Todd McFarlane Does Jim Lee For Spawn: Scorched #3

Some comic book publishers issue new variant cover, timed to be released for Final Order Cut-Off date to help persuade comic book retailers to bump their numbers a little. Todd McFarlane has, it seems, run out of time for the cover to Spawn: Scorched #3, up for FOC from Image Comics today. Which is why he is releasing a work in progress, a homage of the Jim Lee and Scott Williams cover to X-Men #1 from over thirty years ago. Though just posting in on Instagram, leaving many retailers none the wiser. Let's see if we can fill that gap!
