I don't know who still follows the comics. :(

[Spanky2324]

This sucks. I still have a lot of catching up as far as the story goes but this is wrong. Master Chief has brainwashed him.

i admit, i havent been following the comics as much anymore, i just love halo 3 too much:(

I fell out of the comics a while back, but I am suprised this happened.

[Chunk-Style]

They are planning the April Fools joke REALLY early this year. :eek: ;)

[Starfig]

I guess since they won't make the action figures anymore, they may as well not have the comic anymore. :p

I have a really bad feeling we only have 2 Spawn lines left. :(

[jt4470]

They're killing him off, yes.
Only to replace him with a different Spawn.

Unless I'm totally misinterpreting the comics. I haven't read the newer ones.

Spawn's not dead. End of story.

[CGSPAWN]

Al is dead. Spawn is dead.

A joke seemingly coming to fruition.

Well no, it's a comic book, so this is all moot. Spawn is an idea, Al is a former baseball player.

No no. Al Simmons is Spawn. He is dead now. Spawn=dead.

I was being literal, damn you.

The original character's dead, sure, but as long as there's a "Spawn" comic, Spawn's not dead.

The question is whether people will still reading with THE Spawn dead. I have been in and out of the comic on and on, but right now they better make a damn good story line for me to give two ****s about the comic,

I am just upset that the main character through well over 150 issues is dead.

I can liken this somewhat to the clone sage, in that Spider-Man "lives" though Peter Parker is (was) gone. Not the same.

Well I'm on the flipside in that I gave up on the old Spawn a looooong time ago... this has done nothing but reinvigorate the franchise for me. I'm more interested in it now than I have been in close to ten years.

Good for you. Enjoy.

I really doubt I will be going back.

[skubasteve]

I've recently read Spawn from issue 1 to issue 186 and I'm a little confused as to why they didn't try something like this a year ago. But, oh well, as long as they keep printing them I'll keep reading. If Todd continues to pump out statues and he manages to take this new story line somewhere interesting, I'll be content.

You can't argue that much about something and be so blase about it, clearly you still care about the property, otherwise you wouldn't complain....... give it a chance, you might enjoy it. If not, more for me, I suppose... ;)

Well, the Capt. America is dead and Bucky is now Capt. America. Now I don't read the comic, but it's still going, so it works in some cases. And Cap was around a lot longer than Spawn.

I'm not happy about the death, but I'm still reading to see where they go.

No, I ***** now because I officially don't care about the comic anymore. I have made my proclamation. Now prove me wrong TMP.

[rxsheepxr]

An exit is always an entrance to something else.

I try to apply that to comics and it usually works, as long as the comic isn't cancelled outright. Then it's REALLY dead.

That is, of course, until the character gets popular again ten years down the road or needs to be resurrected from obscurity by Brian Michael Bendis to be a non-obvious, unpredictable yet integral part to some giant bull-**** Marvel Event in an attempt to once again shake up and make relevant a franchise that needs not be shaken at all. God damn I hate Marvel.

[Alkatrazzz]

WoW, news to me...

[randysgut]

all i care about is reading about what goes on with al simmons, so now i know what issue to read up to.

[Karnis]

Spawn isn't dead...he's just irrelevant. :eek:
