Should Haunt be covered here?

[John Pannozzi]

Since Haunt is going to be featured in Spawn soon, and Todd has said that Haunt has always been set in the same universe as Spawn, maybe we could include all issues and characters/elements of Haunt in the site's database? Same with Angela's upcoming Marvel appearances?

Possibly...I'm of the opinion "let's wait and see".
Based on the cover image of Spawn 234, it seems likely that Haunt will be blended into the Spawn storyline. If he becomes more than just a cameo, then I would add his books and appearances.

So far, I only add books without Spawn if they contain a major character (Overtkill, Malebolgia, Violator, Angela, etc). Otherwise, they simply get added to the encyclopedia (like Savage Dragon, Cerebus, Shadowhawk, etc.)

As for Angela, I think it will depend on how they re-introduce the character. As I understand it, McFarlane no longer retains any rights to her (except reprint rights to her appearances in Spawn books). So it seems like her death in Spawn will be permanent. If that's the case, the Marvel-Angela is essentially a new character. If she has nothing to do with her history in Spawn, I'll treat her as such and not add her. But we'll see

The difference is that Dragon, Cerebus, Shadowhawk, etc. were created outside of the Spawn franchise and are owned/created by other people. Angela, however was created specifically for the Spawn series and was designed/co-created by Todd himself, so even if Todd no longer owns the character and the new version of Angela has no ties to the continuity of the original, I still feel the Marvel issues featuring her should be covered on the site, albeit off to the side in their own special section in the Spawn Books menu.
