A new cover for the upcomingย Spawnย spinoff series,ย Sam and Twitch: Case Files, has been revealed.ย Spawnย creator andย Image Comicsย co-founder Todd McFarlane took to social media to unveil the image.

According to Image Comics, the series will follow the detectives as they journey on a path of murder, intrigue, and deception.ย
The characters of Sam Burke and Maximilian โTwitchโ Williams first appeared inย Spawn #1ย back in 1992. While the characters were rough detectives on the outside, the series proved they were good cops at heart. Throughout Spawn, the two detectives handle both normal cases and supernatural ones as well. The two quickly became fan favorites, even receiving their own action figures.ย
Expanding The Universe
At last yearโsย Comic-Con, McFarlane revealed his plans to expand theย Spawnย Universe. Withย Sam and Twitch: Case Files, the writer and creator wanted to branch out and introduce storylines and characters independent from the main franchise. This helps bring new readers into the Universe, even those who donโt care much for Spawn but enjoy a gritty crime comic.
Sam and Twitch: Case Files is out this March.
