[00:00:00] Speaker A: Get up.
[00:00:01] Speaker B: Because you're going to show me what's inside that warehouse and what it means. Then you're going to tell me everything I need about Exodus. And then when I'm done, you'll go back to your bosses and lie to them.
[00:00:13] Speaker A: Tell them you won.
[00:00:15] Speaker B: Maybe then they won't kill you.
[00:00:25] Speaker A: San to the Malbolge. This is regarding Spawn, the world's best spawn podcast and most humblest.
[00:00:58] Speaker B: I'm your co host, John Fisher.
[00:01:03] Speaker C: And I'm your co host, David Williams, which I guess means that I'm the braggart, and you won't believe the good shit I've got that you don't have. No, that feels very weird. I just scared the shit out of a dog doing that. I did that fist slammed on my other hand thing.
[00:01:23] Speaker A: Oh.
[00:01:24] Speaker B: And the dog was like, don't.
[00:01:25] Speaker C: Like, no, no. The dog's in a bag around my.
Where were we?
[00:01:36] Speaker A: Oh, hey.
[00:01:37] Speaker B: Yeah, hi.
[00:01:37] Speaker C: I'm David Williams. I'm your co host.
[00:01:39] Speaker B: Yeah, I threw it off. I threw it off because I said just, I always wonder if people realize that the world's best spawn podcast thing is like, I mean, it's not a joke. I think we probably are, but we said it.
[00:01:53] Speaker C: I enjoy the shit out of it.
[00:01:54] Speaker B: But it's kind of a joke also, because the joke is that there's not really a lot of spawn podcast guys.
You know why? Because people don't know how good spawn is, Johnny.
[00:02:06] Speaker C: That's not so much of a joke as just Goldarn Travis.
[00:02:11] Speaker A: It is.
[00:02:11] Speaker B: I wish there were more. I want one that's like, I want more swamp. The reason we started this and the reason I'm being so reflective, I guess a way to come about to it.
[00:02:23] Speaker A: This is our 52nd episode, so that means it's been one year since we.
[00:02:29] Speaker B: Started this journey, and I was just reflecting on and just thinking about.
[00:02:34] Speaker A: How.
[00:02:35] Speaker B: We got here and what a journey and kind of how crazy it's been and the people we've met along the way and just been a wild year, and it's only the first year of many.
[00:02:45] Speaker C: If each of these episodes had been a card and a deck of cards, this would be the last one. This would be, I guess. Would this be our ace of Spades episode? If it's the last one, hopefully.
[00:02:58] Speaker A: Ace of spades. The ace of spades.
[00:03:01] Speaker B: Hopefully it's our ace of spades.
[00:03:06] Speaker C: We'll resurrect Lemmy from the dead and have to be like, okay, Lemmy, you're going to be on this episode, but you can't talk about your fucking collection of.
He was a. He was a collector of nazi memorabilia.
[00:03:20] Speaker B: Hey, Pete Townsend had a bunch of child pornography at his.
It was.
[00:03:30] Speaker C: It's hard to get worse than nazi memorabilia, John.
[00:03:33] Speaker B: Yeah, well, he didn't go to jail. It was art that was maybe considered that. That he got to research a book because he was abused. I don't know, but it happened.
[00:03:45] Speaker C: That sounds like he's currently in prison and wrote himself a book called the question of death.
[00:03:50] Speaker B: Oh, no.
[00:03:54] Speaker C: That needs to not be a callback. I'm going to cut that off right now.
[00:03:58] Speaker B: Call back to John Wayne Gacy from last episode.
[00:04:01] Speaker C: No more from me. If Johnny does the callback, that's fine, but I can't make that be my thing.
[00:04:08] Speaker B: You just call back John Wayne Gacy all the time.
[00:04:12] Speaker C: Well, if you remember, Pogo was at my birthday party that one year, right?
[00:04:16] Speaker B: Oh, no. I mean. Hey.
[00:04:18] Speaker C: Okay, quit it. Quit. Dog fashion disco does have a song called Pogo the Clown that is about John Wayne Gacy. That's fucking phenomenal song. Dog fashion disco is some fun shit. If you don't know him, look into him.
[00:04:29] Speaker B: Okay. Dog fashion disco.
[00:04:32] Speaker C: Dog fashion disco.
[00:04:34] Speaker A: Okay, this is our.
[00:04:38] Speaker B: 52Nd episode.
[00:04:40] Speaker C: 52Nd.
[00:04:40] Speaker B: So, like, probably around. Somewhere around our hundred and something issue, because if you do two an episode, some episodes. We only done one, though, so it's probably, like, close to 100 issues of spawn.
[00:04:51] Speaker A: Maybe a little less. Yeah, maybe a little less. Well, I mean, technically, I did cover.
[00:04:58] Speaker C: A third one in that one issue not too long ago, but not really covered it.
[00:05:03] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. That's not the full covering of.
[00:05:05] Speaker C: Yeah, it's not the full coverage.
[00:05:07] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:05:08] Speaker C: But it's been some issues of spawn for some time.
[00:05:12] Speaker B: Yes. And we're here now, and these issues.
[00:05:14] Speaker A: Of spawn that we're doing today are. Anyway, to finish my thought, it's not.
[00:05:22] Speaker B: A joke, but it is a joke. Hopefully you guys get the tongue in cheekness when we say we're the world's best spawn podcast. And you don't think we're egotistical maniacs, but maybe we are, because we control this universe. This is our universe. This is our podcast, and we get to do whatever we want. And today we're reading two issues of Spawn universe.
Not quite two issues of Spawn, but they both have spawn in the title because we've got issue.
[00:05:50] Speaker C: Yeah, they do.
[00:05:51] Speaker A: 308 of mainline Spawn. Oh, thank God.
[00:05:55] Speaker B: David, guess what?
[00:05:56] Speaker A: It's not.
[00:05:58] Speaker B: It's not 306 or 307.
[00:06:00] Speaker C: Oh, man. It's a breath of fresh air.
[00:06:03] Speaker B: Look at that part. Consequence of sin, part one. Yes, there was a lot of sin. You have sinned, Todd. Father. And I want you to have consequences. For those last two issues.
[00:06:12] Speaker C: He needs to repent.
[00:06:14] Speaker B: Yeah, the least. Exactly. He needs to send me one of those spawn shirts from Comic Con todfather. Make it up to me.
[00:06:22] Speaker C: Congratulations.
[00:06:23] Speaker B: Yeah, we're doing some free publicity for you, budy. Come on. Come on. Let's get some shirts, maybe some pins. And a spawn.
[00:06:29] Speaker A: What was it called? A boop.
[00:06:32] Speaker C: A boop the blob? A bum bum.
[00:06:34] Speaker B: A bum bum. Can I get a bum bum bum bum?
[00:06:37] Speaker C: I think they actually have little bitty butts, too.
[00:06:39] Speaker B: Oh, really? That's hilarious.
So the first up is Spawn 308. All the way back from the far off land of June. July 2020.
Boy. And then July 2020. I was in the middle of a manic episode, I think.
[00:07:01] Speaker C: I'm pretty sure that was the month I was furloughed for a week.
[00:07:06] Speaker B: Oh, boy.
[00:07:07] Speaker A: Great times.
[00:07:07] Speaker B: And then the second issue is King Spawn 22. That's King Spawn 22 from May.
[00:07:14] Speaker C: Sounds like you're sorry. It sounded for a second there like you were leaving a voicemail message.
[00:07:20] Speaker B: It did.
[00:07:20] Speaker C: A long time.
[00:07:21] Speaker B: King Spawn 22, hit one.
If you'd like to read Spawn 308, press two.
[00:07:29] Speaker C: If you'd like to hear those options again, press the star key. If you're finished, just hang up.
[00:07:36] Speaker B: So you selected one, and you selected King Spawn 22. Because that's what we read for our second issue of the day.
[00:07:42] Speaker C: Well, you had to hit two first because we're going over 308.
[00:07:46] Speaker A: 1St.
[00:07:46] Speaker B: So you have to hit two and.
[00:07:47] Speaker A: Then one and then three.
[00:07:51] Speaker C: They like to make those things confusing, as confusing as possible.
They give you so many options on the first one, and then the second menu is always basically just a rehashing of most of those options. And it's like, why didn't we get rid of that one on the last one?
[00:08:05] Speaker B: I know you know this, but just, like, getting to a person through a pharmacy sometimes, it's just like, you have to outsmart the robot.
You can speak in full sentences, and I can understand you. I'm like, you can't because I'm explaining you what I need and you're not understanding.
[00:08:21] Speaker A: Yeah, you used to be able to.
[00:08:23] Speaker C: Just hit zero, and it would take you. No, they got wise on that.
The thing I hate is now that most websites don't have their customer service phone numbers on the website, you literally have to Google customer service phone number for company.
[00:08:40] Speaker B: Dude, I was trying to get rid.
[00:08:41] Speaker A: Of rip, but I got rid of my regal unlimited.
[00:08:46] Speaker B: Just because I usually go, like, two to three movies a month, and I go on Tuesday where it's only $7.
[00:08:50] Speaker A: So it wasn't worth it for, like.
