Gunslinger Spawn #1 Beats Spider-Gwen #1 With 385,000 Orders

Last week, I talked about his launch of Gunslinger Spawn #1 which went to FOC last night. Todd McFarlane asked me which new comic book character launch in a monthly superhero comic book has big numbers this century? I came up with a few possibles, but the highest (and only one this century) under his strict rules (no Loot Crates) was Spider-Gwen #1, which launched with around 300,000 copies ordered. Well, Gunslinger Spawn #1 has beaten it with 385,000 copies ordered by comic book stores. Todd McFarlane does love a record, claiming King Spawn #1 for the biggest superhero monthly comic book launch of the 21st century, and Spawn's Universe #1 as the biggest selling Image Comics title of the century (now beaten twice by Todd). We also reported on King Spawn #1 getting a second printing, we now know that was for 23,000 copies taking his total to 520,000 copies. So what's next? Todd wants Scorched #1 launching in December to set a record for a new team book. Might we have to go back to DV8?
