[.ca] Spawn 3: The Ultimate Battle (Full Screen) (Animated) (ISBN 078311494X)

From Amazon.com:
The third chapter of this compelling HBO miniseries answers a number of questions: namely, who is the omnipotent old man who hides in the shadows and why is the mysterious Asian reporter (Jade) investigating the alley murders? Spawn has reached a crossroads, and he must choose between the forces of darkness and light. But it's not clear-cut: Al (Spawn) must deliberate over the seemingly minor differences that separate heaven and hell in his world. As a former assassin for the NSA, he "opened the eyes of hell" with his iniquitous deeds of depravity, therefore his journey to hell was preordained. But this particular section of the series intriguingly asks, What if you had no choice, and killing was not just the only way out of a squeeze but was also your fate? Intellectual stuff indeed. But as with the rest of the series, a profound metaphysical puzzle is bought to the fore without justifying it with an answer. Spawn can be frustrating in this way--just when you think you have it all figured out, the creators throw a mysterious curve ball that brings you back to square one. This doesn't take anything away from the overall enjoyment of the story--in fact it enhances it, for it keeps you firmly planted in your chair, pondering conundrum after conundrum. Once again, Keith David lends his haunting baritone vocalizations to the supernatural, tortured voice of Spawn. --Jeremy Storey

Extremely Dark Third Season:
The movie was one of the worst I had seen in my life. I did not have high hope for the animated series but I was very much surprised. The dialogue and, bizzarly enough, the acting are a hundred times as good as the film and the plot and characters are also much more intriguing. This is the third season of Spawn and it just seems to be getting darker and darker. But the one thing I can be sure of from this is that it's going to have one hell of a send-off when the entire story finally climaxes. I'd start watching this if I were you. But be prepared. The violence is quite graphic and the overall tone of the stories ranges from kiddie fiddlers to satanic demons. Needless to say, it's not a cartoon for kids. It's an animated series for adults. The DVD is in full screen format, as originally drawn and is in Dolby 2.0 surround.

Now this is Spawn:
I love the animated version, not that i'm a fan of the comic but when i saw the animated show at HBO which was actually a pilot episode, featured crazy charecters, a dark detective, and now one of my all time favorites, Spawn, it just got me buzzin and hungry for more of this new out of this world dark animation. This is a dark, very dark and mature tv show and provides sarcastic humor, chillers, suspense, thriller, drama and action. If you liked Outlaw Star or The Big O, then make no exeption to get this DVD Special Collectiors edition of Spawn, because by the end of the night, Spawn will be what you regurarly watch.

Great series, worst menu ever:
This third season of the animated Spawn is more of the good stuff - its dark, compelling and interesting. The ending has obviously got a 4th season in mind, which is not going to happen as far as I know. I highly recommend all three seasons of Spawn. Do be aware that the menu for this disc is the worst design ever in the history of ever. On my player (a PS II): a) it defaults to the commentary, not the normal sound for the film. Fix this by scrolling through to "Languages", but note you have to do this every time you put the disc in the player. b) the menu starts at "Play movie" and an arrow. Use the arrow to move to the next menu option. You then have to wait for the music to play, stop and then start again. Once its done that you can access that option or scroll through further. Immense pain, terrible design. BUT its Spawn and its excellent content, so love the disc, hate the menu.

Brilliant 3rd season from Mc Farlane:
Spawn without a shadow of a doublt one of the most darkest and deepest animated series ever made. It is a very sad story wich all you spawn fans should know. I am a big fan Of spawn. I have just about every issue and ones to date but the movie was good to even thoe it flat out sucked. When I first saw a promo for it on HBO I thought this was gonna blow chuncks. I was wrong. The series is one of the best! Very Mature! The series does contain Graphic language,Nudity,Graphic Violence(lots of it! You see chains go through a guys mouth and rip his jaw open.) The series like I said is the best! 1st season(which was very graphic) was like the worm up for season two(wich was very dark and graphicly violent....dont let the kids see this season.) Season 3 was a bit different from the bullit shot to twitch in the head to seeing sam go insain cause of spawn to terry still being on the run to Spawn confronting his wife as someone els and having sex with her. This season was dark,graphic and grimy...I still enjoyed it but..........there were a few holes they left out like after the very end of season 3 it left alot of people thinking. What exactly happining and when is there going to be a 4th season. I Hope they come out with a first season than that would leave alota questions behind such as what happend with wanda and what about the whole baby issue. BRing a season 4!!!! I recently found out there is a dvd series!!! AWSOME!! All I have of the series are the taped episodes and the entire vhs season videos. The vhs versian is pretty good(If you got it when it first came out in stores before the whole dvd era camne) But I am gonna probably go to best buy and buy all the seasons there. ESSPECIALLY SEASON 2!! Season 2 was the best in the series. We notice a more darker spawn. Well I cant really recommend this to you since I dont have it on dvd but who care I recomend you get on any. I recomend you get it for vhs or dvd. Doesnt matter just as long as youre watching so get either cause there awsome even though dvd has better quality But like I said WHO CARES just as long as youre watching the damn thing! I can Relate this to other great hits such as Aeon Flux series and The Maxx(wich was very confusing and sad for me) So if you want a good dark grimmy cartoon with loads of mature content get the spawn series on dvd or vhs. AND GET THE COMICS!!!!!!THERE NOT DISSAPOINTING

An Excellent Cartoon:
I use the term cartoon lightly, because Spawn is anything but a cartoon. It's got some good animation, but it's not kids animation. It is a very dark and twisted tail of both love, death, mentality and politics. And all of this coming from an animated show is brilliant. The first two seasons basically set up the premise. The first season set the plain and the second season fleshed out all the characters. Now, the third season is where everything starts getting cooler. To start, we have some more words thrown back and fourth between Spawn and the old man who use to be one himself. He has many names, but you can just call him Merlin. Despite the help Merlin offers to the Spawn, Al still refuses to trust Merlin. He lets his anger for not being able to see Wanda consume him, but you already knew that. There are also some new characters introduced. The newest one is a hunter from heaven named Jade, aka Woo the reporter. She is after the Spawn, but soon show an interest in him. Also, many characters get some more character development here. Like the detective, Twitch, comes too close to the truth about Spawn, his own superiors conspire to kill him which makes Twitches partner want to lash out. There are also "one-shot-characters" that are quite intersting like Al's mother (granny), Al's old friend and a hooker\svampire. DVD extras here are great. Aside from the featurette and music videos, there is audio commentary by Todd McFarlane. What more could you ask for? Overall, Spawn 3 is the best season of Spawn yet. If you haven't seen this show, do so now. It is more than what it seems.