[00:08:53] Speaker B: The $25 a month. There was a while when I was using it.
[00:08:55] Speaker A: I'd just been busy. Honestly.
[00:08:57] Speaker B: It was like, probably the 3 hours. The time I spent editing the podcast is when I would go see another movie.
No, I'm kidding.
[00:09:05] Speaker A: But it just wasn't worth it.
[00:09:08] Speaker B: And to find them to get rid.
[00:09:10] Speaker A: Of that, you think it would be.
[00:09:12] Speaker B: Just thing you click off.
[00:09:13] Speaker A: Oh, no.
[00:09:14] Speaker B: It was a whole rigmarole.
[00:09:16] Speaker C: It's like trying to get a refund from Amazon for the rotten ass produce that they've sent you.
[00:09:23] Speaker A: It's wild.
[00:09:26] Speaker C: It's wild.
[00:09:27] Speaker B: You sure you didn't order it pre rotten?
[00:09:31] Speaker A: I typically like my food edible when I get a hold of it.
[00:09:36] Speaker C: I haven't gone so far as to try the rotten meat yet.
[00:09:40] Speaker B: You got to try it. Be like a pilgrim. Come on, eat some rotten meat.
[00:09:44] Speaker C: I got to do that on a week when Wanda is forced to go somewhere else for family stuff, and we can work it out so that way I can stay behind.
[00:09:56] Speaker B: It's called the pilgrim challenge.
[00:09:58] Speaker A: So you eat a Dorito because I.
[00:10:00] Speaker B: Heard that that would kill a pilgrim. And then you eat rotten meat and.
[00:10:03] Speaker C: See which is worse.
There was one super bowl where we made our own snacks, but we made a lot of them because we made little smokies and rotel velveeta dip. And I ate an entire package of little smokies by myself in, like, an hour and a half and just had the worst farts imaginable for, like, two days.
[00:10:27] Speaker B: Oh, my God.
[00:10:27] Speaker C: And I am forbidden from having little smokies ever again. And it fucking sucks, dude, because Super bowl time rolls around. It's like, I got to get those little tiny wieners in my mouth.
[00:10:40] Speaker A: Yeah, but alas, I love a little smoky.
[00:10:45] Speaker B: I used to remember in elementary school they'd have the Mac and cheese with little smokies.
[00:10:48] Speaker A: That was one of my favorites, man. Little smokies are great.
[00:10:52] Speaker C: It's a great cookout food, or like a lazy cookout food where you just put the crock pot outside so you don't have to worry about doing the grill, right.
[00:11:00] Speaker A: Well, man, oh, man, oh, man.
[00:11:03] Speaker B: Straight off the. Yeah.
[00:11:05] Speaker A: What?
[00:11:05] Speaker C: Speaking of. Speaking of good little wieners, why don't we.
[00:11:09] Speaker B: Tom McFarland. He's a good wiener. Wiener. And still champion. Tod McFarlane, as we see at the.
[00:11:14] Speaker A: Top here, world record breaker, the champion.
[00:11:19] Speaker B: As they say no. You know, David, how, like, Chicago Wiener stands will have. There's, like, the wiener circle, and there's just different jokes with Wiener.
My favorite, I think. I don't remember where it is, but it's wiener and still champion. Like, that's a great name.
[00:11:34] Speaker C: That is a good one.
[00:11:35] Speaker B: And guess who has Wiener and still champion? Spawn. Because it's the world record breaking comic. Every fucking issue past 300 is a.
[00:11:42] Speaker A: World record breaking comic.
[00:11:45] Speaker C: Yeah.
[00:11:45] Speaker A: Hell, yeah.
[00:11:47] Speaker B: And what's that record, Dave?
Every episode of our podcast is a.
[00:11:52] Speaker A: World record breaking episode.
[00:11:55] Speaker C: Episode? Yeah.
It's the highest number of episodes for an independently produced spawn podcast by two guys who live in Chicago. It's true.
I love how, as the years go by, the description of the record always gets so long. It's like a paragraph independently owned.
It's like trying to do somebody who has going to get kind of boring and sciency here, but, like, doing the statistics on your results, trying to make it so that way things get to the point where their p is less than zero five, which means it's significant scientifically for most things. Some places, its p is less than 0.1. But, man, that's neither here nor there. It's fun seeing people do gymnastics to make their results be significant. It's sad, because most people who are trying to spread misinformation are very bad.
[00:13:06] Speaker A: At data, but very good at making.
[00:13:11] Speaker C: It look a way that convinces people who don't scrutinize everything will believe what they're being told.
[00:13:22] Speaker A: It sucks.
[00:13:22] Speaker C: It sucks real bad. Everybody should learn statistics, but statistics fucking sucks.
[00:13:29] Speaker A: As far as maths go, it's a bad one. It hurts my brain.
[00:13:35] Speaker B: I don't know, man. I'm not great at math.
[00:13:36] Speaker C: Real bad.
[00:13:37] Speaker A: I mean, I'm okay at it. I like the algebra.
[00:13:40] Speaker B: But if x equals spawn, then y equals. Why aren't we talking about it?
[00:13:44] Speaker C: Well, let's get right fucking into it. We got spawn omega is this trade paperback I am now reading.
[00:13:52] Speaker B: Oh, nice. You got a different trade paperback?
[00:13:54] Speaker C: Eh, it's got issues 308 through 315 on it. Nice.
[00:13:58] Speaker B: When did you get that?
[00:14:01] Speaker C: I got this a while ago.
I don't remember when was like, I need to get some of those issues.
[00:14:09] Speaker A: Oh, look at this.
[00:14:09] Speaker C: They still got them at the comic shops.
I think it was published in September of last year.
Yeah, first printing September 2020.
[00:14:19] Speaker A: 02:00 a.m.
Reading a floppy, and I've.
[00:14:24] Speaker B: Got the one in front of me.
[00:14:25] Speaker A: I've got the COVID Nice. It's just like spawn.
[00:14:31] Speaker B: It's like half Al, half spawn.
Nice face.
[00:14:37] Speaker C: Kind of like the classic Spider man. When he's got the spidey sense as Peter Parker.
[00:14:43] Speaker B: Yes, and it's machina, so it's very gothic and dark and really good detail.
[00:14:48] Speaker A: We know him.
[00:14:49] Speaker B: We love him, folks. But there are some other covers, so.
[00:14:54] Speaker C: I'm going to tell you right now.
[00:14:55] Speaker A: Johnny, I open up the front cover.
[00:14:58] Speaker C: Of this trade paperback, and that very first splash page they got right there is the lead killer variant for Spawn 308 by Ken Lashley and Juan Fernandez. And it's pretty bitching.
[00:15:12] Speaker B: Is it just like spawn sitting there?
[00:15:15] Speaker C: Yeah, it's spawn with his hands behind.
[00:15:19] Speaker A: One hand behind him, one hand in.
[00:15:21] Speaker C: Front of him, both holding not invisible oranges, but green visible green balls.
[00:15:27] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:15:30] Speaker C: Johnny, your green balls are visible.
[00:15:32] Speaker B: Well, that is the most valuable cover out of the covers here, according to cover price at $17.
[00:15:38] Speaker A: Oh, nice.
[00:15:40] Speaker B: We've also got this one, got a second printing, which is interesting.
You don't see a lot of the spawns get second printings.
[00:15:49] Speaker C: I'm sure we'll see a few of those coming up out of these.
[00:15:52] Speaker B: Right, because that was pandemic times.
Yeah, that was interesting. They've got second printing on it.
[00:15:58] Speaker A: The a cover, which I have, I.
[00:16:01] Speaker B: Think, but I couldn't find it. But I remember it, and I'm like, I definitely have.
[00:16:04] Speaker A: That is a McFarlane of, like, a.
[00:16:07] Speaker B: Guy in armor that I don't even.
[00:16:08] Speaker A: Know who the fuck it is.
[00:16:11] Speaker C: That's totally, like a spawn face because it's got the eye thing, but it's like some armor, but it's like a weird hawk mask.
[00:16:19] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:16:20] Speaker C: I'm intrigued, but I don't understand what's going on here.
[00:16:23] Speaker A: Yeah, I don't know either.
There's that, and then.
[00:16:28] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know.
[00:16:29] Speaker A: It's cool, but it's more in that kind of series.
[00:16:33] Speaker B: Of not series, but it seems like Tod McFarlane has been doing covers, and.
[00:16:37] Speaker A: It'S just like characters. Like, almost like headshots of them. He did, did.
[00:16:43] Speaker B: Speaking of hobby, baby, speaking of issue, this issue. This issue. This is a good.
[00:16:52] Speaker A: Let's. Let's.
[00:16:53] Speaker C: Let's get into it so we can start going into it. You'll have to read out all the front matter, since I ain't got none.
[00:16:59] Speaker B: All right, I got the front matter here.
Script and plot by Todd McFarlane.
[00:17:04] Speaker A: Ken Lashley on art. Inks are Tod and Ken, lettering.
[00:17:11] Speaker B: Tom Orchachowski doing the spawn for all the time.
All timer colors by Peter Segerwald.
[00:17:20] Speaker A: Nice then we went over the covers.
[00:17:23] Speaker B: McFarlane, Mattina Lashley.
