I remember when image first came out, Todd McFarland got the exact same treatment Eric July got for his writing in his books. He even had his own mob trying to get him to go out of business by saying the products are awful. If HE can survive all that I know for a fact Eric July can. Now all these people do is kiss Todd's ass, act like he's the best thing ever and call him a comic book God now. Oh and I'm sure you all knew this but Image is still around too. If Image can survive these tribalistic weirdos, I know Rippaverse can as well. Hell it's still doing better than anything CG is doing, and that's during the campaign....I do wonder how many people bought them after they ended, but I have seen quite a few new people like what they see when they did. Hell I wouldn't be surprised if ended up kissing Eric July's ass when this is all said and done. Meanwhile EVS and all the rest of his little goon squad are going to be nothing and end up lost in the void of obscurity.I think the biggest problem Spawn had was some of the other creatives McFarland decided to work with and the legal issues after that. It shows you have to be careful about sharing IP with other people even if you get along with them at the time.
Remember Richard's elevator pitch for a complete rewrite of Spawn where he changed the characters backstory, the lore of the Spawn universe, Spawn's appearance and his relationship with his wife? (Everything except the costume, basically.)
I expect Todd will contact him for his wonderful ideas any day now.
