• The post also rounds up November 2026 Todd McFarlane Spawn solicits, including Spawn, King Spawn, and Scorched.

As promised in December last year, and in Image Comics' November 2026 solicits and solicitations, a sequel to last year's I Saw Santa, a particularly grisly Spawn Universe series by Andrew Sanders, Chris Killian and Bleeding Cool favourite Thomas Nachlik, with police detectives Sam and Twitch working on a Christmas-themed mass murder of a family, their heads decapitated and placed into Christmas present boxes, with Father Christmas himself as a suspect. And for Christmas this year, we have I Saw Spawn: A Twisted Christmas Tale by Chris Killian, Andrew Sanders and this time Todor Hristov. And we have a preview of the comic book in question, in which The North Pole is shaken by a gruesome massacre that bears the signature of serial killer, Charlie Kohl. And Santa Claus hires Spawn to help him investigate the murders.
