BLOODLETTER
Trade Paperback Coming this Spring from Image Comics
The Supernatural Espionage Thriller from the Spawn Universe Arrives in One Complete Volume
Image Comics is proud to announce the release of the BLOODLETTER trade paperback, collecting the five-issue supernatural thriller set within the Spawn Universe, from writers Joseph P. Illidge (New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incient) and Tim Seeley (Pretty Hate Machine), with striking art by Christian Rosado (Skull and Bones: Savage Brainstorm), featuring letters by AndWorld Design.
In this thrilling miniseries, Tasha Thornwall, known as THE BLOODLETTER, is a powerful mystical mercenary entrenched in the world’s secretive underbelly. Once a CIA operative, she has lived in the shadows since being exposed by Al Simmons a decade ago. Now, driven by vengeance upon learning that Simmons has returned as Spawn, she embarks on a relentless mission to hunt him down.
With Bloodletter, the Spawn Universe expands into one of its most clandestine corners. Blending supernatural forces with covert operations and global intrigue, the series introduces a dangerous new perspective within Todd McFarlane’s long-running world: one shaped by vengeance, mysticism, and the hidden battles that unfold in Spawn’s shadow.
