Todd McFarlane Does A Great Brian Bendis Impression These Days

Once upon a time, Brian Bendis used to write Todd McFarlane Spawn spinoff comicbooks. Then Bendis took the job writing Ultimate Spider-Man and McFarlane dumped him quick.

But a piece of him seemed to stay, no more so than in today's Spawn #245. Where we have dialogue scenes with stat backgrounds and fixed "cameras" around a table.

Or the jibber-jabber in and out of speech balloons.

I quite like it, actually.
