Spawn #185’s all-new direction completely sells out!
30 October 2008 (Berkeley, CA) - The comic book event of the season started off with a bang as Spawn’s new direction, courtesy of Image Founders Todd McFarlane & Whilce Portacio, resulted in an immediate distribution-level sell-out!
“Obviously it’s good news to have the initial issue sell out so quickly, but now the bigger task is to continue that momentum in the issues going forward,” Spawn creator Todd McFarlane said. “As a reminder, the first few issues will be a lot of setup before we kick this into high gear. Each issue isn’t meant to be its own stand-alone book.”
As if Spawn #185’s cataclysmic and unforgettable opening wasn’t enough, readers were also introduced to the awakening of the mysterious and comatose Patient 47. In the pages that followed, secrets boiled to the surface and lives were lost, creating one of the greatest mysteries to hit the Spawn mythos. While limited amounts of the first printing may still be available at your local comic book store, a second printing will hit stands soon to meet the additional demand.
Spawn #185 2nd ptg., a 32-page full color comic book for $2.95, will be available in stores soon.
Nice writing style. Looking forward to reading more from you.

gald to see its selling well. also i like the way this reads “sells out at the distrubition level” other companys will say sell out and present that as an out right shevles sell out props for the honesty.
So now we will have SIX covers to worry about :-O

SPAWN 4 LIFE!!!
Todd and the crew never cease to amaze the fan base and wow the crowd!! Looking forward to the future of Spawn!!
Just finished reading #185. I’m like reading a detective story! The story is great and hot like hell!
I was a bit annoyed by the last pages… it looks like it was rushed just to have it published on time — tho it was quite late.
I can forgive you for now! ^_^
Man, `can’t wait for #186!
the problem here is the momentum, how to keep it up. portacio’s known to bailout (pardon the pun) on previous books he’s worked on. i hope this doesnt happen to spwan.
i dont have anything against whilce, just like him i am a filipino. its good he’s coping with his diabetes and i hope his run on spawn would continue.
