames8109]

Really enjoyed the insight from Todd this interview is great. Thank you for sharing with us

[@VishvaComics]

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.

[@xXCigarXx]

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.

[@EvilErnie6t9]

Lol that's funny I never knew where the Image name came from.... best part is I remember that commercial Haha!

[@kiquegonzalez8858]

Hands down my favorite one so far

[@ratedrawr1411]

- 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 🤘

[@DanielSchmidt2099]

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

[@maskedsnow2324]

Hidden spiders 🤔 he just changed the game again. Wow!!!!

[@aqueminiarts]

I've absolutely loved seeing these insights into Todd's work and his carreer. I could listen to you guys talking for a days!

[@AshbalGabriel]

Very cool interviews. Todd is such a great talker, thank you for sharing these with us !

[@schwinnbike18]

This interview is awesome. I love that Batman cover - hilarious how it's intentionally minimalist! Unbeknownst to me, that's for sure.

[@MattMatt77]

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

[@walterroux291]

Adding history on top of history itself. Love it. Thanks for sharing.

[@walterroux291]

Love the story of Batman 423. And I'll be searching for those spiders forever more 🔎🕵️‍♂️🔍

[@hiddenoni5168]

Perfect timing just got off work n comictom puts out a new video lol

[@ryanhaislip3653]

Awesome interview!!

[@williamsantana6594]

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.

[@PrimeTimeTreasureHunter]

I love these interviews! Could you have him on every week? LOL

[@mysteriosquack5704]

Enjoying the interview so much. I could listen to him talk for hours!

[@gregparks1785]

Great interview, Todd is awesome to listen to.

[@killa7kosko893]

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 🐐🐐🐐🐐

[@albekevin]

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

[@theretrosavage]

Love hearing the history of his work from the legend himself.... TODDFATHER 🍺

[@rp8936]

Love these interviews, Tom.

[@nathanielmcdonough4288]

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.

[@brandonpadgett2403]

Hoping there's more because these have been pretty great!

[@GobelZachuration11]

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.

[@robertzeleznik8124]

The Name Venom alone was a home run. Great interview Tom.

[@jasonw3479]

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.

[@WalkerJoe23]

I could listen to Todd tell stories all day long. Podcast plesse. 😁

[@Solid_Teleport]

Awesome insights and interesting secrets revealed- Great Interview !

[@oldskoolplaya7181]

This was a great interview Tom, thanks for sharing the clips. Classic Todd at his best, lettin’ loose!

[@kaser81699]

Hell yeah, 😂 this was a great vid Paul can't wait for the next two vids

[@TheDoctorgate]

Another amazing interview-- such an honest and humble dude

[@Boomboy53]

I love Todd. He’s such a trailblazer

[@joeholland4960]

Love these interviews!

[@Akstergrind]

Really enjoying these Todd interviews. Thanks a lot, Tom!

[@mormorgranat]

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

[@chiarencolin]

This whole series of interview with Todd rocks!!! :) He is REAL!

[@bigmikescomicsandtoys762]

Tom bringing some great content Great interview

[@halfdrawnpe]

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.

[@thedonofthsht76-58]

These are awesome! Todd's passion is contagious I swear lol he makes the coolest shit and has been for decades now

[@olegtherussianbear991]

Very interesting video Tom. I really enjoy learning new facts from The Todd Father. His honesty is priceless!!

[@slimthumbtak]

This series is amazing. I hope it never ends.

[@HomeGrownComics]

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 😆

[@purplerain225]

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.

[@TheMakina285]

Absolutely love this interview great job Tom and company

[@nicholasdsilva5273]

Awesome interview I love sit downs with Todd and what great revel of hidden gems

[@tmargosian]

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!

[@mikeystrikes7203]

Gotta love Todd’s enthusiasm for everything comics

[@Bam123412]

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.

[@drink2mny]

The insight given in these videos are awesome. Thanks for doing those.

[@maskedsnow2324]

You grab them and you run.😂😂🔥

[@brickupdate]

Incredible interview.

[@chriscarbone5494]

Once again great interview

[@robertmartinez2119]

New to your channel and love the channel. Super informative just joined you mail call and getting super excited to be collecting books again.

[@garybthecasualcomicguy5136]

Another great interview with fantastic insight to the industry.

[@philayling4398]

ALWAYS LOVED TODDS WORK AN AMZING ARTIST

[@oliverortiz8507]

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.

[@NHComics]

I love the inspiration of naming characters

[@damionrussell4309]

What a legend!! loved this interview with todd👏👏

[@ramseyVScomics]

Todd is so much fun! From his art to his attitude!

[@edghelardini9619]

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.

[@CosmicRobb]

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 😂😂😂

[@duanecernousek4663]

Man, I'm enjoying this interview

[@williambethea8703]

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.

[@MVPComicsUSA]

This was great , maybe we should have Todd on here more often, “Nuff Said” thanks Comic Tom101

[@charlielarson2407]

If you do that you should do your artwork inside of the number one and then on the back of the comic with the reverse artwork like looking through a mirror the opposite way
