Bloodletter #2
(W) Joseph P. Illidge, Tim Seeley (A/CA) Christian Rosado (C) DC Alonso (L) AndWorld Design (CB) Raymond Gay
Since getting burned all those years ago, Tasha has lived the life of a mercenary. But one chance encounter with someone from her past sends the Bloodletter down a path she may soon regret.
The Spawn Universe expands once again with Bloodletter, the latest addition to the ever-expanding world, and coming from Image Comics!
Helmed by celebrated former editor, Illuminous founder, and writer, Joseph P. Illidge alongside Tim Seeley and Christian Rosado, Bloodletter takes readers deep into the unspoken lore of Spawn’s world, uncovering a secret history stitched together with horror, espionage, and sorcery.
Illidge—known for his industry-defining work across the comics platform—brings a commanding vision to the title’s lead, crafting a protagonist as powerful as she is haunted. Working in lockstep with Seeley, Rosado, colorist DC Alonso, and letterers AndWorld Design, the creative team paints a portrait of a woman waging war against human and infernal forces.
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 carves its own path, the series remains grounded in the legacy of Spawn—a character and universe created by Todd McFarlane that redefined creator-owned comics. With Tasha now stepping into the shadows left behind, the series builds a bridge between the foundational myths and the next era of supernatural storytelling.
Bloodletter #1 hits shops June 18, 2025, and is now available for preorder, with Bloodletter #2 arriving July 23.
IDW Publishing has announce that acclaimed screenwriter, producer, and comic book writer Marc Guggenheim will assume the captain’s chair for an all-new, five-issue comic book series, Star Trek: The Motion Picture—Echoes, set immediately after the events of the momentous 1979 film.
Featuring spectacular artwork by Oleg Chudakov and colors by DC Alonso, Echoes pits the venerated Captain James T. Kirk and his crew against enemies both terrifying and shockingly familiar! When a space anomaly thrusts a criminal mastermind—pursued by a very determined pilot on a mission—into our universe, the Enterprise must stop them from unintentionally starting a war with the Romulans and unleashing a superweapon of foreign technology into the system. But things get infinitely more complicated when these newcomers to our reality remove their helmets, revealing that they’re doppelgängers of our beloved heroes!
Arriving in stores this May, Star Trek: The Motion Picture—Echoes #1 will be available with multiple cover variants for retailers and fans to enjoy, including Cover A by Jake Bartok, Cover B by series artist Oleg Chudakov, and retailer incentive variants by Luke Sparrow and Rod Reis.
Anyone that’s a fan of Star Trek will tell you just how affected they are by the franchise. One becomes immersed within the first few minutes. It’s far more than a military science fiction thriller but a study of the human condition. Each of the properties have done an amazing job of not just entertaining but discussing relevant issues in society.
There has never been a IP which outright talks about societal ills like Star Trek. It was the first show I watched where I felt like I was not alone. It made being smart feel like you stood out for all the right reasons. In the 400th issue of the long running IDW Publishing comic, Star Trek, a collective of creators come together to tell some tales in this connected universe.
In “Captain’s Log”, we find Kirk as he writes final Captain’s log, as he recalls what would a lifetime of memories. In “Soldier On”, We find O’Brien as he foils a Cardassian spy, alerting their military, that Starfleet is a formidable foe. In “Meanwhile”, Scotty wakes up from a nap to notice that no work has been done, and decides his day is already done. In “A Matter of Choice”, we find out exactly where Wesley Crusher has been all these years and how did he end up being a guardian of time. In “Starfleeter”, we find a young Keyla Detmer as she bonds with a young Klingon warrior, eventually becoming friends. In “A Perfect System”, a sentient being name Gary Mitchell realizes the mission of Star Trek makes his existence, none essential, as it is in good hands. In “Where No Publisher Has Gone Before”, the impact of the franchise in comics is told .
Overall, Star Trek #400 is an excellent tribute to this franchise which has meant so much to so many people. The stories by the different writers is astounding.. The art by the different artists is incredible. Altogether, a worthy tribute and an excellent addition to the canon.
