Rated 5 out of 5 stars
What the movie should have been
It is close to the comics, dark, and ultimately cancelled too soon. Moral of the series: it's never good to be spawn.

Good series, great packaging
The series is reaally good, especially since it has all three seasons! The metal packaging is AWESOME!

An Original, Unique Adult Cartoon
I picked this up at my local Best Buy because the DVD boxart captured my eye. The beautiful obviously hand-drawn artwork was so captivating that it was all I needed to buy it. I had never heard of Spawn before this, but there is a reason for that. This show is based on a comic book series and aired 18 episodes between 1997 and 1999 before ultimately being canned by HBO.
The series is slow-moving and confusing at times, also all the episodes are very hit and miss. Out of these 18 episodes, a handful are not worth the half-hour it takes to make their point. Others in the set are very much worth it. It being a cartoon turns a lot of viewers off as well. I bought this set a year ago and just now finished watching it. This is because you have to be in the right mood to really enjoy the series. It's for a select taste I suppose I am trying to say.
These 18 episodes are not horrible, but they also are not for the faint of heart. I bought the last copy at the Best Buy in my area and learned later that the DVD set had been discontinued. If you are interested, you'll have to buy this online somehow.
