Todd McFarlane Productions Announces "The New U" Titles

Todd McFarlanes Spawn Universe is laying the foundation of a lineup of new comics called "The New U." This new era will follow the events of Spawn #350. The first three "The New U" comics are Sam & Twitch: Case Files, Rat City, and Monolith. "The New U" comics will span a variety of genres, including crime, horror, science-fiction, drama, and comedy.

Sam & Twitch: Case Files puts the detectives front and center in their own series. The comic hails from McFarlane and Jon Goff and artist Szymon Kudrański.

Sam & Twitch: Case Files #1 goes on sale on March 27, 2024.

Rat City, from Erica Schultz and Zé Carlos, follows Peter Cairn, ex-soldier, amputee, and Hellspawn in a post-war future. "But Peter isn't dead like Al. Peter got his Spawn powers from the nanites in his prosthetic legs—nanites that were affected when Al Simmons initiated his necroplasmic detonation in the present. Al had no clue that the effects would ripple across—not just space—and but time as well." (Image Comics)

Rat City #1 goes on sale on April 10, 2024.

Monolith, from Sean Lewis and Valerio Giangiordano, is a three part miniseries that explores the Hellspawn Monolith's origin and what his connection is with Omega Spawn.

Monolith #1 (of 3) goes on sale on May 15, 2024.

future state superman is so insane, it’s like “what if clark’s been gone so long, motherfuckers have erected churches in his name” and “what if jon had to pay therapy premiums bc of all of his daddy issues” and “what if kara and brainiac ‘brainy’ brain cells had a weird connection bc someone in dc editorial is addicted to brainy/kara” and WHAT IF SOMEONE WROTE JON WITH A LITTLE LOVE AND CARE SO WE COULD SEE HIM GROW AND LEARN FROM HIS MISTAKES

Scorched Volume 2 by Sean Lewis has brought to a close the first arc of this series with the Sin Devourers stopped and the Curse defeated. It did have a small tie in to the King Spawn series with regard to Al's goal of bringing Wanda back. It feels like they are setting up a divide between the team and Al with, but will have to wait and see.

I am wondering what's happening with Plague Spawn as well.

Like with the Gunslinger Spawn and King Spawn series, I'm going to read up to the points before Spawn #350 and then once the collected edition that has that issue is out (which looks like it could be next year), I'll read all of the volumes to see what happens and what the fallout of it all is. So with Scorched, I think I'll be reading volumes 3 & 4, and then that will be it until that point.

"Bear Pirate Viking Queen" by Sean Lewis and Jonathan Marks Barravecchia. Beautiful creation that challenges the idea of building empires....

[theplottdump]

Sean: Speaking of puking have you seen 009?

Kate: What? Why?

Sean: I told you. She owes me drinking money from last week.

Kate: What does that have to do with puking? Sean: I don't tell you everything. Kate: Ugh gross. Whatever. I think she's still dancing.

Sean: Well then, she probably could use a dance partner.

Kate: Too late 012, I think your competition just walked in.

Bear Pirate Viking Queen by Sean Lewis

"OUR PAST IS WHAT WE SHOULD FEAR. IT WILL COME AND TAKE OUR BONES FROM INSIDE OUR SKIN."

Despite some of the artwork being downright spellbinding, this book is a total bore. Worse than that, it's a an abstract, pretentious, sloppy bore with storytelling that's just about as poorly written as it is angry. And it's really f*cking angry.

Finally... God Save the Queen.

2/10

Mini Reviews: Bear Pirate Viking Queen's and Space Ghosts

Mini Reviews: Bear Pirate Viking Queen's and Space Ghosts. 2 reviews this week! #comics #comicbooks

Sometimes, the staff at Graphic Policy read more comics than we’re able to get reviewed. When that happens you’ll see a weekly feature compiling reviews of the comics, or graphic novels, we just didn’t get a chance to write a full one for. These are Graphic Policy’s Mini Reviews and Recommendations. Logan Space Ghost #2 (Dynamite) – David Pepose and Jonathan Lau start to probe into Space…

This is Spawn Point my regular-ish (is something regular if it is the only one?) posting about all things Spawn and his Universe. For now, I intend to mostly just catch up on the comics and the fallout from issue #350, as my school schedule opens up. To start things off below are my thoughts on the first issue of Monolith. 

As someone who is fascinated by Spawn and McFarlane Productions the announcement of a three-issue miniseries centered on Monolith made “sense” in the classical toyetic franchising logic that can be used to understand Spawn as a property. Monolith is the bruising hellspawn introduced in Spawn #313 as a heavy for Omega Spawn. Monolith quickly appeared as a megafig in the revitalized Spawn toy line, a situation not to dissimilar Tremor’s appearance in Spawn #25 and their appearance on toy shelves. This debut on toy shelves has at least followed with several appearances in The Scorched, also written by Sean Lewis. Even though Monolith looks like a late era Hordak henchmen, the supporting roles did give him more intertextual connectivity than the development and narrativizing at the core of Masters of the Universe. All this connectivity, however, failed to make anything stand out for his character. He added yet another stubborn, opinionated, and traumatized servant of hell to annoy and bicker with Jessica Priest. 

For all the franchising obviousness of this move, Monolith has a lot of work to do. Sean Lewis and Valerio Giangiordano must give this hunk of red the soul and dimensionality that justifies leading character status. To their credit the creative team appears to be on the right track with, surprisingly. This being a Spawn book, the art is also good reason to check it out with Valerio Giangiordano channeling a more graphic iteration of their work in Savage Avengers. I was at first cautious when I saw that Giangiordano line work wasn’t being colored by one of his more frequent collaborators, but Ulises Arreola proves to be quite complementary though let down a bit by the abundance of grey mandated by the space prison setting. Monolith #1 isn’t a groundbreaking narrative or pushes new formal ground, but it hits the basic expectations of good drama well enough. It has many of the quintessential elements of Spawn’s Universe, which may be one of the factors that proves to be unkind to new readers. 

If you wanted me to tell you the character motivation for Monolith, it would be a struggle. I could point to their supporting work protecting the planet in The Scorched in the late teens early twenties when the Greenworld was sending in interdimensional bugs to wipe out the planet and spread tale of his want to defend the living. There is his servile relationship to Omega Spawn in the Omega Island arc. Neither of these appearances, however, give me a sense of their character outside of the archtypical Heavy role they play. For some, and the rule-of-cool logic that animates Spawn aesthetically, it is enough. Once I found out that Valerio Giangiordano – one of the better Instagram follows – was the one doing art I at least knew this book would look cool. Monolith smashing fellow inmates into pieces with that oh so Spawn narration promising plans-within-plans to justify this spectacular violence are some of the best pages in this issue. With three double page splashes (or just over ¼ of this 20 page narrative) they better be spectacular. Arreola’s color palette shines in these moments of excess, he renders the environment in a more realist manner than you would expect. When Giangiordano art is colored it tends to go for a flatter more hue-oriented palette that doesn’t try to get in the way of Giangiordano’s inking. Arreola picks strong colors and then renders with just a enough value to give the appearance of dimensionality, that Monolith or Omega’s symbiotic skin reads as textured in ways the art teams on Spawn or Gunslinger Spawn do not.
