Image Comics Crossover – Spawn In Ghost Machine And/Or Massive-Verse?

Image Comics Crossover - will Spawn be in Ghost Machine and/or the Massive-Verse?

Published Thu, 17 Jul 2025 09:27:04 -0500

San Diego Comic-Con is almost here, and the comic book gossip is starting to heat up. Including that Todd McFarlane Productions is gearing up for a major reveal—but what could it be? A new Spawn movie? Fresh toys? Or perhaps more Spawn crossovers? If you know the Toddfather, you know to expect a bit of everything. However, a trusted source at Image Comics is hinting at something big: a new Spawn crossover spanning multiple interconnected titles, not just a one-shot like Blood Squad Seven. And this time, it's staying in-house—no DC crossover like the Spawn/Batman team-ups.

So, where's Spawn headed? We're placing our bets on either Ghost Machine's books or the Massive-Verse. The Civil War-era Redcoat seems to be setting the stage for the "ghost" in First Ghost, but characters like Gunslinger Spawn or Medieval Spawn might be too tricky to fit into that historical context. Meanwhile, the Massive-Verse feels like a stronger candidate. The 2023 Supermassive one-shot already teased a Spawn connection, making it a prime stomping ground for Al Simmons to shake things up. What do you think? Will Spawn rattle his chains in Ghost Machine's Unnamed universe? Or is Kyle Higgins' Massive-Verse about to get a dose of Spawnmania? We'll find out at San Diego… here are some panels and parties that might be worth attending for clues.