[00:17:24] Speaker A: Can't beat it. And this is still got Tod McFarlane.
[00:17:28] Speaker B: As editor in chief.
[00:17:31] Speaker C: Interesting.
[00:17:32] Speaker B: Thomas Healy sitting there as publishing coordinator.
[00:17:34] Speaker C: So we're going to have us a little party when Healy gets that promotion.
[00:17:40] Speaker B: I know we'll have a little promotion party.
[00:17:42] Speaker A: I got to read the previously in say. All right, yeah, do the previously in. That's fine. What do you mean?
[00:17:50] Speaker B: No?
[00:17:51] Speaker C: I was going to say, because, like, the last trade paperback I had. I'll just jump right in. The last trade paperback I had had the COVID gallery in the back. But the gallery in the back of this one is just inked pages. Like, one inked page from each issue.
So it's just.
[00:18:12] Speaker A: That's cool.
[00:18:14] Speaker C: So I don't get to see all the covers anymore. It's sad, but okay. We at least have some process pictures, which is fun.
[00:18:21] Speaker A: That is fun.
[00:18:22] Speaker B: But I like the covers.
[00:18:24] Speaker A: Spawn likes the covers. Previously in Spawn.
[00:18:30] Speaker B: In prophecy of death, part two, the battle between spawn and Raptor rages on, neither one able to gain the upper hand. The stalemate begins to lead down the path. Towards their mutual destruction. As the conflict enters the realm of darkness, Spawn and Raptor's mind become one. It is there that spawn learns the terrible truth. The beast has been set free.
So what were you laughing at?
[00:18:59] Speaker C: I immediately knew it was going to be a long ass Todd father one. When it said prophecy of death, part two.
[00:19:06] Speaker B: Yep. It's a long ass tod. Father one.
[00:19:09] Speaker C: Oh, boy. Oh, boy. Hey, Johnny, you should have just read that. Instead of trying to figure out what was going on in the issue.
[00:19:16] Speaker B: Yeah, when I got to this, it was a huge relief.
[00:19:19] Speaker C: That review of that recap.
That's a three and a half stars right there.
[00:19:24] Speaker A: Great recap.
[00:19:25] Speaker C: Three and a half of them.
[00:19:27] Speaker A: Great recap.
[00:19:29] Speaker C: That raises the review of the issue significantly.
[00:19:34] Speaker B: And then we get more Todd Father hijinks.
[00:19:37] Speaker A: Because what do we get?
[00:19:39] Speaker B: We get a boss talking to a group of underlings.
[00:19:43] Speaker C: We don't get just any boss. We get fucking Rachel ghoul from the Batman, basically.
Oh, man.
[00:19:51] Speaker B: He's drinking some wine.
[00:19:52] Speaker C: He's drinking some wine. I like those fingers on that third panel when it's gripping the glasses.
[00:19:59] Speaker A: And some good fingers.
[00:20:01] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. Nice rings.
[00:20:04] Speaker A: Real.
[00:20:04] Speaker C: Like tombstone Tomb Stony.
[00:20:08] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:20:09] Speaker B: I really like the art in this issue a lot. I mean, I like this issue completely.
[00:20:13] Speaker A: I like this issue a lot.
[00:20:16] Speaker C: This issue rocks. Yeah, it's great.
[00:20:18] Speaker A: It's great.
[00:20:19] Speaker B: It's what we want.
[00:20:19] Speaker C: It's what we want.
[00:20:20] Speaker B: It tod, don't do that weird Raptor shit.
[00:20:23] Speaker C: Yeah, he's talking to some underlings. Talking about how the humans have taken over the world for too long. Al Simmons is being.
He's, like, right there, but he's not doing it the right way. So we need to do it the right way.
And apparently, all of these guys are hellhounds. And so he's going to use them.
[00:20:45] Speaker A: To trek down and take over the world.
[00:20:48] Speaker B: I love the panel of the hellhounds. Just like, I like them all sitting there like that guy with the glasses. It's awesome.
[00:20:53] Speaker C: The guy with the sunglasses, they all.
[00:20:55] Speaker B: Look like awesome badass. Like movies. Like henchmen.
[00:20:59] Speaker C: Yeah, there's that big dude in the back. That is wearing a vest with no shirt underneath.
[00:21:04] Speaker B: Yeah, no, they're just awesome.
I really like the art here. And it reminded me of old, early spawn, too.
[00:21:11] Speaker A: A lot.
[00:21:12] Speaker B: His pundits are near, like, perfect recreations of Todd McFarland's pundits, I swear.
[00:21:18] Speaker C: Yeah, that's what I was thinking, too.
[00:21:20] Speaker A: If they weren't just, like, actual Tod.
[00:21:24] Speaker C: McFarlane original pundit art.
[00:21:26] Speaker A: Right.
For a second, I wondered.
[00:21:30] Speaker C: I think it might actually be. I think they might. And paste.
[00:21:33] Speaker B: Okay, maybe. Maybe he was just, like, super into it and was like, can we just use that?
[00:21:37] Speaker C: Johnny, do you have a little asterisk with no information?
[00:21:42] Speaker B: Mine has information.
[00:21:43] Speaker C: Oh, mine has no information.
[00:21:45] Speaker B: What is your information? You all heard what happened to clown Zelbani installation.
[00:21:49] Speaker A: It created a wrinkle issues.
[00:21:51] Speaker B: 300 and 301 is what it says.
[00:21:53] Speaker A: So just reference back to where clown exploded a temporary portal in time.
[00:21:59] Speaker B: So this is where we're finding out that the other spawns have arrived. We kind of knew there's all those dots around the globe. But this is, like, confirmation.
[00:22:07] Speaker C: So that means gumshoe is out there.
[00:22:09] Speaker B: And he's out there.
[00:22:10] Speaker C: They're going to find him. Yeah. They're going to track down the tracker. Because that's what the gumshoe does.
Fucking forgot how much I love gumshoe spawn. The dude is so cool.
Then he gives us a nice little recap of what happened basically at the end of 305.
[00:22:28] Speaker B: Awesome thing of medieval here.
[00:22:31] Speaker A: Yeah. And there's a little more of a.
[00:22:35] Speaker C: Recap of the history of spawns killing stuff. And how in that time, a spawn has never killed another spawn, not once. That's, like, the only thing a spawn has never killed.
[00:22:45] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:22:48] Speaker C: This medieval.
[00:22:49] Speaker B: This is straight from the top, father's mouth. So we know that that's true.
[00:22:51] Speaker C: Yeah, he's just galloping through a field.
[00:22:54] Speaker A: Of beasties, demons cutting them up.
[00:22:59] Speaker B: He looks badass.
[00:23:00] Speaker A: Real good.
[00:23:01] Speaker C: Man on a horse business there.
[00:23:04] Speaker B: Someone already set it in motion.
[00:23:07] Speaker A: Yeah. Who is it?
[00:23:09] Speaker C: Well, it's an old man with a beard. And a snake.
[00:23:11] Speaker A: And a poncho. And a poncho.
[00:23:13] Speaker B: I like this version of Cog. I like this version of Cog.
[00:23:16] Speaker C: Yeah, you weren't invited here. Your security team said the same thing. Ask them how it went.
Oh, man.
[00:23:25] Speaker B: And he says, these new hell spawns, they're going to be blank slates and they're going to get on a host.
[00:23:31] Speaker A: Maybe.
[00:23:32] Speaker B: Is that what happens with.
[00:23:33] Speaker A: Well, we'll see.
[00:23:34] Speaker C: Yeah, he's like, I can get you to them and I can get you there safely and you can recruit them, and I'll mask. But we all know.
Yeah, we know now that that's not what Cog's doing. No, but he's a tricksky fella.
[00:23:50] Speaker B: He's a tricksky guy.
[00:23:52] Speaker A: And then, yeah, we get to the.
[00:23:53] Speaker C: Pundits and the pundits are tackling the very topical coronavirus pandemic.
[00:24:01] Speaker A: Yeah. Yikes.
[00:24:02] Speaker C: I like seeing the pundits take on actual things in the news because it's fun.
And of course, our boy Brock the shock fennel. Big Trumper, full on Nastyman.
[00:24:18] Speaker A: Now.
[00:24:22] Speaker C: Our magnificent, stable genius of a leader, of a president.
[00:24:27] Speaker A: Is this the first time that he.
[00:24:30] Speaker C: Advocates fully for Second Amendment shit?
[00:24:35] Speaker A: I don't know. Maybe.
What's the second amendment?
[00:24:42] Speaker C: Well, second amendment technically is for a well regulated militia.
[00:24:48] Speaker A: Oh, right.
[00:24:51] Speaker C: Which in modern terms would be the National Guard. The army.
[00:24:55] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:24:57] Speaker C: Because at the time that the nation was founded, we didn't have a formal military right as we think of it now. And so our well regulated militia is the fucking army. So I don't know what the fuck these people are thinking, but let's not get on that topic.
[00:25:15] Speaker B: Yeah, whatever. If you want to be in a militia, you just go around, walk around in a field with your friends. Maybe that's fun.
[00:25:21] Speaker A: I don't know.
