The Spawn Universe and Image Comics Drop Bloodletter #1 This Week

The Spawn Universe Expands

Spawn fans, brace yourselves—BLOODLETTER #1, a gripping new series set within the ever-expanding Spawn Universe, hits shelves this Wednesday from Image Comics, with vengeance…

Co-created by Joseph P. Illidge (Batman, The Shadow Cabinet), Tim Seeley(Hack/Slash), and Christian Rosado (Vampirella), this supernatural thriller cracks open the hidden lore to introduce a haunted new hero: Tasha Thornwall. Armed with secrets and street magic, Tasha is a survivor—fighting her way through a world that throws danger at her from both Heaven and Hell.

Tasha Thornwall is THE BLOODLETTER, mystical mercenary of the world’s secret underground. A former CIA operative forced to live in the shadows after being outed by Al Simmons 10 years ago, Tasha is now out for revenge when she learns Al Simmons is alive as Spawn. The mission to hunt down and kill Spawn begins in this debut miniseries.

While Bloodletter blazes its own trail, it remains rooted in the legacy of Spawn—Todd McFarlane’s groundbreaking vision that reshaped creator-owned comics.

For fans of Something is Killing the Children, Witchblade, Grim, Storm, Catwoman, and Psylocke, Bloodletter delivers a genre-bending punch—introducing a fierce new antihero forged in secrets, sorcery, and survival.

Bloodletter #1 hits shops this Wednesday, June 18, 2025, with Bloodletter #2 arriving July 23.
