Todd McFarlane and Rob Liefeld team on Spawn

Sandman

Image Comics has announced that Todd McFarlane will share art duties with Rob Liefeld on Spawn #196, the conclusion of the "Endgame" story arc.

"I was looking for good artistic help, and remembered inking over Rob on his New Mutant covers back in the Marvel days, and most recently a little bit of Image United," McFarlane said. "I thought it would be a fun experiment to see what (Greg) Capullo layouts, Liefeld pencils and my inks looked like together on a handful of pages."

Here's how Image describes the issue:

"In the conclusion of Spawn: Endgame, reporter Marc Rosen connects the miracle patient stories to the new Spawn, Jim Downing, as detectives Sam, Twitch and Rowand discover the association between Downing's awakening, Bill Winston's suicide and the Nortego crime syndicate."

Spawn #196 will be in stores on Nov. 25.

Not a big fan of Liefeld's art. Never have been. His proportions always seem off and it's distracting to me. Be good to McFarlane back behind the pencils though.
