Spawn's Comic Book Sales Jump Up 25% With Gunslinger Spawn

Last year we reported on the Spawn-mania that Image Comics saw when the company's President Todd McFarlane surpassed his #300 milestone issue, broke a Guinness World Record, and danced in circles around Marvel's Absolute Carnage launch issue, but the momentum doesn't seem to be slowing down any as we saw Syfy release their Like Hell I Won't documentary about the comics legend's long career so far. Now we've learned Image Comics' recent Spawn #309 saw a 25% increase in orders over its previous issue #308 – and it's not just about Gunslinger Spawn.

There has been an increase in interest regarding the Spawn comic book of late. Collectors have been competing to buy mid-run issues of the series that launches with a million sales in the nineties but by the teens often saw issues struggle to reach five figures – which makes them a lot harder to find in the original printed issues if you are trying to collect an entire run. And with all the issue #300 fuss and revived interest in a movie directed by Todd McFarlane from Blumhouse, demand for the ongoing series, which Todd McFarlane has returned to contribute art to, new fans, readers and collectors are helping swell the ranks.

The solicitation details of the Spawn comic books have been changing, and so retailers have been given the chance to amend their orders. What is striking is that they seem to be amending them by increasing orders dramatically. It can't hurt that in this time where Marvel Comics is charging $4.99 for  twenty page story, Spawn only costs $2.99 for more than twenty pages – and plenty of dialogue to read as well as part of that Spawn #309 will be published on August 29th. Oh and we seem to have more changes since then – Part Two of the Consequences Of Sin is back – here is how the solicitations are looking now – including Gunslinger Spawn.