[00:25:24] Speaker C: If the current season of righteous gemstones.
[00:25:28] Speaker B: Oh, shit, I need to watch that.
[00:25:30] Speaker C: Oh, it's so fucking good.
[00:25:32] Speaker B: See, that's how bad I am at tv.
[00:25:33] Speaker A: I don't even watch stuff I like.
How dare you?
[00:25:37] Speaker C: Yeah, well, if you wait for it to all come, right now it's weekly. So if you just wait for it to all come out, you can just watch it.
[00:25:43] Speaker B: I'm more apt to watch it weekly, though. I need to catch up, like, right now.
Maybe I'll do that tonight.
[00:25:50] Speaker C: Nice. Then we cut to an unknown location.
And Al and Jessica.
[00:25:57] Speaker B: Al's finally back. He's back from the stupid vision. He's back. He's back. He's back.
[00:26:00] Speaker A: Yeah, he's back.
[00:26:02] Speaker C: He's talking about a talking artwork. Oh, no, they got the medieval armor just like on an operating table here.
It's kind of like if Yoda had been wearing medieval armor before he died in his sleep.
[00:26:21] Speaker B: He died of Luke asking questions to death.
[00:26:25] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:26:28] Speaker C: Man, sometimes I wish I could just go to sleep and then just disappear.
[00:26:32] Speaker B: Yeah. I would be very sad.
[00:26:34] Speaker A: So don't do that.
As long as you can come back.
[00:26:38] Speaker C: But, I mean, imagine how restful you must feel when you wake up as a forced ghost.
[00:26:43] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, you're falling.
[00:26:45] Speaker C: You ain't got those aches and pains.
You're not. Just like my body feels.
[00:26:50] Speaker B: So when 900 year olds you reach.
[00:26:53] Speaker A: Looks as good, you will not.
[00:26:56] Speaker C: I definitely won't. No. Although I've eaten enough preservatives in my life, I might look roughly the same.
[00:27:01] Speaker B: Yeah. All those Doritos and rotten meat.
[00:27:04] Speaker C: Yeah, rotten Doritos.
[00:27:08] Speaker B: Oh, my God. We ordered some rotten tositos. Not really, but we got these chips. We were on Gopuff, and they're having this big sale, and sometimes when Gopuff has a sale, it's actually, like, cheaper than the grocery store.
They'll just have, like, sale on this random shit. And we were looking and they had these chips that are $0.99. These guacamole chips. We're like, I wonder why they're ninety nine cents.
[00:27:27] Speaker A: Oh, well, we got them. They look like Halloween.
[00:27:31] Speaker B: They're, like, molded. They're guacamole chips where they're like green dust. They look like they're molded. They're disgusting. They're, like, hard to eat.
[00:27:38] Speaker C: So gross.
[00:27:39] Speaker B: They taste fine, but they're just hard to eat. It's hilarious. So, yeah, I've had a rotten chip this week. Well, not really, but a rotten looking chip.
[00:27:47] Speaker C: It's the greasy, nasty, crusty chip from the bottom of the bag. You've eaten every potato chip in the world, Johnny, except for that one.
[00:27:55] Speaker B: Whatever was hiding inside that thing is gone.
[00:27:57] Speaker A: So the goop left?
Yeah, the goop left.
[00:28:01] Speaker C: The goop got the heck out of here. It made like a tree and got out of here.
Then you said you met one in the darkness, and he wasn't too friendly, either. See, last two issues, don't see, the last two issues.
[00:28:19] Speaker A: Don't do it.
[00:28:19] Speaker B: I do love this, though. And she's like, how do you know these things aren't coming to kill us. And he goes, we don't. She goes, awesome.
[00:28:24] Speaker A: Awesome.
[00:28:26] Speaker B: Sassy Jessica. Looking good.
[00:28:28] Speaker C: Yeah, that's real good.
[00:28:30] Speaker A: That's real good.
[00:28:31] Speaker C: Mark's being like, I thought you needed to recharge your batteries, sir.
[00:28:36] Speaker B: There's some strong spawns out there.
[00:28:37] Speaker A: Because the reading he's getting from you.
[00:28:40] Speaker B: Isn'T nearly as strong as some of these others.
[00:28:43] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:28:43] Speaker C: And then spawns basically talk Alice. Basically talking about putting the armor on himself.
[00:28:48] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:28:49] Speaker C: They're talking about whether that's a good idea or not.
[00:28:51] Speaker B: Damn, this Jessica's so badass on here.
[00:28:54] Speaker C: Their conversation goes on at length. Then Mark gives them the coordinates of her reading halfway across the.
[00:29:00] Speaker A: Good luck.
[00:29:01] Speaker B: Yeah, she looks so badass with that gun and shit.
[00:29:04] Speaker C: Yeah, she does. She's got those chains wrapped around her forearm.
[00:29:08] Speaker A: Pretty cool.
[00:29:09] Speaker C: I like the lining on the inside of her little jacket, too.
[00:29:12] Speaker B: That looks nice.
[00:29:16] Speaker C: In the early two thousand s, a company called coffin cases started, and they made guitar and drumstick cases in the shapes of coffins.
[00:29:33] Speaker B: Okay.
[00:29:33] Speaker C: And they had, like, rich red velvet interiors, so that way you could be a little goth musician with your coffin shaped case. And that's what the inside of her jacket looks like. It looks like that soft, rich, velvety stuff.
[00:29:51] Speaker B: Nice.
[00:29:54] Speaker C: And then.
[00:29:54] Speaker A: Johnny, what do we got? What do we got?
[00:29:58] Speaker B: It's a man named.
[00:30:01] Speaker C: It's Javier Bardim.
[00:30:03] Speaker B: No.
[00:30:05] Speaker C: Looking good. Before his exile from France for tax evasion.
[00:30:10] Speaker B: Is that what happened to Javier Bardim?
[00:30:13] Speaker C: Yeah, he left the country to avoid paying taxes, which is why he's not really in much anymore.
[00:30:19] Speaker A: Nice.
[00:30:20] Speaker C: Because most places that he would go, he would be arrested for tax evasion. So he has to stay in the countries that he also just was like.
[00:30:29] Speaker A: I made a lot of fucking money.
[00:30:30] Speaker C: I don't need to work anymore. And just did that thing where people who decide that they've done enough to get what they need to be comfortable, just like, it was like, hey, guys, bring me some food.
[00:30:43] Speaker A: Yeah, I mean, that's kind of life.
[00:30:46] Speaker B: No, it's Javi. It's Javi, our friend.
[00:30:50] Speaker C: It's our cowboy.
[00:30:52] Speaker A: It's our cowboy.
[00:30:54] Speaker C: And he's taken a drink in a room full of beated up people.
[00:31:00] Speaker B: So he definitely. Okay. I don't know. So this definitely was like. It's what he was talking about just a second ago. Like, some of these things will be blank slates. Like, this entity came imprinted on this Javier person.
[00:31:12] Speaker C: Yeah. So Javier was just a business.
[00:31:15] Speaker B: He was a guy going about his.
[00:31:17] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:31:18] Speaker C: So. So gunslinger spawn got sucked forward in time and got attached to this body.
[00:31:24] Speaker A: Right?
[00:31:27] Speaker C: We know you're in there. Javier flips of the bird.
[00:31:34] Speaker A: I like it.
He just completely surrounds.
[00:31:38] Speaker C: Reach for the sky, Bannon. Javier finishes his drink.
He ain't got no fucks, none of them. He ain't got none to give. And there's a little flashback to how he got into the position he's in and that he was getting hassled by some rough neck pool players. And then just, like, spawned out on him.
[00:32:03] Speaker A: Spawned out on him.
[00:32:05] Speaker C: He got that necroplasm energy in his eyes and just washed.
[00:32:11] Speaker A: Blam, blam.
[00:32:12] Speaker C: Blamed Kosh. Kosh is a good one.
Yeah, he's just standing there above them.
[00:32:19] Speaker A: Javi's kind of hot in this picture.
[00:32:24] Speaker B: Looking good.
[00:32:25] Speaker C: I mean, he's hot now, but as we learn, he's going to decay.
Decay in 24 hours, which is why he keeps reverting to his gunslinger form, because he's got, like, a 24 hours clock on that body.
[00:32:40] Speaker B: It's pretty rotten like what we've seen of it in the modern. The current gunslinger spawn.
[00:32:46] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:32:46] Speaker C: And I like how cog comes in and proud of yourself are.
[00:32:56] Speaker A: Little.
[00:32:57] Speaker C: You can tell there's some history between them. We know there's some history between them.
[00:33:02] Speaker A: Where we are, but this isn't our first meeting.
[00:33:06] Speaker C: And Javi shoots him.
[00:33:09] Speaker B: Are you done?
[00:33:12] Speaker C: So it's true. Old man Cooliostra still has a bit of spawn left in him. It's a little bit like the Arnold meeting.
Fucking what's his head at the beginning of predator. Dylan, what's the matter? They got you pushing too many pencils?
[00:33:33] Speaker B: Cogs? Like, of course, asking him about how much power you got, buddy. Hey, you got any power? You got any power?
[00:33:40] Speaker C: Yeah, it doesn't matter. It always matters. Smash them against the table.
