I just read something interesting I did not know. This past week at Comicon Marvel announced that they bought the rights to Miracle Man/Marvel Man from Neil Gaiman, Alan Moore, and the other vested parties. 1 who used to be McFarlane until Neil/Moore won the rights back.

What I didn't know was in that same case Gaiman also sued Todd for Midieval Spawn, Angela, and Cogliostro, as creator of the 3 characters. Gaiman initially lost but was granted co-ownership in the case, and eventually Miracle man as well which has been now given to Marvel.

Bottom line that really happened. Gaiman created Midieval Spawn, Angela, and the bumb for McFarlane so Todd wouldn't try to contest ownership of Miracle Man (Which Moore gave to Gaiman). Todd turned tale, and screwed Gaiman, stopped paying royalties trying to say all 3 were his under work for hire (even though he told Gaiman differant) and tried to publish Miracle Man. Gaiman sued, and eventually got rights to all 3 because McFarlane was being a 1st class d*ck.

Ironically the same reason he quit Marvel, he tried to pull on someone else. Poor business, no wonder he blew it with image.

While I'm kinda sad Marvel got Miracle Man, I'm glad it's coming back. Maybe the real Marvel Superman will punch a hole in Sentry's chest.

Neat though I have a new appreciation for Midieval Spawn!

Right unless DC sues since origionally Marvel Man's name was changed to Miriacle Man because of accusations of ripping off Shazam/Capt Marvel.

I don't think they will because I think they are very hesitant to step on Gamain and Moores toes because all the money DC makes off of their properties.

Rumor has it that marvel may even allow DC to use the Captain Marvel name on Shazam books again if DC is cool with this. Miracle Man had potential to be a BIG character, and was really one of the 1st adult oriented anti heroes that are so common today.

I knew about this back then . Why do you think Todd came up with Tiffany as the main angel ? Because he knew he was losing Angela & didn't want to pay royalties . Medieval Spawn became , Dark Ages & he looks

different . I didn't really know about Cog , though .

Here's the way I see things . Gaimen did have a concept of these characters . But without Todd McFarlane putting them on paper & making them look the way they do , the concept is nothing . So I still say Todd's design is what made the characters popular .

But yes , I will agree . Todd McFarlane is an egotistical @$$ for the most part .

I don't disagree at all, but it was a trade off. I honestly don't think Gaiman really cared about the Spawn characters at all. When Todd bought Eclipse Neil knew McFarlane was going to try something so Neil sais "Hey take these back" and let me keep my character. McFarlane did Gaiman dirty, and he lost it all.

It's just stupid

I agree , there is no denying the fact that tod McFarlane runs his business life like a 3 ring circus . What the hell did he pay for that McGwire Baseball , 18 million ? He should have just payed Gaimen that money & kept his Spawn characters . But yeah , the arrogant @$$ that Todd is , he decided to just try & " one up " Gaimen . Of course it blewup in his face .

I mean , he is my favorite artist . But the guy is really an idiot . Even that crap he pulled with Peter David where he came out dressed in that chicken suit .

Go ahead , Feed him ....

I was never a big Spawn reader. I always thought the case was soley about Miracle Man. Had I known Gaiman, Moore, and Morrison, and all these other great writers wrote issues of Spawn I probably would have followed it closer.

I don't know how I missed all that. That was a big time in comics for me.

I think Marvel Man should officially be an IMT EOH WIP now.

Sentry vs Marvel Man will happen in the comics b4 long.

Gaimen's individual book , issue 9 was the best written . Alan Moore did issue 8 , but it wasn't all that great . Dave Simms did issue 10 & Cerebus was in it. I think Alan Moore was supposed to continue writing Spawn for awhile, but of course McFarlane couldn't get along with him & screwed that all up .

Morrison actually did have quite a run on Spawn in the later issues though .

Go ahead , Feed him ....

I was trying tp post the pic but there was an exclusive Spawn/Miracleman 2 pack of figures at Comicon years back. The site most block links though, but I wouldve loved to have nabbed that.

It's on this sit though

I have that 2 pack . I wanted to get the statue also , but it was like $300.00 . I didn't have the extra cash at the time .

Go ahead , Feed him ....

Well anyway I'd like to contribute to M Spawn when the time comes. As lame as it sounds Neil Gaiman changed my world, so bringing any work of his to life is important to me. Definately should have a special intro against Batman since Miller did that story. If Swamp thing would be ever released that would be another good one.

My regular Spawn I wanted to have an intro against Batman . Bat's will throw a the batarang into his face .

There is no denying the fact that I think the guy is amazing . I wouldn't have started drawing again if it wasn't for him , I started sculpting custom figuress because of him & I probably even create mugen characters because of him . There was a point & time in my life that I got out of comics completely . But when i seen Todd's work for the first time , I got right back in .

Go ahead , Feed him ....

It will be nice to have a Spawn in mugen at last. One that is actually half decent anyways.
I won't lie, I like the original Spawn better- But this is kinda cool too, maybe even better.
I think he could use some darker/cooler alternate palettes though, I mean he does kinda look like a flag xD

That is actually his colors in the book . But if you watch the vids on my youtube . One of them has a " black knight " palette .

I am also working on a regular Spawn . That's why everything is taking so long . I keep bouncing back & forth to all the characters I am working on .

Worksa8 · « **Reply #368 on:** August 08, 2009, 04:43:46 PM »

I didn't know you were also working on a normal Spawn, thats cool. I don't doubt you will release something again one of these days, most of the best WIPS are the ones you don't hear anything of for a while xD (Or they are the ones that get scratched >.>)

I remember way back when you first joined the forums btw Talbain, it's great you have accomplished so much since then. Keep it up.

Just look at my avatar . Those are all my WIPs . Although Violator is going to take forever since I am spriting him from scratch .

Yeah some time has passed since I joined this forum . It's crazy when I think of how long ago it actually was , but it still only seems like yesterday . I plan on being around for awhile longer too ...

Medieval Spawn is about 60% done. If I would quit taking on other projects he would be finished by now...

Modern day Spawn is basically ER's . I gotpermission from ER to finish his. So I revamped the look to give it my twist & am giving him moves . Once Medieval comes out regular Spawn should soon follow .

Now Violator will be the last one. He's about at 2% right now. He's going to take the longest since I am using no base & just spriting him from scratch. this is the first character I am doing this with. So he will either be absolutely amazing & original , or a total bust. I hope he turns out well.

Is that from the SNES game ? I just don't really like the way those sprites looks so I didn't want to use them .
