The X-Men return to the Australian Outback

Posted on by

In the late ’80s, legendary Uncanny X-Men writer Chris Claremont and superstar artist Marc Silvestri took Marvel’s Merry Mutants down under for a transformative period of the franchise known as the Outback Era. Featuring a dynamic lineup of X-Men who put the outlaw in “outlaw heroes” and bold storytelling hot enough to fan the flames of an Inferno, the Outback Era is beloved by fans, but this short-but-sweet period in X-Men history always felt full of untapped potential—until now! This June, two modern mutant masters, writer Steve Orlando and artist Stephen Segovia reveal an all-new saga set during this iconic era in X-Men: Outback, a five-issue retro limited series with covers by acclaimed X-Men artist Russell Dauterman.

FROM THE AUSTRALIAN OUTBACK!

Journey back to a time when the public believed Storm, Wolverine, Rogue, Colossus, Dazzler, Havok, Psylocke and Longshot were dead. But from the shadows, these X-Men protected humanity from their Australian headquarters! But why did the team choose the Outback as their home base? How did tensions between them almost tear the team apart? And which of their old enemies threatened to expose their secret?

The latest “retro” series that deliver all-new stories set during definitive Marvel Comics eras, X-Men: Outback follows recent X-hits like Psylocke: Ninja and Emma Frost: The White Queen. Check out Dauterman’s first cover and pick up X-Men: Outback at your local comic shop this June!

The Scorched #50, the Climax of the Spawn Universe 50/50/50 Program, arrives March 2026

Posted on by

Todd McFarlane Productions concludes the Spawn Universe’s latest milestone celebration with The Scorched #50, the third and final installment in the 50/50/50 Program—a coordinated event marking the 50th issues of King Spawn, Gunslinger Spawn, and The Scorched.

Launched in 2021, the Spawn Universe expanded with record-setting debuts and ongoing fan demand. Now, that success comes full circle as the 50/50/50 storyline reaches its explosive conclusion in The Scorched #50—an extra-length issue delivering the final two chapters of the crossover that began in King Spawn #50 and continued in Gunslinger Spawn #50.The battle rages to its breaking point, and the long-awaited reveal will have Spawn fans talking for years to come. When the dust settles, The Scorched #50 will leave the Spawn Universe forever changed. 

As with the previous issue #50 titles, interior artwork is by Carlo Barberi and Stephen Segovia, ensuring visual consistency across all three milestone books.

In step with the series’ counterparts, The Scorched #50 arrives with a premium slate of variants and incentives that mirror King Spawn #50 and Gunslinger Spawn #50, creating one unified collector experience across the program. Artwork comes from Todd McFarlane, Skottie Young, Mark Spears, and Puppeteer Lee, with both Young and Lee delivering connecting cover sets that span all three 50th issues. 

At the top of the incentive tier is Cover H, a 1:1000 Raw Pencil Virgin Variant by Todd McFarlane that includes a guaranteed hand-drawn Spawn sketch inserted directly into the book. Fifty of these sketches will be drawn by McFarlane. After those 50 orders are fulfilled, remaining sketches will be randomly assigned from Jonathan Glapion, Carlo Barberi, Brett Booth, Stephen Segovia, and Jason Shawn Alexander. (Sketch artist selection is random and cannot be requested; ordering early does not guarantee a McFarlane sketch.)

Each copy of Cover H will also be signed by Todd McFarlane and include a CGC Certificate verifying that both the signature and the inserted sketch are eligible for CGC’s Signature Series program, as well as confirming sketch authenticity. McFarlane has committed to never signing this cover again, making these copies strictly limited to this one-time release. The 1:250 incentive (Cover G) is likewise signed by McFarlane, includes a CGC Certificate, and will not be signed again. 

To coincide with the conclusion of the 50/50/50 Program, CGC is hosting an exclusive Private Signing event with Todd McFarlane. Collectors have until November 14, 2025 (international) and December 1, 2025 (U.S.) to submit comics and cards for this signing. For this event, McFarlane will sign each collectible with his full “Todd McFarlane” signature, and fans can select from two event-exclusive CGC custom label options—a Todd McFarlane Spawn Universe label and an all-new McFarlane scroll label created by McFarlane specifically for this signing. These labels are available only for this event. For more information on how to submit collectibles for grading and signature authentication, visit CGC’s official announcement here.

The Scorched #50 will be available at comic book shops in March 2026. The Final Order Cutoff for retailers is slated for February 2026. Please note, dates are subject to change.
