Todd McFarlane and Greg Capullo to take on Batman - with Spawn thrown into the mix as well
Todd McFarlane had promised a hurricane of an announcement at San Diego Comic-Con today, and he delivered – but he didn’t do so alone. At DC’s Jim Lee & Friends panel on Friday afternoon, McFarlane revealed that he’s teaming up with Greg Capullo for a new Batman/Spawn one-shot this December.
The 48-page special issue – to be titled, simply, Batman/Spawn – will be the first time the two characters have met since 1994’s Batman/Spawn: War Devil one-shot, which will be reprinted ahead of the new book’s release. That earlier title, written by the team of Chuck Dixon, Doug Moench and the recently departed Alan Grant with art by Klaus Janson, was DC’s half of a crossover publishing event that year, alongside Frank Miller and McFarlane’s Spawn/Batman, released by Image.Batman/Spawn: War Devil will be re-released November 15, with the all-new Batman/Spawn #1 by McFarlane and Capullo set for a December 13 release.
