Spawn Gets Absolute Universe Treatment From Todd McFarlane

Todd McFarlane's Spawn is seeking the same gritty reinvention treatment that DC's Absolute Batman received. The Absolute Universe launch has successfully created new fans while reinvigorating veteran readers with its darker take on classic superheroes. This approach has transformed the comic book industry and proven the appeal of reimagined origin stories. McFarlane appears interested in applying similar storytelling methods to his iconic Image Comics character.