[00:33:46] Speaker B: You can't just grab any host.
[00:33:48] Speaker C: The one you've got now will shrivel and die out in the next 24 hours. I think it's the irony of gunslinger spawn being teleported through time into a bookstore.
[00:34:02] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:34:02] Speaker B: What a way to.
[00:34:05] Speaker C: It is.
[00:34:09] Speaker A: Quite ironic. Yeah. He can't read because he can't read it.
[00:34:14] Speaker C: He can't read that. The spawn is there. Signed copies.
[00:34:18] Speaker B: Yeah, it's the spawn, right? Isn't that what it says?
[00:34:19] Speaker A: It looks like it's what it says.
[00:34:21] Speaker C: That's what it says.
That's what they're going to have to call the movie in order to keep from having a title confusion is the spawn. Like the Batman. And then so Javi and Cog walk out, and we see that? Cog took care of the police quite handedly.
Cog and the hellhound, at least. And Javi says, I ain't got good history with hellhounds. Keep this one away from me.
[00:34:46] Speaker B: And then he's just like, why?
[00:34:49] Speaker A: I thought you were a loner.
[00:34:50] Speaker B: Why are you helping me out?
[00:34:51] Speaker A: And he's just like, I got my reasons.
[00:34:54] Speaker C: Yeah, we know what those reasons are. They're not very altruistic.
[00:34:58] Speaker B: They're not.
[00:34:58] Speaker C: And then we got a necrometer of.
[00:35:03] Speaker A: Man.
That's not very much.
[00:35:06] Speaker B: That's low. Al.
[00:35:08] Speaker C: Didn't Al have like one seven? Oh, no, that was in 391. Never mind.
[00:35:12] Speaker A: Or 341.
[00:35:13] Speaker B: At the end of this, there is no power meter.
[00:35:17] Speaker C: Oh, there's a power meter on mine.
[00:35:19] Speaker A: Nice. Really?
[00:35:20] Speaker B: No, I'm saying at the end of 307, there is no power meter.
[00:35:24] Speaker C: Okay, there is one on 308, though.
[00:35:26] Speaker A: Yes. Yeah, nice.
[00:35:29] Speaker B: Super low. I do want to point out, it's just like the stuff. It's like the trade paperbacks and stuff like that. There is an ad for something that's.
[00:35:37] Speaker A: Now streaming on Sci-Fi called the Tod McFarland.
[00:35:40] Speaker B: Like hell I won't. Original documentary. I want to find this.
[00:35:45] Speaker C: I think it's on YouTube.
[00:35:46] Speaker A: Oh, really? A real life comic book saga. But yeah, I'm curious.
[00:35:51] Speaker B: I'll check that out. But I just wanted to point that.
[00:35:56] Speaker C: Nice.
Oh, the Tod father got a lot.
Speaking of the humble. Yeah, the humble tod McFarland never is grandiose about anything.
[00:36:07] Speaker B: No, never salesman or like kind of a pitch man. Never kind of like that or anything.
[00:36:13] Speaker C: That makes it seem like he's an asshole. No, I. Fuck no, I love him.
[00:36:16] Speaker B: But he's a self promoter. He has to be. We are. I do. When I do like theater, when I do this podcast, like, you have to be.
[00:36:25] Speaker C: He's much better at it than we are.
So good at it, man.
Is there a spawning grounds in that, Johnny?
[00:36:33] Speaker B: There's not no spawning ground. It just shows the. Shows the power meter then goes straight into the ads.
[00:36:40] Speaker A: Oh, man. Oh, man. Wow. That's it. Well, dang, that's spawn. 308. 308.
It's a date with hot Javy.
[00:36:53] Speaker B: Because I thought Javi was looking good.
[00:36:54] Speaker A: In that suit, Johnny.
[00:36:59] Speaker C: It's like we already done had lunch because we. 308.
[00:37:05] Speaker A: War.
[00:37:29] Speaker B: Of re spawn.
[00:37:30] Speaker C: Yeah, the first year of respawn. Or respawn the first.
[00:37:35] Speaker B: The first year. I think this upcoming year is going to be the year of Respawn. This is our year where we really grow because Spawn is going to grow.
[00:37:43] Speaker A: Because that movie's coming, and it's going to happen.
[00:37:49] Speaker C: Not right now, it isn't, but, yeah, shit.
[00:37:52] Speaker B: It's not happening at all. Eventually, hopefully.
[00:37:58] Speaker C: First it was just the writer strike that was holding back, but now they got the saga Africa strike.
[00:38:03] Speaker A: Man, oh, boy. Man, oh, boy, man.
[00:38:09] Speaker B: Well, we still have comic books. If we don't have.
[00:38:12] Speaker A: Yeah, we'll still get those.
[00:38:15] Speaker C: Still get those.
[00:38:16] Speaker B: Especially one written by Sean Lewis. Yeah. King Spawn 22, continuing that Sam and Twitch arc.
[00:38:24] Speaker C: Additional script by Todd McFarland there.
[00:38:26] Speaker A: Oh, yeah.
[00:38:27] Speaker C: We got our boy Javi. Fernando.
[00:38:30] Speaker B: Wait, David, we didn't cover the covers.
[00:38:32] Speaker C: Well, I figured we could cover the covers when we got to the covers and the covers.
[00:38:35] Speaker B: Cool. That's cool. Are you mixing it up? You're mixing.
[00:38:38] Speaker C: No, let's cover. We're covering the covers.
[00:38:41] Speaker B: You're almost there. You're so.
[00:38:43] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:38:43] Speaker C: Okay. Colors by Ivan Nunez, lettering by design.
Cover artists. We got two cover artists listed here. We got Victor Bogdanovich, who's been doing the artist series this month. So he's been doing each of the series issues covers. And also there's a pretty keen cover by Kevin Keane.
[00:39:07] Speaker B: Yeah, I got the Kevin Keane in front of me right now. It's awesome.
[00:39:11] Speaker C: I got the Bogdanovich.
[00:39:13] Speaker A: It says.
[00:39:15] Speaker C: I like how his signature isn't Bogdanovich, it's Victor.
Oh, man, that keen one's pretty awesome.
[00:39:25] Speaker A: Yeah, it's great. Spawn.
[00:39:27] Speaker C: Like, is that a chimney?
[00:39:28] Speaker A: He's on.
[00:39:29] Speaker B: He's on like a big chimney thing. Yeah, he's on a chimney with a logo. It's like the classic, like, king spawn.
[00:39:34] Speaker A: Logo in the upper left.
[00:39:36] Speaker C: Does yours have the skull in the.
[00:39:40] Speaker A: Yes, in the symbol.
[00:39:42] Speaker C: Okay. Because apparently there's two versions of that.
[00:39:47] Speaker A: Where one of them is the one.
[00:39:50] Speaker C: You have that in the upper right, there is the kingspawn symbol with the skull in it. And then the image logo and the issue number are in the lower right hand corner.
[00:40:02] Speaker B: That's what I have.
[00:40:03] Speaker C: And then there's another one where the crown without the skull is in the upper left, and then the image logo and the issue number is in the upper right.
[00:40:13] Speaker A: Okay.
Interesting.
[00:40:15] Speaker C: Interesting weird variances.
[00:40:19] Speaker B: I actually think I. Is this the one I accidentally destroyed?
[00:40:25] Speaker C: Yeah, it is destroyed in more of a way than the middle.
[00:40:28] Speaker B: Falling out. Yeah, I fell asleep with it on my. I fell asleep with it next to.
[00:40:34] Speaker A: Me when I was taking it a nap.
[00:40:37] Speaker B: Actually, it was the day after.
[00:40:39] Speaker A: That's what it would have been, because I was reading it.
[00:40:42] Speaker B: It was the day after 4 July where I just wasn't feeling good. I wasn't just hungover, by the way. I just. Feeling weird. I was just real exhausted, probably. I think I just didn't drink enough water.
[00:40:52] Speaker A: But I fell asleep then on the.
[00:40:55] Speaker B: Couch, like, watching Godzilla channel and rolled around and forgot it was under me, and it got, like.
So I always have the one right now. So I'll have to get it when I go to Swancon. Hey, it's something to get at Swancon for, like, $3.
[00:41:08] Speaker A: Whatever.
[00:41:09] Speaker C: Yeah.
This issue comes to us from the long ago days of May 2023.
[00:41:17] Speaker A: Oh, boy.
Man.
[00:41:19] Speaker C: That was actually very long ago.
[00:41:21] Speaker A: Getting there.
[00:41:22] Speaker C: Creative director Tod McFarland editor in chief, Thomas Healy.
[00:41:25] Speaker A: There we go.
[00:41:25] Speaker B: There they are. We did the credits.
[00:41:27] Speaker A: Okay.
[00:41:28] Speaker B: Previously in Spawn. We're back to Thomas Healy writing this because it's a lot shorter.
[00:41:32] Speaker A: Here we go.
[00:41:33] Speaker B: Previously in King Spawn, Spawn discovers the exodus foundation's vault of brains. Meanwhile, Sam has been taken hostage in an effort to keep Spawn at bay.
Also to learn more about Spawn.
[00:41:50] Speaker A: Yeah, a little.
