Crossover #2 Teases Spawn For Crossover #3
Yesterday saw the publication of Crossover #2, the new comic book by Donny Cates and Geoff Shaw. We'vemnetioned how orders for the upcoming Crossover #3 are double those of #2, anticipating appearance of Spawn within the pages as well as on the promoted cover by Todd McFarlane. Well, Crossover #2 seems to have made that more likely, as we see the escaped superheroes from the "event" imprisoned…
Recognisably the likes of Batman, Wonder Woman and The Thing are included. And while this seemed very familiar, if was the following panel that confirmed where this was going.
Not only is that Spawn's hand and cloak, but it directly references Spawn #10 from almost twenty years ago, by Dave Sim and Todd McFarlane.
There is also another individual kept separate from the rest.
Which may refer to the final page of Crossover #1…
But in Crossover #2 there is another individual kept separately.
Someone who knows everything before it happens – and who writes things.
Never mind Ellie – could this be the writer himself? Donny Cates, signing himself with three dots. And somehow omniscient? Or, given the similarities between Crossover and Good Omens already, could this be their version of Agnes Nutter? Either way, Crossover #2 is the first appearance of Spawn in Crossover, not Crossover #3… for those of you keeping count.
