re: Todd McFarlane, sorry to hear that. Dunno what he did to you but, He must deserve your hate for it.
i was just starting out in the comic industry,i was 14 and i had some jobs lined up and i was working the nassua 2 show and they gave people like me access to people and areas the public couldn't go...so my friend who has worked with todd said he would bring me to meet him and we waited for a break in the signing and we went to see him.
the guy i was with told me to show what i was working on so i did after the meet and greet..and this is when todd looked at the stuff and looked to the guy "this is fucking garbage,why did you hire this kid...he'll never be anything." i was just destroyed by that and i quit doing comics that week...it wasn't until recent years that i made it my mission to return to comics to make something far and away better than the shit todd puts out....
it wasn't till years later i found that todd really is a dick to up and coming people...when i first met him it was just as spawn first came out so it wasn't like he was everywhere...i can just imagine many a guy who gave up thanks to him and his ego...
the next few times i met him i was working for a comic shop at the shows and he would take a walk around...he remembered me and made it a point to be a dick to me....i guess i was the only 14 year old actually in the industry on a pro level...i don't know...i was weird looking too so of course i could be remembered...i was the punk rock kid at the show
but to let you know a cool guy...joe quesada,i got a job inking a book for the friend who introduced me to todd and he wanted me at his table at a show...joe came by on a break and actually hung out with us...possibly the coolest moment in comics...he liked my sketchbook and actually had me draw some stuff for him...this was long before he rejoined marvel and became editor in chief....he was kind of sad to hear that i'd quit doing comics and only did the inking for the quick cash...i told him the todd stories and he blurted out "todd did that shit to me man."
at that point i left comics entirely...todd killed any love i had for the medium...joe understood and wished me luck and hope i'd come back someday...

I work security at concerts, open air festivals etc and have met a few musicians, you would be surprised who are the dicks and who are cool.
Sorry to hear about that shit with Todd.
the dude sued and got a a million bucks for that....my career ended with my back being broken at ozzfest a few months later...had i been maybe a foot closer i'd be a millionaire...
you see with todd he started doing these debates with people and he had an article in wizard about how great he was...so he's really out there with the ego...think about it...he bought the mark mcgwire homerun ball anonamously....then he started a tour for the ball and to show how cool he is...if i bought something privately i'm going to keep it quiet...
i have alot of stories...