[00:41:53] Speaker C: Mean. This one opens. It's coming right at you, Johnny boom. Brains. It's brains coming right for your dome.
[00:42:01] Speaker B: I love it when it starts with, like, the lay of the land is this. Exes is doing this.
[00:42:05] Speaker A: Here you go. Catch you up. Let's go.
Yeah.
[00:42:11] Speaker C: As respond, he invaded their warehouses, which were guarded by a pack of junkyard dogs with appetites for the macabre.
[00:42:18] Speaker A: He's just raining brains down on him. Yeah, man.
[00:42:23] Speaker C: Those dogs are just going after him.
[00:42:27] Speaker A: Oh, man.
[00:42:29] Speaker C: Sam's just, like, crawling out of the way over there in the background.
[00:42:34] Speaker B: He's like, a spawn's like, you okay, Sam? That's just funny to.
[00:42:39] Speaker C: It's. They tried to cut me over. I like how he's just, like, showing his tooth to spawn.
[00:42:44] Speaker A: Just like.
[00:42:46] Speaker B: Yeah, we're just like, look at this.
[00:42:47] Speaker A: They knocked out my goddamn tooth.
[00:42:52] Speaker C: You're a pawn. They're using you. You think?
Oh, man.
Spawn was sassy in 341, and now Sam is sassy in King 22.
[00:43:04] Speaker A: Just shoots Madeline.
[00:43:06] Speaker B: Lady Madeline in the leg.
[00:43:09] Speaker C: Yeah, this is great, because usually we leave the sharpshooting duties to twitch, but here we learn that Sam himself is no slouch in that arena.
[00:43:18] Speaker B: I love how the splosh comes out of the blood. Like the words out of the blood.
[00:43:22] Speaker C: That's so awesome.
[00:43:23] Speaker B: Splosh.
[00:43:24] Speaker C: Oh, man, it's so gross. Getting shot in the knee there. That's nasty.
[00:43:28] Speaker B: That's got to hurt.
[00:43:30] Speaker C: She falls, mouth open into that.
[00:43:34] Speaker B: It's like she's in a Sam Raimi movie.
[00:43:38] Speaker C: They call her Lady Madeline. Working for Exodus has always given her a keen sense of confidence. Until today, that is.
[00:43:46] Speaker B: Then we got our opening quote there. Responds, laying down the law.
[00:43:53] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:43:55] Speaker C: And then we cut to the hotel room where Terry and Cyan are having it out.
Terry's sitting on the couch, and Cyan's just going around the room throwing shit in the air. There's like a book, telephone.
At some point, a gun. Terry pulls out a gun.
[00:44:16] Speaker B: Yeah, I don't know what's going on there. His hands on the trigger. So I don't know if he's just, like, explaining. Like, maybe he needs a gun. Like he's trying to give it to her.
[00:44:22] Speaker C: Yeah, I don't know. And then they get a pump bomb on the door.
[00:44:26] Speaker A: Pump bomb.
Who could it be?
[00:44:29] Speaker C: Well, obviously it's Dick Wolf, because that's the law and order.
[00:44:33] Speaker A: Bum, bum.
[00:44:34] Speaker B: It's me, dick Wolf, creator of all your favorite shows.
[00:44:42] Speaker C: You're trying to get how many spawns going at. Oh, you're going to need me. You're going to need me to get them going. Empty. There's no one in the hallway, Johnny. And so they step out. And then from the shadows, tar marivel lights herself a cigarette, gives her, like, a poison ivy kiss. And Cyan didn't have time to put her rubber lips on, so she falls to the ground and starts convulsing. And she needs to get that shoelace that held spawn's face together back. That's what helped her last gets her.
[00:45:15] Speaker B: That was her favorite thing. It was like her binky.
[00:45:17] Speaker A: Yeah, it flew out the window in one issue.
[00:45:21] Speaker B: And they had to drive the car, swerve it.
[00:45:24] Speaker C: Yeah, it was on the side of the highway.
[00:45:28] Speaker B: Yeah, she was sucking on it or something.
[00:45:30] Speaker A: Oh, man.
[00:45:31] Speaker C: So gross. Yeah. Oh, man, look at how shriveled, like, all of the moisture got sucked out of her face. That's like me when Tar.
[00:45:40] Speaker B: It's me in the winter when she did the shotgun. She was like, hey, shotgun weed used.
[00:45:45] Speaker A: To do if you were cool, party.
[00:45:47] Speaker C: Well, it's some tainted weed is what's.
[00:45:50] Speaker A: Going on there, Johnny. Something, something.
[00:45:53] Speaker C: It's got covered in that angel dust or something. And then we get the appearance of behemoth.
[00:46:02] Speaker B: Yes, your favorite. You didn't have to say it. I'll just cut it in for that one episode.
[00:46:07] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:46:09] Speaker C: He does not fit in this hallway very well. He looks so uncomfortable.
[00:46:14] Speaker A: I know. He's like.
[00:46:15] Speaker B: He's like one shoulder at a time.
[00:46:18] Speaker C: I do like how when it shows behemoth showing up, I like how Tar's face is kind of evil and demony.
[00:46:30] Speaker B: It's almost like skull.
[00:46:31] Speaker C: Like she's taunting him as she does. And then we're back at the vault of brains.
Sam and Spawn are walking.
[00:46:43] Speaker A: Fuck, what's her name?
[00:46:45] Speaker B: Lady Meredith?
[00:46:48] Speaker C: Madeline. Lady Madeline shit into the thing. And she steals the gun from Sam's.
[00:46:56] Speaker A: Belt, and she says, don't move.
[00:46:59] Speaker C: And then Sam does move surprisingly fast for his frame. And he just cold cocks her right in the face.
[00:47:07] Speaker A: Yeah, man.
[00:47:08] Speaker B: Damn, Sam.
[00:47:09] Speaker C: Sam is just brutal. He's just sick of it.
First he buys some really nasty coffee, and then he gets abducted. And now this lady's trying to point a gun at him.
[00:47:20] Speaker B: His own gun.
[00:47:22] Speaker C: His own gun. I like this spawn picking up the.
[00:47:25] Speaker A: Gun with his cape. That is funny.
[00:47:28] Speaker B: I like that.
[00:47:28] Speaker A: That's really good.
[00:47:29] Speaker C: All of the assurances Spawn gave her for her safety. It's like, you done fucked it, lady.
A new sheriff is in town, and it's the same sheriff as the old sheriff, but he's just not taking any shit this time.
[00:47:43] Speaker A: Nope.
[00:47:44] Speaker B: Sure ain't.
[00:47:45] Speaker C: And then I like how they pause for a second before they go in. And Spawn looks at Sam. And Sam's like, I'll stick with you for a few minutes.
Like, I ain't got nothing else going on right now.
[00:47:59] Speaker A: They open the secret door to this gnarly lab.
[00:48:04] Speaker C: Gnarly. It's just 100% rotten.com down there, Johnny. That's all it is.
[00:48:10] Speaker B: Your favorite fucking website, I bet, when you're a kid.
[00:48:12] Speaker A: Oh, man, oh, man.
[00:48:14] Speaker C: When I was a freshman in high school. Good lord, it smells real bad. And she can't remember how many I brought down there. Could be thousands. And he slams her into one of the computers. She's out of the picture for a little bit.
[00:48:29] Speaker A: I'd say. So.
[00:48:30] Speaker C: I think she's probably the computers.
[00:48:33] Speaker B: Yeah, he killed that lady.
[00:48:35] Speaker A: Probably.
[00:48:36] Speaker B: Spawn killed that lady. Like I said, man, he's not bad, man.
[00:48:38] Speaker A: He don't give a shit.
[00:48:40] Speaker C: Yeah, no, no shits to give. Sam's like, I'm going to take a look around.
[00:48:43] Speaker A: And then he finds somebody.
[00:48:46] Speaker C: So they sneak up on her.
It's Yoko, one of Cyan's friends who everyone believed was dead.
[00:48:55] Speaker B: See issue 276.
[00:48:58] Speaker A: I will be once the compendiums get there.
[00:49:02] Speaker C: Yeah, we're getting close.
[00:49:04] Speaker B: Yeah, because they have up to 250.
[00:49:06] Speaker C: And then she's the linchpin that ties everything together.
So this is majorly, majorly bad news here for old Spawny.
[00:49:18] Speaker A: Old Mr.
[00:49:19] Speaker C: Spawn.
[00:49:19] Speaker A: Mr. Spawn.
[00:49:20] Speaker C: I do like how like, skulls holding his cape on are right there. Instead of how they're usually flat medallions, they look like the children's skulls that they'd have in a museum.
[00:49:35] Speaker B: Children's skulls they'd have in a museum.
[00:49:37] Speaker A: That's fucked up, man.
[00:49:40] Speaker C: Museums have been fucked up for a real long time, Jonah.
[00:49:42] Speaker A: I know.
[00:49:43] Speaker C: They're like, here's some dead children.
[00:49:46] Speaker A: There you go.
That bodyworks thing, that always freaked me out.
[00:49:50] Speaker C: Oh, man, it's so crazy.
[00:49:52] Speaker A: It's so weird. From, like, mass graves.
