Todd McFarlane has just revealed a look at a redesigned costume for his iconic creation Spawn.Showcased on the artist’s Instagram page, this redesign has an almost anime-esque aesthetic. In particular, Spawn’s new hair makes him ironically resemble Dr. Tenma from the Astro Boy series. The Hellspawn himself (who doesn’t appear to be Al Simmons, from the looks of things) has a fairly mechanized look, being more cyborg than a fiendish, shrouded ghoul from Hell. It’s a drastic departure from how the antihero has appeared in the past, though it’s likely to do with the premise of the new series that the design shows up in.The new costume is set to debut in a new Spawn book titled Rat City. Rat City was the name of the alleys that Spawn/Al Simmons once lived in. A derelict area where many homeless citizens of New York City dwelled, it was the setting for many of Spawn’s earliest adventures. The title of the new book suggests a return to this locale and possibly a similar return to a more grounded tone. The artist for the design and the new book is Ze Carlos, while Erica Schultz is the writer. Schultz is also the first female writer to take over a Spawn title.RELATED: McFarlane Toys Reveals Glow in the Dark Figure of Spawn’s Redeemer
