Todd McFarlane Speaks His Mind

imageTodd McFarlane held forth on various subjects at a recent event for a local Arizona newspaper. He talked about such odd topics as doing a comic strip, the diversity of choices in the market right now, why trades are more successful with some audiences than standard comic books, and recalibrating the Spawn character in the movies, cartoons and the comics to reflect his specific interest in that kind of material these days. His digression on not letting ancillary products drive his movie version is interesting -- it's not really noble unless you accept some really bizarre standards to begin with -- but it does remind one of how much moves are driven by the need for things like toys, and how early people begin to think in those terms.