[00:49:57] Speaker C: We got some spawning ground here.
[00:49:59] Speaker A: Another mailbag.
[00:50:00] Speaker C: Francisco has sent in somebody else's artwork of and twitch that I thought was pretty cool.
[00:50:05] Speaker B: That artwork fucking rules.
[00:50:07] Speaker A: It does.
[00:50:08] Speaker C: I wish Emmanuel de Silva had sent it in.
De Silva lose.
[00:50:14] Speaker B: Incredible.
[00:50:14] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:50:15] Speaker C: Then we get an update from Jan about Jet.
[00:50:18] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, they got to draw.
[00:50:21] Speaker C: As long as he keeps doing his art. He gets a McFarlane action figure every month.
And one of his recent acquisitions was Raven Spawn. And it says that he did a photo shoot this month instead of a drawing, and he made a background out of a shoebox with his mom. And his art teacher gave him an original sculpted spawn head. Because his art teacher also does spawn toy photography. And that's so cool. This kid's, like, eight years old, and his mom's buying him raven spawn action figures and letting his teachers give him meatball head spawns. Decapitated meatball head spawns. Man, my mom wouldn't let me have those figures when I was that age. That's awesome.
[00:51:11] Speaker B: Probably would have.
[00:51:12] Speaker A: But then AJ sends in some cover art.
[00:51:15] Speaker C: Man, AJ's cover art is pretty great too.
[00:51:18] Speaker A: I feel like he was also put in a fan art not too long.
[00:51:27] Speaker C: Ago, because I've seen this exact style before.
[00:51:29] Speaker A: It's good.
[00:51:30] Speaker C: I can't remember if I've seen it on instagram or here. He does.
[00:51:33] Speaker A: He looks very grumpy.
[00:51:35] Speaker C: He wears the crown well, though.
[00:51:37] Speaker B: That's good.
[00:51:37] Speaker C: But he looks grumpy because heavy is the head, Johnny.
[00:51:40] Speaker B: Heavy is the head that wears the crown.
[00:51:42] Speaker A: Don't I know it.
[00:51:44] Speaker B: Don't I fucking know it, David.
[00:51:48] Speaker C: Johnny is the monarch of his own little toy portal room.
He gets people from other universes coming in all the time, being like, Mr. King Johnny there. We got our advertisements for all the other series medievals in the back and. Yeah, medievals, the toy advertisement on the last page.
[00:52:12] Speaker A: And it's a real good one. It's a real good one, man.
[00:52:15] Speaker C: I know I say this every time I see it, but Johnny, I love that freaking acting figure.
[00:52:19] Speaker A: It's so good. It's pretty great.
Such a good figure.
And that's Kingspawn 22. That's Kingspawn 22 straight to you now, Johnny, I think there's nothing left to.
[00:52:35] Speaker C: Do but rate these puppies.
[00:52:37] Speaker A: It's time to rate them. Rate the puppies.
[00:52:45] Speaker B: First up, we had the excellent spawn.
[00:52:49] Speaker A: 308 return to form.
[00:52:53] Speaker C: It's real good.
[00:52:54] Speaker B: I'm going to give it five hot hobbies.
[00:52:57] Speaker C: Five hot hobies.
[00:52:58] Speaker B: Five hot hobies.
[00:53:00] Speaker A: Oh, man.
[00:53:03] Speaker C: He's that hot that.
I have a friend who called it critter.
He's the guy you take home to your home, like once or twice, but never home to mom.
[00:53:15] Speaker B: He's a critter.
[00:53:16] Speaker C: He is.
[00:53:16] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:53:17] Speaker C: He's a critter.
[00:53:18] Speaker B: Yeah. He looks cool.
[00:53:19] Speaker A: I like him.
[00:53:22] Speaker C: I'm going to give it four and a half. Flipping the birds.
[00:53:25] Speaker A: Nice is what I'm going to give it.
[00:53:27] Speaker C: We very rarely get a flipping the bird and spawn, and so we got to use that when we can.
[00:53:32] Speaker B: I will say I did like, I love the art. I loved his Jessica when she's like, awesome. Just such attitude just from that one.
[00:53:45] Speaker C: It's great.
[00:53:46] Speaker B: Really good issue.
[00:53:47] Speaker C: So good.
[00:53:48] Speaker B: What can I say?
[00:53:49] Speaker C: Well, you can say it's a really good issue.
[00:53:51] Speaker B: It's everything you want from spot.
[00:53:52] Speaker A: That's what I'd say.
It's real good.
[00:53:55] Speaker B: Setting up some cool stuff that becomes big.
[00:53:58] Speaker A: That's the other thing is, that's the.
[00:54:00] Speaker B: Other thing about the raptor stuff. It's like, I know this doesn't really matter because it hasn't really. I can see the through lines from.
[00:54:05] Speaker A: This to where we are now in.
[00:54:08] Speaker B: A lot of the different books, but I couldn't see anything with Raptor. Maybe we'll come back around to it.
[00:54:12] Speaker A: I don't know. But I'm glad to be moving beyond.
[00:54:14] Speaker B: Raptor back with all the spawns coming together.
[00:54:17] Speaker A: This is great.
[00:54:18] Speaker C: It'll be fine to have a. Oh, okay, Raptor.
[00:54:21] Speaker A: That's fine. But it's good to be out of it.
[00:54:25] Speaker C: Good to be out of that particular Malbolge.
[00:54:28] Speaker B: Exactly. It was quite a trench.
[00:54:31] Speaker A: Yeah, I'm trying to normalize the use.
[00:54:33] Speaker B: Of that word, David.
[00:54:34] Speaker A: I'm trying to normalize it.
[00:54:36] Speaker B: I'm just going to say Malbols all the time. I'll be like, oh, it's hotter than the Malibu out there.
I'll say the challengers, they'd actually get it.
[00:54:45] Speaker A: Yeah, that would be fun.
[00:54:46] Speaker C: Well, I mean, they're pretty influential people. They talk to a lot of people, so maybe they'll spread it out, and then maybe some linguists someday will be like, well, there was a strange rise of the popularity of the term Maobols in early 2020.
We could trace it back to the west side of Chicago.
[00:55:08] Speaker B: Hey, don't be doxxing me on, Mike.
[00:55:11] Speaker C: I'm not trying to dox you. I think that's pretty great.
[00:55:14] Speaker B: That's pretty broad. West side. I'm saying.
[00:55:16] Speaker A: I am kidding.
I'm kidding.
[00:55:20] Speaker C: I could say the east side of Chicago, but that would be.
[00:55:23] Speaker B: I know. Yeah. That's where challengers is. Everyone knows I go to challengers. Come kill me. Go get me there.
[00:55:29] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:55:31] Speaker B: Cash me outside.
[00:55:33] Speaker A: How about that?
[00:55:37] Speaker C: What are you going to give King 22?
[00:55:38] Speaker B: Jenny King spawn 22?
[00:55:41] Speaker A: Yeah. Oh, man. It's like, fun. Like, fight brains.
[00:55:47] Speaker B: A cool reveal.
I don't know if I give it a five, though. I think I'm going to give it four.
[00:55:54] Speaker A: I'm going to give it four.
[00:55:57] Speaker B: Sploshing knees.
[00:55:59] Speaker A: Oh, nice.
[00:56:00] Speaker B: That knee gets shot.
[00:56:01] Speaker A: Sploshing.
[00:56:02] Speaker C: Like, looking at it makes my knee great. I'm also going to give it four.
I'm not going to give it four. Teeth knocked out of Sam's mouth. I'm going to give it four. Sam showing his wand.
[00:56:21] Speaker A: Look at this shit.
Can you believe this?
[00:56:25] Speaker C: Because nobody else would even think to even bother.
[00:56:31] Speaker A: Be like, he's not going to fucking care.
[00:56:34] Speaker C: But Sam's just like, look at this bullshit.
[00:56:37] Speaker A: Oh, man.
[00:56:40] Speaker C: Sam doesn't take a lot of the shit that people take from Spawn. Like, he's just gotten to the point, we're coworkers.
I know he's going to be a jerk sometimes, but we got to work together.
[00:56:52] Speaker B: Yeah.
[00:56:56] Speaker C: Just that spawn's looking down at it, and he's just like, what the hell, dude? Like, what the hell?
What the hell?
It's just a wonderful little moment.
[00:57:08] Speaker A: Oh, man, that's some good shit, Johnny.
[00:57:12] Speaker B: That is some good shit.
[00:57:13] Speaker A: That's some good shit. Speaking of Sam being real good.
[00:57:19] Speaker B: Yes.
[00:57:21] Speaker C: Speaking of this being our 52nd episode.
[00:57:25] Speaker B: Yes. We've been good. We've done good work.
[00:57:28] Speaker C: We've done good work.
I know we happen to have.
[00:57:37] Speaker A: A.
[00:57:37] Speaker C: Couple of no longer in print action figures.
[00:57:42] Speaker A: Correct.
[00:57:43] Speaker C: Thematically fit in with today. So what do you think about maybe doing a double vintage todd's toy talk?
[00:57:51] Speaker B: I think that would be awesome. And I cannot wait to open this figure.
