In the not so distant future, firefighter Griffin DeSanto has found himself a man out of time, stumbling into a harsh world of poverty, automation, and subjugation. Technology rules and a tech empire built on suffering keeps the population in check through surveillance and mechanized policing. Though lost, Griffin is never alone, he was brought here for a reason, and The Vengeful One is his guide. Conceived by Disturbed with Tim Seeley and Llexi Leon, Dark Messiah features writing by Seeley, the New York Times-bestselling creator of Hack/Slash, interior art by Angel Hernandez (Blade Runner), colors by Fran Gamboa, and covers by Ryan Christensen.

Each copy of the Scorched #1 limited quantity Signed 1:250 Retailer Incentive variant will be bagged and boarded and individually signed and numbered by McFarlane. Todd will be flying out to the Diamond headquarters in Baltimore prior to the release to the book and will personally select the best-of-the-best condition comic for each customer to be signed.
Image will be shipping these variants as close to the release date of the regular Scorched book as possible and will be packing them with additional care that they arrive at stores without damage. Because Image cannot guarantee that shipping damages will not occur in transit, there will be an opportunity for us to submit photo evidence of significantly damaged copies to Diamond Retailer Services at which point, Todd McFarlane will make every attempt to make sure that every customer is satisfied with their book. Note that Image does not guarantee any specific condition or minimum grade on the comics received. Damaged copies will also need to be sent back in order to qualify for a replacement.
Scorched #1 includes a 1:250 retailer incentive cover for retailers who order 250 copies. McFarlane will hand-sign and create a unique sequential number for each issue just like he did for the record-breaking King Spawn and Gunslinger Spawn #1 (based on the Final Order Cutoff total). Each signed Scorched #1 1:250 includes a CGC Certificate of Authenticity that retailers can send in and redeem though CGC to have their books graded. This is the only time McFarlane will sign the Scorched #1 1:250 incentive copy issue.
Author SEAN LEWIS and artists STEPHEN SEGOVIA & PAULO SIQUEIRA bring the Year of Spawn to a close by grabbing up all the various Hell-spawns and She-spawns and Redeemed Spawns and Spawns with hats and Spawns with swords, throwing them all into a dutch oven, and baking it like a delicious cobbler. Get your bowls and spoons and get ready to dig in. By now, hopefully you know what you are in for with this book. When these books were announced, the man-behind-it-all, TODD McFARLANE, promised an EVENT (in big letters), and I think it’s safe to say he, and his many co-conspirator, delivered. Old fans and new have come out of the woodwork to get in on it, the hype turned out to be very real indeed, and SPAWN is a blockbuster, as fate intended. With THE SCORCHED, it all gets tied up in a bow, and an infernal version of a classic superhero team has arrived. We made it, everybody! ADDITIONALLY… SPAWN creator, Image Comics co-founder and President, and master ink-slinger TODD McFARLANE himself, will be signing copies of this first issue, as an incentive when you order 250 copies. This will work the same as KING SPAWN, and GUNSLINGER SPAWN. Copies will be signed and numbered, shipped separately, and there is an option for CGC certification, if you are of that persuasion. Fans have been rabid for signed works from one of the most popular creators in modern comics, and this is the final chance at such an opportunity, in this, the YEAR OF SPAWN, TWENTY-TWENTY-ONE.

The new and highly anticipated Gunslinger Spawn series hits comic store shelves this October as part ofTodd McFarlane’s ongoing expansion of the Spawn Universe. Much to the excitement of old and new Spawn fans alike, the title is expected to shatter even more comic book records, like the recent King Spawn #1, which sold over a half-million copies. This will be the third (of four) number one release that will climb into the #1 spot for orders in less than five months.
Early indications suggest this will be the single biggest monthly comic book launch for a new character in well over 30 years, which includes any superhero publisher, including Marvel and DC Comics.
The new comic title features Gunslinger Spawn, a man out of time who is unwillingly thrust 200 years in the future to the 21st century. Not only does he have to navigate a new world, but he’ll have to deal with the demons of his past. No one is safe from his vengeance as he heads into battle with guns blazing as he tries to find his way back home.
Acclaimed artist Brett Booth will be the featured artist on this book, with additional art by Philip Tan, Kevin Keane, and Thomas Nachlik, with colors by FCO, Andrew Dalhouse and others. McFarlane will take the lead on writing the regular ongoing story and he and Aleš Kot tackle the back-up tales. Gunslinger Spawn #1 will feature covers by a roster of superstar artists: Greg Capullo, John Romita Jr., TonTon Revolver, Booth, McFarlane, and TheWalking Dead creator, Robert Kirkman!
Gunslinger Spawn #1 cover G adds another level of excitement to this new ongoing series. With pencils by Booth and inks by McFarlane, this cover along with both the King Spawn #1 and The Scorched #1 (releasing in December 2021), interconnect to form one epic work of art. “Gunslinger Spawn returns with a vengeance, and he will make Spawn look like a Boy Scout,” said McFarlane, Spawn creator and President at Image Comics. “Finally, fans will get a glimpse into his history as we dig deeper into his past and explore his future.”
