Shannon Eric Denton and David Hartman are back together again for a supernatural tale. The award-winning team recently collaborated on the supernatural historical graphic novel Kraken at Titan Comics, and they’ve cooked up another winning recipe for suspense and adventure in Spectors.

Jumping between the 1930s and the modern day, Spectors features a trio of supernatural investigators band together to stop a cult from resurrecting ancient evils. The graphic novel's focus is a decades-long mission that spans generations of monster hunters as they combat the bumps in the night. Reginald and Debby are the protagonists, and they’re armed with a mystical knife and a prosthetic multi-tool-gatling gun. They uncover a hidden lab filled with human test subjects, with experiments that have been running since the 1930s. Spectors teases that their latest victim may become Reginald and Debby’s greatest ally.

Fans will have a little bit of a wait on their hands. Spectors is slated to release a year from now on May 12, 2026. (via ComicBook.com)

Helmed by celebrated former editor, Illuminous founder, and writer, Joseph P. Illidge (Batman, Milestone Universe: The Shadow Cabinet) alongside Tim Seeley (Revival, Hack/Slash) and Christian Rosado (Vampirella, Skull and Bones: Savage Storm), Bloodletter will take readers deep into the unspoken lore of Spawn’s world. This five-issue miniseries will launch in June from Image/Todd McFarlane Productions.


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 (Avengers), 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, when she learns Al Simmons is alive as Spawn she sets out for revenge. The mission to hunt down and kill Spawn begins in this debut miniseries. Spawn fans won’t want to miss uncovering this secret history stitched together with horror, espionage, and sorcery.

“Bloodletter is about our hero, Tasha Thornwall, and how she uses the power of magic and secrets to fight through a world that constantly throws danger from Heaven and Hell at her!” said Illidge. “Working with my fellow brothers-in-arms—Tim and Christian—and using our magical combination of skills to show the fans the secret history of the Spawn Universe is just as wonderful and scary as it sounds. We can't wait to pull you into Tasha's world and never let go!”

Seeley added: “At its core, this story is all about synthesis. For our lead, Tasha, it’s that combination of espionage and street magic that makes her an unkillable survivor in a world where guys like Spawn, Overtkill, and Violator walk. And the comic itself is a synthesis too, of Joe, Christian, and me, something totally new none of us would have concocted on our own.”

“It's blood, magic, it's evil questioning itself, it's also love and redemption,” said Rosado. “Tasha took on a life of her own, and what we do as a team is narrate it, chapter after chapter. In this transgressive and dark world, there's a new character who is a privilege to draw. Joe, Tim, and I have that mission—to make her struggle known and what she has to tell us.”

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.

Perfect for fans of Something is Killing the Children, Witchblade, Grim, Storm, Catwoman, and Psylocke, Bloodletter blends genre with fury and introduces a deadly new antihero to the ranks.
