Todd McFarlane Launches Spawn Spinoff Misery #1 In June, Still $2.99

It was first promised in 2018. Now, in June, Todd McFarlane will be publishing Spawn spinoff Misery #1 drawn by Szymon Kudranski, at $2.99



Article Summary

  • Todd McFarlane's Misery #1 debuts in June, inspired by #MeToo movement.
  • Artist Szymon Kudranski joins McFarlane to bring Misery to life.
  • Misery's character utilizes emotional pain as a weapon, reflective of our times.
  • All McFarlane comic books maintain the exceptional $2.99 price point.

It was first promised oover six years ago, in 2018.  And now, finally, Todd McFarlane will be publishing Misery #1 drawn by Szymon Kudranski. At the time, he said it was "the perfect time for the character because of the #MeToo movement calling out sexual harassment. Her powers give her the ability to weaponize emotional pain. I think it's a good time to come up with something with the #MeToo happening," and that there's already interest in adapting Misery as a movie or television show. As for how Misery will distinguish herself, it's because she's a girl. "The dudes, we like to punch each other in the face," McFarlane explained. "She's gonna be more emotional." And also Cyan Fitzgerald, daughter of Spawn's former wife, Wanda, and best friend Terry, as first seen all that time ago in 1992 in Spawn #1… here's the solicit for Misery #1 as well as the other Spawn books in Image Comics' June 2024 solicits and solicitations. And all of McFarlane's book still incredibly hitting that $2.99 price point. The Kiladelphia crossover from Rodney Barnes however jumps up to $3.99, but that's Rodney, not Todd. (Now with added Monolith.)
