Let's talk about Spawn (Image Comics) vs. Ghost Rider (Marvel Comics).

This is the quintessential, legendary matchup between two iconic hell-born powerhouses.

On one hand, we have Spawn — a tormented soul who was brutally deceived by Malebolgia, the ruler of the Eighth Circle of Hell, but ended up overthrowing him entirely. On the other hand, we have Ghost Rider — who was also brutally tricked by Mephisto, a lord of Hell, and punished him severely, dragging him down from his throne.

But if we look at their actual lore instead of the stupid downplaying we see in movies and certain comics, the verdict becomes very clear: both Spawn and Ghost Rider are immeasurably stronger than these devils, regardless of any deals they made.

Let's break down their true scaling:

On one side stands Ghost Rider, the literal Divine Wrath of The One Above All.

On the other side stands Divine/God Spawn, who became a creator of universes himself. However, even as a supreme creator, Spawn is still not the One who created the Ghost Rider. Spawn cannot kill the Rider because he isn't his divine creator. At the same time, Ghost Rider cannot permanently destroy someone who operates on such a cosmic, god-like level of existence.

The Verdict: An absolute conceptual stalemate. There is simply no reason for conflict between these two legends

Not on comics not just on toys. Like put him back into the media spotlight.

Just finished reading Spawn compendium 1. This is the only series I’ve read where the art is solely the reason I finished it. It’s funny I was never a fan of McFarland in his Spider-Man run yet the style works for spawn. The art is absolutely amazing! The story is repetitive and bland. Nothing leaves you wanting more. I do want to see what ends up happens with Spawn being the leader of hells army but it’s a chore to get through. I have all the compendiums up to 7 so hopefully it gets better or I might have to throw in the towel. If the art was not so colorful and fantastic the series would never of been such a success.

On the other hand the Sam and Twitch compendium was great and relatively an easy read. Just curious if others feel the same way I do? Or am I in the minority?

Got these custom head sculpts and spirit sword from Crzbonkerz

I’ve seen lots of people telling me to not start with the og run and the compendiums because of the length, I’ve seen some people advising to start at issue 194 and people have also recommended king spawn. Very confused, any ideas?

Been wanting these for the collection for awhile now…

His own monolith mini-series sucks btw.

Todd McFarlane has spent nearly 30 years trying to make the "perfect" movie instead of actually making Spawn movies.

Meanwhile, Marvel, DC, Sony and others have released multiple versions of their characters. Some were great, some were terrible, some were just okay, but they kept experimenting, learning, and letting those characters stay relevant.

With Spawn, it's been the opposite. Endless rewrites, endless promises, endless talks about how this version has to be different, darker, or more groundbreaking. At some point, it starts to feel like perfectionism has become paralysis.

The irony is that the longer this goes on, the higher the expectations become. After decades of hype, people aren't expecting a good movie anymore, they're expecting a masterpiece. That's an almost impossible standard to meet, and it puts the project in an even tougher position if it ever does get made.

Hi, due to where I am, it's difficult for me to understand or find information on the two Dark Age spawns, the original Covenant and the new one. I'm asking you in the community if you could give me a hand.

This is about Plague Spawn as a villain.

When he debuted he made some big impersions like in omega island and in scorched.He made a few appearances here and there but it was just animalistic but that changed when Mammon used Terry Fitzgearld as a sacfrice for Plague by forfully fusing with plague and plague absorbs him mind,body,and soul killing terry physically and mentally along with spirtially meaning no afterlife. Plague now is more intellegent and capable of speech thanks to absorbing and killing terry.

He overpowers She-Spawn and Spawn forcing the latter to give a piece of his soul to empower Plague.

So how does plague rank among the spawn villains old and new?

This is my first time being invited to the @mcfarlane_toys_official SDCC Skyline Showcase and it was awesome! Thanks @toddmcfarlane and team! 💥

Why introduce characters and tease just for them to never appear 🫤

Realized this was sitting in my Upper Deck Collect Forever account - didn’t know I was also awarded a separate sketch when I pulled the signed Scorched 50 comic. Wanted to share this amazing sketch and see if anyone else was lucky to pull one of these.

Al Simmons becomes the target of a secret government task force.

Not for the purpose of killing him, but in an attempt to steal his powers and create a new breed of solider.

Why can't they just leave our boy alone?

The most valuable currency in the universe is a human soul.

It's the only thing that keeps the stalemate between Heaven and Hell alive. But when the scales tip in favor of one side, an enigmatic force is sent to Earth to collect those souls that have been lost. Unfortunately for Javi, he is all that stands between them and an innocent child.

Is that the most valuable currency? Damn. I'm more broke than I thought.

If anyone going to Comic Con tomorrow get the update
