She-Spawn centers around Jessica Priest, a character whose life has been shaped by violence, duty, and sacrifice. A former solider, assassin, superhero, and mother, Priest now finds herself pulled into a brutal confrontation with an angelic cult determined to sacrifice a child in the name of their God. What begins as a mission quickly becomes something far more personal, forcing Jessica to confront the regret and responsibility that have followed her long after she stepped into the role of She-Spawn.
Jessica Priest has been leading The Scorched super-hero team under the watchful eye of Spawn, serving as a crucial line of defense when he cannot be everywhere at once. Readers have seen her navigate high-stakes missions and mounting pressure throughout The Scorched regular comic series, which is about to reach its 50th issue. While this She-Spawn miniseries stands on its own as a complete story arc, it draws from the character’s existing history, offering a deeper look at her current state of mind rather than tying directly to a specific event or crossover.
Simone brings her distinct voice to this new She-Spawn series, leaning into themes of power, consequences, and moral ambiguity while framing Jessica Priest as a deeply human figure navigating a supernatural world.
Todd McFarlane Productions is expanding the debut of She-Spawn #1—the upcoming five-issue Spawn Universe miniseries written by award-winning comics writer Gail Simone and illustrated by Ig Guara—with the reveal of a new cover by Todd McFarlane, featured across a set of incentive variants, with additional covers now joining the lineup ahead of the series’ May release.
McFarlane’s cover will appear in multiple formats, including a 1:100 Virgin Foil, a 1:250 black-and-white edition signed by McFarlane, and a 1:500 version signed by both McFarlane and Simone.
Also joining the lineup are new covers by Mirka Andolfo and Emma Ríos, both making their Spawn Universe cover debut. Each puts their own stamp on Jessica Priest as she takes center stage in her first solo series.
She-Spawn follows Jessica Priest as she is drawn into a violent conflict with an extremist religious sect, forcing her to confront the weight of her past while fighting to protect an innocent life.
She-Spawn #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 6, 2026. Final Order Cutoff is April 13.

Todd McFarlane returns to doing more artwork within the Spawn Universe as all four of his core titles—Spawn, King Spawn, Gunslinger Spawn, and The Scorched—roll out new creative teams this spring. Each debut issue will include a special Cover C 1:50 Foil Variant commemorating the transition, marking the beginning of the line’s next chapter as it moves steadily toward Spawn #400.
The shift begins in Spawn #376, where writer Matthew Rosenberg and artist Stephen Segovia propel the series one year into the future. The revelation that Heaven and Hell are real—and have abandoned Earth—has destabilized society at every level. Institutions strain. Governments falter. Spawn himself has vanished. Al Simmons, seemingly restored to humanity, lives anonymously in a fractured Manhattan until his return triggers the attention of “The 400,” a powerful cabal of angels, demons, vampires, and alien entities who believe Spawn’s existence threatens their survival.
That same fracture runs through King Spawn #55, as Rosenberg and artist Thomas Nachlik introduce Hudson Hill, a young man haunted by a psychic vision of the apocalypse—one centered on Al Simmons. As Spawn re-emerges publicly as a symbol of hope, another presence begins to take shape in the shadows. The divide between hero and monster narrows, and the consequences ripple outward.
In Gunslinger Spawn #54, writer Erica Schultz joins returning artist Carlo Barberi as new forces enter the conflict.
The mysterious Regulators arrive to correct a cosmic imbalance, revealing that the war between Heaven and Hell is only part of a larger system of control. Gunslinger finds himself caught in the middle of a recalibration that may cost him everything.
Meanwhile, The Scorched #51 sees writer Thomas Healy and artist Alessandro Vitti push the team into a more aggressive posture (McFarlane will help co-plot these storylines.)
Under Jessica Priest’s leadership, the Scorched move from reacting to threats to targeting them preemptively. Their actions draw scrutiny from governments, divine powers, and hellish adversaries alike, setting off a chain reaction that will redefine alliances across the Spawn Universe.
As these changes roll out across the four core books, the Spawn Universe tightens its focus and raises the stakes—setting the stage for what comes next.
Gunslinger Spawn #54 will be available at comic book shops on May 20, 2026. Final Order Cutoff for retailers is Monday, April 27.
