‘Rogue Sun’ #30 First Look Featuring Todd McFarlane’s Medieval Spawn

by Olly MacNamee

You may be mistaken in thinking you’re reading a Spawn comic when you view the sneak peek at Rogue Sun #30 below. But that’s intentional, as not only does this new issue kick off an all-new story arc, but it includes a special appearance of Todd McFarlane’s Medieval Spawn character. Here’s the skinny on this latest issue from Ryan Parrott, Nick Cotton, and Abel:

“In Rogue Sun #30, travel back to the year 1383 as Sir John of York — also known as the Medieval Spawn — embarks on a deadly quest to track down the monstrous entity known as The Withered. But he’s not alone. Caleb Hawthorne — the legendary Knight Sun — and his loyal squire are also on the hunt, setting the stage for an epic clash between two iconic heroes from the Image Comics universe. Will Medieval Spawn complete his mission — or will Knight Sun stand in his way? Readers won’t want to miss this historic face-off in one of the most anticipated issues of Rogue Sun yet.”

As for writer, Parrott, he couldn’t be more stoked:

“When I first created Knight Sun, a medieval legacy version of Rogue Sun, I’d be lying if a part of me wasn’t secretly hoping that, one day, just maybe they might encounter Medieval Spawn. I knew it was probably impossible, but … here we are. Todd [McFarlane], Thomas [Healy], and everyone at Todd McFarlane Productions have been so generous, it really was an absolute dream to bring this crossover to life.”

Rogue Sun #30 will is out on Wednesday, October 15th from Image Comics with the following Spawn homage covers:
