Spawn

On the data. Two things: what to watch, and a legal fight that is part of the comic's history. What to watch is the HBO series. Eighteen episodes across three short seasons, made for adults, dark and slow and genuinely good. The 1997 film was made at the same time and is the opposite: rushed, badly served by its effects, and disowned by most of the people in it. Michael Jai White being the first Black actor to headline a major superhero film is the part of it worth remembering. The legal fight matters because it shaped the comic. Todd McFarlane invited several famous writers to write single issues early on, including Neil Gaiman, who created three characters in issue nine. A dispute over who owned those characters ran through the courts for over a decade and Gaiman won. Separately, McFarlane was sued by a former hockey player whose name he had used for a character, and lost that too. The characters Gaiman created have since largely been kept out of the comic. The comic itself is the longest continuously published creator owned comic there has been, past issue three hundred and sixty. McFarlane draws the covers and has written most of it. A reboot film has been announced repeatedly since 2017 with different casts attached and has not happened.
