This November, The Adventures of Spawn will wrap up the Awaking War storyline written by Jonathan David Goff and illustrated by Khary Randolph.

In ADVENTURES OF SPAWN, Al Simmons, now known as Spawn X, teams up with fellow heroes Omega and Redeemer in the never-ending battle against the forces of Darkness and its vicious leader, Mammon! While ADVENTURES OF SPAWN made its debut online as SPAWN.COM’s very first web comic to coincide with McFarlane Toys’ own toy line (Spawn: Series 30 & 32), this one-shot is the only place to read the story’s conclusion in its entirety.

The 48-page one-shot will sell for $5.99 when it arrives on November 19, 2008.

Image Comics has come through with another sneak peek appearing next week.  Take the jump for a look at Spawn #181.

Image has announced two of its founds, Todd McFarlane and Whilce Portacio, will return to Spawn this October. Beginning with issue #185 the title character will return to its roots.

“While I’m very happy with where Spawn has gone, it’s long past time to inject some new blood into the series while also returning to its roots,” said McFarlane. “I feel what Whilce and I are doing with our co-writer, Brian Holguin, combines the old and the new in a way no one would have expected. That’s a claim which gets tossed around quite a bit in the industry, but this one really changes everything.”

More details of the changes will be announced by Image over the next couple of weeks.

Image Comics has announced Spawn #166 has sold out at Diamond. The company says it is due in large part to new artist Brian Haberlin and writer David Hine.

“Todd wanted us to grab people by the lapels and tell ‘em that Spawn is back!” says writer David Hine. “The whole creative team felt supercharged, and it shows in the book. Once I saw Haberlin’s art – particularly that soul-chilling last page – I knew we had a hit on our hands.”

Image says it will go back to press on this title, and have sent Major Spoilers a sneak peek for those who missed it the first time.
