Todd McFarlane explains Spawn's Universe! (Podcast)

[@TheGreatDevlin]

We are one Alan Moore or Grant Morrison interview away from Sal being the GOAT of comic interviews. Sal, find a cave or some peyote and make it happen!!

[@robertwild9447]

Don't forget kevin smith!

[@batsight1]

He needs to find Hemp to summom those guys

[@antdujar]

Truly

[@creed8712]

I wonder if Alan is aware of Salan Moore

[@austinmeghu]

Alan Moore would be a shit guest. But a Neil Gaiman interview? That would be amazing.

[@Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

*Sal:* "You wanna see me get a legendary creator? You wanna see me do it again?"

[@sogoma7797]

Sal trying not to laugh when Todd cleans his camera with his finger😂

[@TevyaSmolka]

Ooh Todd McFarline on elseworld exchange this is truly a great year for comic pop.

[@TevyaSmolka]

@@overlord6993 true and you're right about that

[@Sicod79]

It's nice to see Sal talking with creators like Todd McFarlane. It's almost like you should watch the video because you get some behind the scenes stuff in the comic industry!

[@PhsycoRed]

The man, The myth, The Legend !!! THE MOTHER F'N TODD-FATHER!!!

[@Martin_TheCollector]

What an excellent interview. I'm not the biggest Spawn fan but it's wonderful to know Todd is very knowledgeable and not aiming to milk readers, just like the Big 2 tend to do. Or the companies who own them wasting big bucks on some very mediocre flicks and shows. The publishing side deserves far more support.

[@dlvnmedia]

Honestly at that 2.99 price point I am considering adding Spawn back to my reading list - honestly what Todd gives to every project he works on at duck a low price point is amazing. The DC figures he does are amazing - I have 7 or 8 at least and am looking for a few others. I have a new found respect for Todd as a person these days thanks mainly to Sal.

[@OtakuGarazza]

I love Todd's proud dad shirt, makes me love the man even more

[@austinf7201]

I've never bought a Todd comic or product but I loved hearing him talk about value for money and caring about the consumer, and just giving a shit. Or at least, pretending to give a shit. It's really wholesome and refreshing. Just wish I were more into spawn.

[@gageboan3961]

Todd McFarland is comic book's favorite encouraging uncle

[@krustian9272]

Everything Todd has said about Spawn Universe make me feel very excited, i cant wait to read it

[@astitvasrivastava2821]

Hell yeah....the one and only McFarlane....Sal with one banger creator interview after another

[@ItsOver9000Productions]

Todd is always entertaining on this show. I feel so motivated to start an empire everytime hes on

[@antdujar]

Man, Todd back on comic pop again! Sal is always crushing with these interviews!

[@manuelortiz3039]

Starting to see why Sal said that he believes Todd is the new Stan Lee.

[@rivwilson9330]

I just noticed the TODDTalks on the thumbnail. Gold.

[@HollowGolem]

It's telling how many creators are repeat guests. Sal's so good at turning an "interview" into a natural conversation. Sal is like the James Lipton of comics.

[@Draliseth]

Now he just needs to write a catchy children's cartoon theme.

[@Jokesama]

Todd seems like a genuine awesome guy. As always Sal this was an awesome interview.

[@ivansplvd6518]

It's not only great you have Todd but it also served its purpose since I had forgotten about this new Spawnverse and now will be pick them up

[@prestonyates8003]

A great interview as always!

[@robertwild9447]

The most ambitious crossover of 2021 thus far!

[@accidentalmadness1708]

I love Todd throwing shade at the big 2

[@anthonywoodham3311]

I really appreciate his business mindset and really wish the big two did the same thing. $2.99 is way more affordable and reasonable.

[@SSScalz]

You know you've made it, when you're interviewing one of the best. Congratulations Sal!!!

[@MrZaku-rh4qt]

This interview is a blast, todd definitely learned from experience, thanks todd

[@sarahferris7892]

The Toddfather hath returned!

[@ATroknya]

Todd may not be my favorite artist or writer, but I have so much respect for him as a creator and businessman in the industry. I think he's one of the best ambassadors for comic books since Stan Lee.

[@anthonywoodham3311]

I love these creator interviews.

[@josenieves7514]

I do "enjoy" his dialogue on the comics biz aside from the Spawn Universe talk....Another great one, Sal...

[@noobovsky420]

I’m thinking Donny Cates might be on gunslinger.

[@etherd]

Thanks for this content. Im not big into buying comic books but I think I will pick up these spawn books when they come out. I always respected Todd and he made great points such as the 1 dollar increase over 30 years.

