Spawn's Universe #1 has the distinction as Image Comics' top-selling first issue of the 21st century.
The new edition to the Spawn franchise by Todd McFarlane has sold over 200,000 units. Image projects the release of King Spawn, the first new Spawn ongoing series since 1992, will bypass the sales for Spawn's Universe #1.
More additions to the Spawn franchise are in store. Following the release of Spawn's Universe June 23 and King Spawn in August, October will see the debut of Gunslinger, followed by The Scorched in December. Both Gunslinger and The Scorched are predicted to sell more than 200,000 units each, which if it holds up means McFarlane will have crossed the threshold of 200,000 units with four different titles in less than six months.
