NEW COMICS - 08/20 (http://board.spawn.com/forums/showthread.php?t=470853)
Today, I have this image to share with you…

What is it, you ask?
That is a dummy book for SPAWN: BOOK OF THE DEAD (http://www.spawn.com/comics/comic.aspx?bookid=41-1-18-0), sent to us from the printer! This sample gives us an opportunity to critique the size, feel and overall quality of the book before we go into production.
Not to leave you without any imagery, here is a teaser image of an interior page from SPAWN: BOOK OF THE DEAD (http://www.spawn.com/comics/comic.aspx?bookid=41-1-18-0)…

Yep.
It has gone through some changes and new artwork. It is being solicited again with the Pewter Raven Spawn as an incentive piece.

CANNOT WAIT FOR BOOK OF THE DEAD.
Are the Pewter Raven Spawn figs still coming with the book Joe?
It is the incentive piece. Although it's not coming with every single book, it will be available.
I've seen a lot of the new pages and it is just beyond cool looking. Ashley Wood is amazing!

Yeah, I saw your answer and edited. At the Spawn panel at WWC Todd said Ash re-did all or most of the art for it. I really can't wait.

It is still moving forward. Yes, we have had a few snags here and there, but it is a top priority for us!
BOD is a little higher on the priorty list.

that'd make a sweet sketch book, go gather sketches around the office and give 'er away as a prize!!!
So what's happening with the original versions of the art and why'd they change?

Ashley has developed just as any artist over the years does and he felt strongly that some of the art should be updated.

Aleksi is a very busy man, the art has not gotten to us like we first assumed it would.

Joe, I love to see any unused art or stuff lying around in an art book like Greg Capullo did. I'd gladly buy a Art of Spawn or Spawn By Ashley Wood (or Ben Templesmith or insert-name-here).
Basically here's my money, please make the book.

I still have no idea what your talking about, but if I did the answer would be no.
However, Series 4 photos might go up on Friday.

You got it!
Just leave the money in a brown paper bag next to the phone booth on Mill & Southern in Tempe, AZ. :D ;)
Not bad suggestions though!

A blank BOD would make for a nice sketchbook or diary.

BOTD is the Duke Nukem Forever of McF toys...cept DNF has been taking longer, so maybe it's like Team Fortress 2...cept that came out.

Wow, the original BOTD was supposed to be released in 1999? I look forward to getting this in Nov.

10 years in the making. There must be an inch of dust on those Pewter Raven Spawns.

Actually, they decomposed. Something to do with the whole halflife mumbo jumbo.
