Spawn

I stopped reading it at around issue 30, are they still making issues? I remember seeing issue 100 a few years ago and thumbing through it, didn't look overly interesting at the time.

So are they still making new issues if yes is it any good? For anyone who continued on with the full run are the issues after #30 any good? Did Wanda ever figure out who he was etc....or is it still dragging on like a poorly written afternoon soap opera?

Yes they are still publishing Spawn. The last issue that shipped was #160 on September 27th.

 

Doubt it's any good. I stopped at issue 50. Couldn't tell you what's going on with the stories.

I've never read Spawm.

I was introduced to him by buying the movie though..

I am, and only will collect those that McFarlane drew/wrote.

But again, have not read those I buy.

It's one of the only titles I truely regret purchasing for so long. I literally should have stopped around 25 (probably even sooner). I purchased all the way into the 110-teens. It just lingered, lingered.

 

Haven't read it since then. I don't look back. I have flipped through it recently. They just don't seem to want to improve the book. Thanks McFarlane!! Probably has to do with being sued huge money over Angela.

What was the big deal with issue 150?

If so many people stopped buying it and think the book is terrible, why is it still being published?

 

What are the sales figures, does anyone know???

Because the toys still make lots of money. I remember when it was a top 3 books fighting it out with the X-Men.

I honestly ask the same question all the time. I don't know how it survives. Doesn't seem like it's on many pull lists here. Probably because many people here know it's not much of a quality book.

 

Have to ask the same question about Image as a whole. Granted, they've had more success lately than they have in years. But losing Fear Agent due to low publishing numbers! DOH. What if they lost Invincible and Walking Dead to Icons? What would they really have? Top Cow has become a joke (also one of the more popular books during the Spawn heyday). It's interesting how books continue to linger while good books fade way too fast. Witchblade is another shocker. They've tried to revitalize it but it hasn't been good since Turner left.

I think Hunter/Killer has been good

Which one? The Mcfarlane cover, the Mcfarlane sketch, the Jim Lee sketch, or the regular edition?

Yeah, I stopped reading around issue #50, and I thought that was bad

I also have about 15 copies of issue #1

[kidcolt]

I would also like to see sales figures or at least print runs for each issue. Anyone know where I could find them?
