Patient Number 9

In Patient Number 9 (2022–present, from Sony), Todd McFarlane and Jonathan Glapion introduce a new figure into the Spawn universe—a mysterious inmate held in a secret government facility, whose dark powers and tragic past set the stage for a fresh, horror-tinged corner of McFarlane’s long-running saga. This single-issue debut, illustrated by Glapion, matters as a concentrated, standalone entry that expands the mythos with a chilling, character-driven story from one of comics’ most influential creators.
