Next week's Image Expo is bound to have multiple announcements of new series, and one of them will come from Todd McFarlane. The "Spawn" creator said Friday on Facebook that he'll reveal the first details of a new series at the event...and the first eight issues are already completed.
"It's an idea that I've had for a while... and it's finally coming to fruition," McFarlane wrote. "Plus all the issues of this initial 8-issue miniseries are COMPLETELY done. That's right...over 180 pages of the story are finished."
McFarlane also stated that he'll talk more about the upcoming "Spawn" #250 at Image Expo, the anniversary issue set to bring Al Simmons back as the Hellspawn. That issue will lead directly to the "Spawn Resurrection" one-shot, solicited for release in February and intended to establish the book's new status quo. Brian Wood was lined up to be the new writer of the long-running Image series, but announced late last month that he was "removed from the job." A new series writer has not yet been named as of yet.
Image Expo will take place Thursday, Jan. 8 at the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts in San Francisco. Thanks to ComicBook.com for the tip.
