Spawn (Simmons)
Character » Spawn (Simmons) appears in 1430 issues.
A highly trained assassin, murdered by his employer and former friend Chapel. Albert ''Al'' Francis Simmons sold his soul to Malebolgia, one of the many rulers of the Hell, in order to see his wife Wanda Blake again. Malebolgia had other things in mind for Al and sent him back to earth with no memory as a Hellspawn, one of his soldiers, to do his bidding. After realizing what he had lost, Al swore revenge, and became the vigilante known as Spawn.
who liked the spawn hbo cartoon?
i was like 9 when it came out so my mom wouldn't let me watch it knowing about spawn but i have read some of the comics and i wanted to know how close is the cartoon to the comics?and if it was worth the time of watching it?
I didn't read the comics passed issue 5 or something but the animated version is awesome. Definitely worth watching. I think it's pretty close to the comics, not 100% sure though.
I thought it was outstanding, except for the parts where McFarlane would do his weak Rod Serling impersonation before each episode as an introduction.
I'd like to see The Boys translated to an HBO toon like Spawn was.
I thought it was pretty good, but used a little to much repeated stock animation. For example, scenes with extensive dialogue would cut away to shots of the chains rattling around in forward and reverse.
Really dig the animated series. A great medium for Spawn outside of the comic books; way better than the live-action movie (which was enjoyable entirely on its own, but all kinds of cheese).
