TMcF was like a freaking genius when Spawn burst onto the scene, but his ego destroyed Spawn and everything related to it. The BEST thing he could do is give the license up to the likes of SSC or HT to make collectibles, and even sell the rights to NECA for 7" and 12" figures, but his pride and ego would prevent him from doing that.
I honestly think he doesn't want to be put to shame by another company, besides his brainchild TMP, tackling the Spawn license and blowing his garbage out of the water, and them being successful with it. His stuff was the shiznit when it first came out, but other companies came out and constantly improved and stepped their game up, whereas TMP got lazy and repetitive, and their product greatly declined.
He needs to wake up and realize Image comics will never hold a candle to the likes of Marvel and DC, and sell all of his licenses off and let the big boys take them over, and try to keep some royalties from the deal. That's about the only way Spawn will ever be anything again.
Todd McFarlane, you sir, are a joke!
