King Spawn #50 Kicks Off A Crossover, in Spawn October 2025 Solicits

King Spawn #50 kicks of a Todd McFarlane crossover event in the Spawn October 2025 solicits and solicitations.

King Spawn #50 is the first of Todd McFarlane's titles to reach that number after the Spawn Universe relaunch over four years ago. But it won't be the last as he promises "an oversized issue with a story that will cross over into all three of the #50's coming out in the coming months" for King Spawn, Gunslinger Spawn and The Scorched. With "An ancient force, almost as old as time itself, has returned, and Spawn is in its sights. The story, sent into two chapters per issue, will be penciled by Stephen Segovia and Carlo Barberi." And a 1:1000 autographed variant by Todd.

Another Spawn series is starting. Liam Sharp launches the long-awaited return of Spawn: The Dark Ages in Image Comics' October 2025 solicits and solicitations. In his newsletter, he states, "I used my full wedded McCormack-Sharp name when I first drew Spawn: the Dark Ages back in the late 90s. I had only just got married, and it seemed like a good idea at the time! I dropped it shortly after to avoid future confusion… Funny to see it pop up again!"

Here are the other Spawn solicitations for October 2025 as part of Image Comics' solicits for the month.
