Is that David Seville?

I'd buy a figure of him............

Spawn 30 doesn't bother me (for a line or two)

But I'm sure Todd's idea of 'pop culture', much like Necca's idea of a 'cult classic', will have nothing to do with any stuff I'm into~

I LOVE IT!

Anybody who says this isn't a cool avenue for spawn, just plain doesn't have KIDS!

I finally get to see MY favorite comic character come to life SATURDAY MORNING STYLE! (and w/o worrying about scenes that my 6, 7, & 8 yr olds shouldn't see)

It's not what we all grew to love about spawn.....yet! But I hope people give it a chance, for thier kids (or future kids) sake.

I don't know about the rest of ya, but I'd like spawn to remain a pillar in the comic industry. This is just another demographic.

I mean c'mon. Not everybody dug Spiderman and his amazing friends........but it's still playing, and my kids watch.

Title's a little hokey.....but, eh.....wtf!?

Oh and Drau..... I may be wrong..... but that IS the 10th incarnation of spawn, so really it's only fitting.

I am still undecided with the new line of figures, although it is giong to be interesting to see how the online comic pans out (may see if I can atleast print the thing out.

Good point CK. And yes I knew he was the 10th incarnation - just poking some fun [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Hmmm, long ago I did take one of the "Where the Wild Things Are" figures, paint his body black and fill his head full of nails, making the triple-pun "Tzippy the Pin-Head".

But I like the idea of Torture Soul Babies. After all, we grew up watching Hogan's Heroes with those zany Nazis, why not the next generation seeing Spawn cartoons with wacky Demons? [img]wink.gif[/img]

I wouldn't be surprised if there aren't already Tourtured Soul Babies on evilbay...

Ok, so it's good for kids to have a hero spawned by the Overlord of Hell?

Sorry, but I know people with kids 8 years old that they won't even let touch a Spawn comic because of the adult subject matter.

I have no problem at all with this stuff being available for adults and older kids, but I just can't see them being able to water it down enough for little kids.

Why does Red Foreman Come to mind at this moment?
Oh ya, " Don't be a dumbass"

If you go through the "online comic", it's essentially spawn.....but not.

lest we forget, that it's more important to shield our children from mortality, than to allow them to believe that if they 'don a cape...they might be able to fly from the roof of the garage!
Or maybe.....there's a far away galaxy where.....people make out with their sisters!

Give it a read, it just might suprise you at how "saturday morning" it actually feels.

I read it after I posted, and while it IS dumbed down for the kiddies, it's nothing like Spawn at all, other then the costume.

It sounded more like a Gi-Joe or Max Steel story.
