Todd McFarlane is suing Al Simmons, his former friend and employee, after whom who he named the secret identity of his character Spawn. And who he then employed to dress up as Spawn and appear at various comic conventions, and launches at his comic store. And its all due to a book that Simmons wrote, The Art[...]

The new record was set[...]

If the company goes down, Rhode Island will be out, with interest, over $110 million. And the reason this is rather relevant?

  Heritage Auctions is selling the original art to the cover of Spider-Man #1 by Todd McFarlane, on behalf of its owner Martin Shamus, father of Wizard Magazine's Gareb and Steven Shamus The cover of Wizard #1 was famously based on this cover It's iconic and probably bsums up nineties comics better than any other It[...]

They're the ones – like Rick Shea over in Florida – who look at something like Saga and see a book that isn't just going to do well with its first issue, or as a monthly series, but as a series of trades that will sell and sell and sell. That Rick had to sit down[...]

Recently, Todd McFarlane came clean – the man credited as writing Spawn for the last couple of years, one Will Carlton, was actually Todd himself. We're heading into the 20th anniversary of Spawn  That'll be issue 220  I'm going to jump on board and do the covers starting with that issue  I'll start doing some goofy[...]

 Because when I think of the work of guys like Todd McFarlane, and say, Stephen Platt, I think of those cratery, that's-no-moon sized moons  And then Geoff Boucher of Hero Complex tweeted about Berni Wrightson, and that's a point too.