[00:57:56] Speaker C: Hell, yeah.
[00:57:57] Speaker B: It's time for Todd soy talk.
What do we have here, Dave? What if this is monumental? What do we have here for 52nd episode?
[00:58:19] Speaker C: You were going to introduce to the people what we were going to do.
[00:58:24] Speaker B: All right.
[00:58:24] Speaker A: Yeah.
[00:58:24] Speaker C: Because you're much better at introducing the toys than I am.
[00:58:27] Speaker A: So this is spawn, classic comic covers.
[00:58:32] Speaker B: Series 25, salmon Twitch. Like, this is an awesome figure.
[00:58:37] Speaker A: I mean, it's like a work of art.
[00:58:40] Speaker B: But this is that clamshell packaging from.
Let's see. I'm saying, like, 2004 five. Yeah, 2004, it says. So this is that clamshell packaging from around those early 2000s McFarland. And this is the stuff you'd see at, like, sam Goody and suncoast and places like that.
[00:58:58] Speaker A: Hastings. But they have these salmon twitch, and they are fucking awesome.
[00:59:07] Speaker B: It's based off the salmon Twitch issue number 22, cover art with Sam and Twitch in black and white.
[00:59:14] Speaker C: It includes a miniature version of the comic book cover in the package. Yes.
[00:59:20] Speaker A: Looking at the back here, Johnny, I.
[00:59:23] Speaker C: Can see one in particular that you might be interested in getting.
[00:59:29] Speaker A: Which one?
[00:59:31] Speaker C: Well, obviously, it's biker chick. See inside for more detail.
[00:59:35] Speaker B: Oh, boy.
Biker chick.
[00:59:39] Speaker C: Based on interior artwork of Hellspawn, issue number six. Okay, Hellspawn is that super intense reboot that they had written by Ashley.
[00:59:53] Speaker A: I forget their last name.
Okay.
[00:59:56] Speaker C: Real hard to find now, though.
Hopefully they'll re release.
Hopefully.
[01:00:02] Speaker A: Hopefully.
[01:00:03] Speaker C: That Raven spawn is looking.
That Raven spawn is great creatures. Looking good.
[01:00:10] Speaker B: These all look awesome redeemer. But this day on Twitch, too, this is like, the.
[01:00:18] Speaker C: Friend, our friend back in Oklahoma, Justin Haley, came across it, and he was like, which one of you boys wants this? And then a couple of days later, you were actually approached, right, by one of your coworkers, and he's like, hey, I found this thing. Do you want it? And we were like, these things are hard to find.
[01:00:38] Speaker B: We found it, like, days of each other. It was so.
[01:00:41] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah, it's so, uh, why don't.
[01:00:45] Speaker C: We quit faffing about, Johnny?
[01:00:47] Speaker B: Time to cut it open here.
[01:00:48] Speaker C: Time to cut it open.
[01:00:49] Speaker B: Oh, boy. All the way from 2004. It's been sealed for over 20 years.
[01:00:54] Speaker A: Oh, man. These boys.
[01:00:56] Speaker C: Almost 20 years.
[01:00:57] Speaker B: These boys are itching to get out. Yeah, almost 20 years.
[01:01:00] Speaker A: I don't want to cut the paper.
[01:01:01] Speaker B: Part because I want to look at that bike. I got to order that biker check.
Okay, I'm cutting it. I'm using the scissors to cut up the top. Yeah, these ones are hard to open.
[01:01:13] Speaker C: Yeah, you're going to have to go to toy de jour and go to the back of the shop where they've got a room that's got that beaded curtain on it.
[01:01:23] Speaker B: Oh, God.
[01:01:24] Speaker C: All the horny toys.
[01:01:25] Speaker B: So they have all the horny toy, all the gen 13 witchblade figures.
McFarland's Wiz, twisted land of Oz. They had, like, a Dorothy figure. That's all SNM. I remember that.
[01:01:38] Speaker C: It's got the doll that Barbie is based off of that was literally breathe.
[01:01:46] Speaker B: In the air from 2004. When you get into it, David. Oh, my God.
You can taste the air.
[01:01:54] Speaker C: Man.
That was the year of man, the 2004 Santa Clara Vanguard drum line, y'all. If you don't know, google it.
Probably the best line ever.
Oh, holy fuck.
I think that just messed with some of my brain chemicals, Johnny.
[01:02:22] Speaker A: I know.
[01:02:24] Speaker C: Oh, man, that's some good pleasure.
[01:02:28] Speaker B: You have to go online to get the complete figure assembly instructions for this.
[01:02:32] Speaker C: There's assembly instructions?
[01:02:33] Speaker B: No, I think you're supposed to go online. I don't think you need them. Really?
Okay, so you take it out. I got the little mini comic book here. Mini comic book?
Were you in the stages? Okay, I pulled them out.
Oh, man. That was some stinky ass plastic. I did get high off that.
[01:02:53] Speaker A: Wow.
[01:02:53] Speaker B: I think I lost a brain cell huffing this thing. All right, here they are.
[01:03:06] Speaker C: Johnny, we have a special guest on the pod right now.
We have in the house, for the first time in many years, an actual puppy.
[01:03:17] Speaker A: Oh, wow. Like seven weeks old.
[01:03:20] Speaker C: And she is here on the mic.
[01:03:21] Speaker A: You want to say hi to little puppy? You wanna say hi?
[01:03:23] Speaker B: Hey, puppy.
Send me a picture of the puppy.
[01:03:27] Speaker C: Oh, yeah, we will definitely put a.
[01:03:29] Speaker A: Picture of the puppy up.
[01:03:30] Speaker C: I'll put her next to Sam and twitch.
I can make them write her.
[01:03:35] Speaker A: That's awesome.
[01:03:36] Speaker C: She's cringer from masters of the universe.
[01:03:41] Speaker B: Oh, man, it's got a chair.
[01:03:44] Speaker C: It's an office chair, man.
[01:03:46] Speaker B: It's like a crazy old office chair.
[01:03:49] Speaker C: I do like.
[01:03:52] Speaker A: That.
[01:03:52] Speaker C: The twist ties are here.
[01:03:54] Speaker B: Yeah, those are nice. Those are a lot better than the other thing.
This is hilarious. I love this chair. This is a great figure.
[01:04:02] Speaker C: You've got them out of the package already?
[01:04:04] Speaker B: Oh, yeah, man.
[01:04:06] Speaker C: I'm still stuck with the twist eyes. You obviously have much more practice with this than I do.
[01:04:09] Speaker B: Oh, yeah. I was still buying McFarland figures when these were coming out.
I probably stopped buying figures around, like.
[01:04:18] Speaker C: 2005 or six for twitch to stand on. That's awesome.
[01:04:23] Speaker B: That is like a monolith to Sam. That is a crazy figure.
[01:04:27] Speaker C: We got Sam, who needs to read about stop smoking because he's got three cigarettes in his mouth, one in his hand.
[01:04:34] Speaker B: Yeah, he needs to read that Alan Carr. That I did. Twitch has two guns just like fucking like a badass.
[01:04:41] Speaker C: That's twitch, man. I like how they've even modeled on the chair. They've modeled like, the warp of it, the cushion to be all.
[01:04:52] Speaker A: Yeah, yeah.
[01:04:54] Speaker B: This is awesome. Oh, my God. He sits in it perfectly. It's so.
[01:04:58] Speaker A: I like how statue shoe.
[01:05:00] Speaker C: I like how the footrest is broken, too.
[01:05:03] Speaker B: Yep. I mean, the detail on this is.
[01:05:07] Speaker C: Like, you know, that that's sort of the budget they're working with in their little office that they have. The only thing it's missing is the car.
[01:05:16] Speaker B: Mean. This is like the heyday of McFarland figures, man. This is a high production value thing.
Like, if this came out, I think.
[01:05:25] Speaker A: It was like $60 for it.
[01:05:27] Speaker B: If this came out today, it would probably be like almost $60 because just the production value on it.
[01:05:32] Speaker A: So nice, if not more. Damn figure is like, fucking amazing. Yeah.
[01:05:42] Speaker C: He'S so skinny and he doesn't stand up straight. He's like at an angle.
[01:05:46] Speaker B: Yeah. It's just such a great interpretation of.
[01:05:49] Speaker A: The COVID So cool.
[01:05:53] Speaker C: There's just so much action going on.
These are the detail action figures. Not in that you can play with them to make action, but that they have so much action just built into their static.
And his finger actually goes on the trigger, it looks like.
[01:06:12] Speaker B: Yep.
[01:06:14] Speaker A: Dang.
Get in there, gun.
[01:06:19] Speaker C: Get in there, gun.
[01:06:20] Speaker B: Setting him up. These are awesome. Yeah, he's like lean. He's got that lean on.
[01:06:24] Speaker A: That's so cool.
[01:06:26] Speaker C: Well, Goldarn, this is so cool.

[01:06:50] Speaker B: I don't think that ever came out, by the way. I remember that. I don't think that came out. The McFarland monsters, part three.
[01:06:56] Speaker A: Oh, man.
[01:06:56] Speaker C: What about the movie maniac seven?
[01:06:58] Speaker B: I don't know. But there was no Jack the Ripper.
