What is with all these interviews?? ComicPop’s been knocking it out of the park lately

[@landonny]

Lowkey has been the status quo since 2014

[@LeonardoSilva-xm8ft]

Right??

[@rubbershark3833]

Sal's got that secret sauce

[@shreyanshdas7481]

Editorial mandate

[@ghanikhan2679]

McFarlane’s Spawn was what got me into comics, Sal is what has kept me into comics. Love seeing these two chat

[@bensneb360]

Watch Sal interview Todd McFarland is like watching your favorite football team win the Super Bowl, like “they made it!!!! Whooo!!!!”, I’m so happy for Sal, great episode

[@HollowGolem]

Always great to hear how excited Todd is about whatever he's doing. I aspire to that level of passion.

[@wtfrocks8663]

Holy Shit! You aren't talking about Todd McFarlane, You're talking TO him. Way to go Sal. And, thanks to Todd for taking the time to talk to Sal.

[@Hulkzilla0]

I loved the point Todd made about relaunches. For me, it's a bit harder to read long running books (or characters' chronologies) when they keep relaunching their titles. I know trade paperbacks and epic collections help to keep things in order for easier reading, but it's still kind of a hassle.

[@mementomori771]

ToddFather!!! Love the energy he brings to these hes a inspirational guy

[@umademecomment]

Love spawn & i love even more that his creator is still playing a pivotal role in his creation

[@YungPinoy]

Not a Spawn fan but it’s always cool to hear Todd talk. Man is business savvy and is motivational. Also as Sal has said multiple times in the past ‘Spawn is dope af’.

[@dlvnmedia]

Todd is always one off the best interviews full of interesting insight and thoughts- in a way he reminds me of shooter ( the good parts and not the problems everyone cites - let’s remember how prescient he was in seeing what the upcoming trends and failures would. Be in comics and tried his damndest to keep Valiant Comics from falling into that trap in thier original incarnation) Sal these creator interviews are so fun - I’m really glad you are still doing them as they are one of the best free schools for learning about how to get into the comics industry out there

[@shadowanderson2004]

I think comic movies are going to go one of 2 ways. 1 straight up adaptations, or (and what’s more likely) 2 they steal the predator 1 & 2 formula it’s Se7en but Batman’s in it, it’s good bad and the ugly but Wolverine is in it, it’s a slasher film but Spawns the slasher

[@jzba22]

A bit disappointed Todd doesn't start off every interview with: "y'know the darkness has all kinds of fucked up shit inside it..."

[@AntonioExists]

I was JUST starting to read Spawn yesterday and then this came out! Love the interviews lately Sal!

[@owensreviews625]

Managed to get The ToddFather himself. Bravo Sal.

[@SamuelSummers5]

King Spawn and Gunslinger Spawn are two of my favorite independent comics and the fact that it's only $2.99 I have to support it.

[@treelover420xx]

What a legend an having sal interviewing him is even the cherry on top I love sal an Todd's one on ones

[@mrboonejr29]

Already know this is gonna be a great episode Sal.

[@PHEONIX_720]

Another exciting interview. Love Todd's thoughts on the industry. Thanks Sal for getting another great guest.

[@therealmegabros]

Awesome interview, thanx as usual !!

[@odinjohnson6899]

Love all these interviews

[@FrozenLavaDragonProd]

Great to see Todd again! It is such good timing I was just watching your previous interviews with him this week!

[@mattulence]

Dave Sim is a benchmark for most issues written for sure.

[@PowerPilgrim]

I wish half of the industry higher ups and suits were as focused and passionate as Todd is.

[@panduh_go_crazy-.-9957]

Gunslinger spawn is the reason I’m reading spawn today it’s such An amazing book about an underdog who’s always underestimated

[@babsthewreckingcrew4294]

Todd should consider a narration voice role in the movie 👀 that description of gs future was so vivid

[@I_sherriFF]

Thumbs up to every interview on the best channel

[@williamceyrolles4914]

I think Larry Hama on G.I.Joe and Dave Sim on Cerebus still have Todd beat out

[@bretts7072]

Awesome interview! Todd always has great perspectives

[@slipperyswoogz3347]

A dmc styled spawn game would be amazing

[@jackmacmahon417]

Fantastic intro snippet I love Todd he’s so cool

[@dageekynerd2898]

Extraction 1 & 2 only thing that comes to mind for me.

[@TevyaSmolka]

I loved this so much this was awesome great chat Sal with Todd McFarlane

[@WhatIsItAboutThem]

This made me fall in love with McFarlane. I'll def get some of those new books!

[@Swamp-Bat]

Todd is spot on with his movie predictions. Really hoping the Spawn movie is successful.

[@mattl5046]

This was great! It’s cool to see the channel continue to get big-name creators for interviews. It was cool to see Todd being super casual and just stoked about making cool comics and cool toys!

[@spheremode3271]

Oh my goodness! I was listening on my earphones and skipped to this video without looking, and it pleasently surprised me to hear you were able to get the man the myth the legend himself on the show! Good job, Sal!

[@Ducaso]

Great interview with industry legend!

[@user-is6cs2nu5s]

Been ready spawn since day one .now am passing it down to my God kids.and man do they love it.

[@damiandawson7610]

Much love! Thankful for these interviews

[@rayumbo]

Okay but seriously super hero’s in the comics got fatigued and just kinda ran its course in the 90’s, and Spawn came out and bought people back in, what if the Spawn movie truly revives the genre.

[@andresirizarry503]

This is AMAZING!!! I'm loving all these creator interviews, keep it up Sal!!!

[@mitchellregan21]

Cool to see Todd back on the channel

[@kolynturnbow5792]

I really hope I get to meet todd mcfarlane I want to just say thank you and have him sign my spawn number 1

[@GohanYuki]

His blue balls - todd mcfarlane

[@GohanYuki]

I really enjoyed todd talking about why he likes gunslinger spawn and gave us details about the character ive seen the character before just from a cover… is 350 a good jumping on point? Or if im mainly interested in gunslinger read his book… i like the dynamic of normal spawn getting helped by gunslinger just so he can be sent back to the past

[@NicholasRHunn]

Why didn't you ask him when we're getting that next Harry Houdini appearance Sal, my king of Culture?

[@comicpopreturns]

Because that's not my name.

[@cubencis]

Happy birthday spawn

[@anthonycarlisle6184]

5:32 Idk Todd "disappeared" from Spawn between issues 151-299🤷covers don't count lol Once Capullo left the "magic" left for me as a kid back then, it's only been since issue #300 it started to have an expansive, cohesive, logical storyline that's easier to follow & get into...the magic resurfaces at times.

[@KirbySans]

A good listen

[@jonnichols4663]

Love this

[@thegamingtreestump1872]

Can someone count how many times Todd mentioned money and business?

[@flywheelshyster]

It's cool haha. He's kinda like Zack Snyder in that regard. But I should continue listening

[@TenThirteen2014]

Yay

[@bierguy3033]

Comment for algorithm.

[@zichrirasmus4179]

First 🎉

[@jessejames1928]

Got Spawn 350!
