One of the best cartoons I’ve ever watched, Spawn the series still holds up after nearly 10 years. Definately the best thing the Spawn franchise has to offer, improving on practically everything that made the comic book enjoyable. If you’ve never had the pleasure of watching it, then give it a shot. The DVD season sets typically cost under $10 bucks.

Check out my full review, Right Here!

Spawn the series ran on HBO late nights from 1997 to 1999. In my honest opinion, it was an overall improvement over not only the dreadful live action film, but even the original comics from which it was derived. The comics had their ups and downs and at the beginning were much more of a superhero title; constantly pitting Spawn against super villains and making reference after reference to Rob Liefeld’s Youngblood comic. The series, on the other hand, was much less a comic book story and more decidedly a horror story. It’s presence on HBO allowed it to get away with some of the most shocking scenes ever presented by American animation and allowed the show to reach heights of nastiness which was not permitted even in the comic.
