Spread kicks off new story arc
Writer Justin Jordan and special guest artist Jen Hickman will launch a special stand-alone issue in the ongoing horror series Spread this January.
Previously in Spread, a man named No found an orphaned baby named Hope. Hope is the key to stopping The Spread—the gruesome cancerous growth of monsters that’s brought civilization to a grinding halt—but not everyone sees her as a savior. The key to keeping Hope alive has been Molly, a crazy survivor with an unknown background.
In Spread #12, Molly’s story is told.

Spread #12 Cover B by Camila Torrano (Diamond code: NOV150649) and SPREAD #12 Cover C by Michael Adams and Kyle Strahm (Diamond code: NOV150650) will also be available Wednesday, January 13th.
The Image Comics mini-series The Strange Talent of Luthor Strode ended in a baptism of blood as former geeky weakling Luther Strode discovered the depths of the powers he developed with “The Hercules Method” of strengthening — and with a promise of more mayhem.
“While the hyper-violence and how we’re desensitized to violence in comics was one of the points of the first one, we had to be careful not to, you know, desensitize people to the ridiculous violence,” explained writer Jordan.
