Summary: Great series
Comment:
I just loved the series when it aired on HBO and am glad to get all of the episodes in one box set.

BUT...they could have done more as far as special features...but overall a great buy!

Customer Rating:

Summary: set standards for american animation.
Comment: This HBO television program is definately way better than the Spawn live action movie that came out. there are 3 seasons with 6 episodes in each season. and a whole disc of special features. I do wish that some of the episodes were just stand-alone episodes instead of a 3 hour, 6-part movie. but they are still amazing.

Summary: Great Series
Comment: The episodes are awesome and I'm glad HBO showed this so it could be as violent as it is. Cartoons are so much better that way. Price was really good. Post office takes way to long to deliver but thats not Amazons fault.

Summary: An adult animated series, fantastic!
Comment: This is the best animated series ever produced. You don't have to know anything about Spawn to enjoy this. It is however, in my opinion for adults. It aired in the evenings on HBO. It's quite violent and also has sex scenes, you might want to be aware of this if you are thinking of ordering this for a young child. The series is the best interpretation of the comic story ever released. The movie was meant for a wider audience and as a fan of the comic book, I thought it was complete trash. This animated series is a must for anyone who likes super heroes and enjoys a good story. This really is a unique study of "good" and "evil". It really demonstrates how thin the line can become between the two. Spawn is a unique character and this is a very complex story. It's fantastic and is presented here in only the way HBO could afford McFarlane to do. Interested in knowing about Spawn but not interested in comics? Get this series. A fan of Spawn and never seen this? Shame on you!!

Summary: Spectacular Treatment of Material
Comment: Pulling heavily from the influences of anime, Spawn is a good treatment of the material. The first few story arcs in the comic Spawn were original, challenging, and complex. (Over time the comic would lose that aspect as they never altered the premise, which is finite.) But for a finite story, the animated Spawn is for adults what Batman: The Animated Series is for young folks (not to say it is not awesome for adults, I have all 4 seasons on DVD). The animation is smooth, voice acting strong... particularly Keith David who has had a successful and long carreer based on his talents... and the show is put together in such a way that anyone who likes animation could enjoy.
I wish the live-action movie had been half as strong as the animated series.

Evil begets evil. Hell begets hellspawn. Exploding from the comic book page onto the screen, Spawn is a deadly tornado of untapped, unwrapped merciless power. He was once a man...now he's a hellspawn, battling the forces of evil on earth...and in himself. Gradually discovering the terrifying power he possesses, Spawn fights to uncover the truth about his identity and fulfill his destiny.
