That is quite the surprise. I'm sometimes forget that McFarlane is still publishing his book. If the world was fair, I would have thought that Invincible or The Walking Dead or Sea of Red or Godland would've topped the list.

That's quite strange. I suspect Walking Dead or Fell will probably be winner when TPB sales are taken into account

I haven't bought SPAWN since about issue 110, but I ordered #150 just for the heck of it. I like anniversary issues and I thought I'd check in on this book since it had been a while.

It just goes to show you that internet fandom is not all of fandom. Books with tremendous internet buzz are not necessarily successful or popular in the "outside" world.

And I'll be reading SPAWN #150, too, just for McFarlane's art.

Really? Toddy Mac is actually going to be putting pencil to page for the big anniversary issue? Guess I'll have to give this book the ol' flip test when it hits the stands.

Isn't he just co-writing and doing one of the four variant covers?

[Augie De Blieck Jr.]

Hunh. It looks like you're right:

I thought he was supposed to be pencilling it at some point, too. Damn.

Sorry for the false alarm.

-Augie, thankfully gets his copy comped

[dancj]

Well he has spent the last five years pencelling the story for the Image 10th, whoops 11th, woops 12th etc anniversary hardcover

Now, now, we all know that was Neil Gaiman's fault. ;-)
