Spawny, a.k.a. Baby-Spawn, is back, and he’s not happy. The character, part of Todd McFarlane’s Spawn universe, will star in a five-issue miniseries Spawn Kills Every Spawn, by Chew writer John Layman, artist Rob “Sketchcraft” Duenas, and colorist Robert Nugent that will kick off in July 2024. The action-comedy series is set at a Spawn convention, Spawn-Con, and features Spawny reacting very badly to the news that not only is he not the most popular Hellspawn, he is the least popular. So badly, in fact, that he decides to eliminate the competition by killing all the others. The first issue will be released on July 1, 2024, with Cover A by Duenas and Cover B by McFarlane.
“From the very outset of our first miniseries starring our adorable little maniac, fans have been bugging me to bring him back once again for another series of mayhem," said McFarlane in a statement accompanying the announcement. "This time around, the wonderful art by Rob puts so much detail into the pages, I think readers will be going back through each book to find all the visual Easter Eggs he has planted within the story. And John Layman has brought his own sense of absurd cuteness to this story so that you are both shocked and smiling at what is unfolding in front of you. The overwhelming support for this tiny, little character has been quite surprising to me.”
McFarlane announced a major expansion of the Spawn universe in February (see “McFarlane to Expand Spawn Universe”).
