J Scott Campbell and Todd McFarlane Recreate Jessica Priest in Spawn #300 (Spoilers)

Published Wed, 04 Sep 2019 08:30:14 -0500

Jessica Priest was a character created by necessity. In the original Spawn comic book, it was revealed that Al Simmons had been originally killed (and then sent to hell) by the Youngblood character Chapel. Owned (then) by Rob Liefeld, the character couldn't be used in the movie, so Jessica Priest was created to replace his role. And then, in the comic, Jessica Priest was introduced and revealed as the actual assassin who killed Al Simmons, under the command of Jason Wynn.

She has returned in recent issues of Spawn, where she is seen chatting with Nyx about Al Simmons and how the forces of Hell will now target anyone who has ever made contact with him.

But in today's Spawn #300, in a scene pencilled by J Scott Campbell and inked by Todd McFarlane, she's seems to be doing something about that to protect herself…

Welcome to a new Spawn character. First appearance Spawn #300.

That's as She-Spawn. First appearance of Jessica Priest in the Spawn movie played by Melinda Clarke. First appearance of Jessica Priest in the comics, Spawn #61 in 1997. For those who like to keep count…
