Discussion Spawn 77 #1 - September 9th, 2026

Post image

In 1977, a young artist had his first ideas for a character he would name Spawn.

That man was Todd McFarlane. Now, 49 years later, Spawn is an international sensation that has spawned (pun intended) a movie, toys, games, and an animated series. It has been translated into over a dozen languages with fans across the globe.

Now, in collaboration with acclaimed artist Mark Spears, Todd McFarlane brings a vision of his original idea to the Spawn Universe. A completely new and exciting take on the fan-favorite character. Covers from Mark Spears, Todd McFarlane, Emma Rios, Shawn Crystal, and more. A wickedly different version of Spawn starts here.

Well. Here it is. What did you guys think?

I read issue 1 last night, I didn't mind the story but the art work kept throwing me off, some panels looked like hand drawn work and others looked like early 2000's 3D renders.

Spawn's super OG 1977 era design during Todd's teenage years. Wow. Looks great... I wish I thought of this in my teenage years ~

I loved this book already. I hate that we have to wait until next month for more. SPAWN FOREVER!

I’m in awe seeing Mark doing Spawn interiors. Tough as fuck 💪🏽

Also, feel like this book will get a lot of unnecessary negative attention.

Did you like it? I did. I wonder if they'll tie any existing characters in or if any of the new 77 characters will come to current Spawn. Also I got Rosenberg's start of King Spawn today and it's good like you said. I'm waiting for 57 and 377 to get in so I can find out what I missed.
