These were the original solicitations to Spawn #306. #309 and #310 by Todd McFarlane and Ken Lashley. The series was put on pause and when it returned, Spawn #308 reflected real-life topical events, though the pandemic played out slightly differently in the Spawnverse. But now it seems that the series is undergoing other changes. Thee were the original solicitations for Spawn in September and October.
