Today’s Press Release Of Interest: Spawn’s Digital Debut

I'm not sure if there are a ton of traditional + current market books that have yet to debut in some digital form on the market, but apparently that's the case with Todd McFarlane's long-running comic about that undead master of the chain and cape, Spawn. I am totally baffled as to what the market would be here -- I'm guessing men in their 30s and 40s that were once fans and looking to catch up for commutes and downtime in big chunks without the hassle of hitting the quarter bins, but hell if I know. We're also at a point in the reading cycle where this work could be discovered anew, although I'm not sure how it would to a brand-new reader. Spawn was the most consistently top-selling of the original Image Comics wave, and certainly the by-name point man of that whole, startling, mainstream comics stage rush.