[@gageboan3961]

Just in case anyone asks, elsewhere exchange is where I get the best recommends for kick starters and independent work (if you consider image inde). Main point thank you for having him on, if not I would've missed this book in my pull

[@HAST0408]

The Spawn movie is the most important thing that can help to further the series at this point. It needs to happen and it needs to be done right. Can you imagine a Spawn film at the same caliber as Sin City?

[@austinf7201]

Damn, Todd coming in with the life advice again! What a great way to end the episode!

[@patricklawson]

Wow Sal you get the best guess.

[@redflag4255]

I'm lovimg shespawn! Keep it coming

[@DCPatrol]

No need to lead an interview with Todd. The man covers it all in his own time.

[@sogoma7797]

I want someone to love me like Todd loves Spawn

[@55vicious55]

2 legends !

[@thedonofthsht76-58]

He doesn't expect us to but them all?? Pshhhh I'm all over them! Lol

[@websurferblue]

Want to see him go against Omni man

[@kanborne]

love the shirt Todd!!

[@johnnydi2203]

I love listening to Todd talk. Or rather, teach. He makes it sound so obvious though. He has a thought process you can track. I'm honestly surprised he hasn't convinced anyone to fund his Spawn movie yet. He's very convincing.

[@redflag4255]

Todd Jessica Priest has a lot of potential in todays climate. You are writing her perfectly. I love how independent she is. She can be your wolverine for sure. The universe figure is bomb too!

[@mojoclaudius6710]

With love and respect...I like how Todd likes to harp on keeping books at $2.99 and drops Spawns Universe for $5.99 with 6+ variants...the week after Venom200 kicked our ass at $9.99...COME ON...oh I dont have to buy them all?...ya like that's gana happen!

[@9148H2]

Back in the 90's Spawn was one of those entertainment mediums that helped pose a philosophical question in my mind that just kept growing in my teenage and adult years. And that question was if there is a God and a Devil what if it's not Good Vs Evil. What if it's just Evil vs Evil, and that is what spawn was with the conflict of heaven and hell. Spawn, Legacy of Kain, and early Nine Inch Nails helped pose that gnostic question in my head that just kept growing over time. What if God actually is evil? Todd needs to go back to that dark atmosphere with horror themes and gnostic philosophical questions. I hate the Super Hero approach he's going with Spawn. Spawn works best as part horror, part fantasy, part noir, and part philosophy. He needs to make his HellSpawns gross again with maggots and worms crawling in their rotting bodies. He needs to show more Demons ripping and tearing Humans apart in the Alleys in a horror fashion, and he needs to show something completely messed up on the heaven side to show how monstrous and evil they truly are as well behind closed doors. If he wants to introduce villains that are not part of Heaven or Hell, he should probably introduce fantasy elements instead of goofy supervillain stuff that we've already seen a million times. Todd should treat his universe like it's the World of Darkness equivalent. That would work for something like spawn.

[@Goldmanvision]

Holy shit!!!

[@yajirobi6207]

Sal!! Sal!! THE G.O.A.T.💯🔥🔥🔥 FREAKIN TODD McFARLAND Sal!?!? Tha fuuuuk!?!?!👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@ferchocolocholoco]

McFarleneverse

[@Adam_K14]

If a Spawn flim ever comes out again the one n only M. Jah white still can play him He's still kicking around like its the 90s

[@MADBD619]

Just how much bigger can it get anyway?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!

[@SLouiss]

Woaaah!

[@catlawyerwilldefendfortrea6038]

oh yeah!!

[@nlnrose]

I really, really wish I liked spawn. I'd buy the heck out of this book if I could read any spawn books. I love Todd's art, and his writing is meh, but I just have never meshed with spawn as a character.

[@WestyWJ]

Todd is such a babe

[@stevemartin3706]

MY QUESTION IS. Why did it take so long for him to do this. McFarlane should of made SPAWN'S UNIVERSE bigger back in the 90'S. Back when SPAWN was the No.#1 COMIC BOOK character.

[@noobovsky420]

He was busy with making his toy company successful. Busy raising multiple children. Money. Time. Planning. Timing. Pick one

[@josenieves7514]

I'm kinda guessing he didn't want to "saturate" the Spawn brand and focus on branding the character alá Spidr-Man, Mickey Mouse, Starbucks...

[@anthonymarciano6050]

Oh yeah, I forgot about this channel

[@jonathanherron2124]

✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾🤘🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾✊🏾 I personally can't wait for the new Spawn movie I'm just a little nervous about Jamie Foxx it's not because I don't think he's a great actor or anything like that I just I don't know I feel like honestly they should have got the original actor what's his name Michael Jai White he should have did it again he's a way better actor than he was then and he know what he's doing like but I also know that he hated the spawn suit so there's that 😂😂😂

[@kamehax]

hahahaha Todd i am sorry Pal but you are asking the guy to surpass what you have done in 30 Years not an easy task hahahahaha but kudos to your team if they impress you still
