Unveiling the Bloodletter Spawn Universe
Bloodletter is helmed by an impressive creative team, featuring celebrated former editor, Illuminous founder, and writer, Joseph P. Illidge, alongside Tim Seeley and Christian Rosado. This team brings a commanding vision to Tasha Thornwall, crafting a protagonist who is both powerful and complex. Tasha is described as a mystical mercenary of the world’s secret underground. This debut miniseries will reveal a secret history woven with horror, espionage, and sorcery, making it a must-read for Spawn enthusiasts.
Joseph P. Illidge emphasizes that Bloodletter explores how Tasha Thornwall utilizes magic and secrets to navigate a world constantly throwing danger from Heaven and Hell at her. The collaboration with Seeley and Rosado aims to show fans the secret history of the Spawn Universe, promising a “wonderful and scary” journey for readers. Tim Seeley highlights the story’s core as a “synthesis,” particularly for Tasha, whose blend of espionage and street magic makes her an “unkillable survivor”. Rosado describes the series as a mix of “blood, magic, it’s evil questioning itself, it’s also love and redemption”. He notes that Tasha has taken on a life of her own, and the team’s mission is to narrate her struggle and story.
