The advanced Image Comics October 2020 solicitations have been unveiled along with the covers.
Six new series will debut in October - The Scumbag, Commanders in Crisis, Getting it Together, Blue in Green, Stairway Anthology, and Planet Paradise - as well as the high-profile colorized reprints of The Walking Dead.
Meanwhile, the recently-revived Rat Queens series is welcoming a new art team: Moritat and Casey Silver.
Over in Todd McFarlane's long-running Spawn series, he and artist Gerardo Zaffino will be giving the demonspawn a new costume in #311.
"Spawn continues down his path of eliminating those that have burned down the neighborhood he grew up in as a child," reads Image's description of that issue. "ires, protests, and politics cannot hide them from Spawn's vengeful wrath...especially the mastermind behind it all called Red Meat!"
And if you're wondering where our header image comes from, that's from October 21's Die! Die! Die! #14.
"President Obama has to fight for his life...and the fate of the planet Earth!" reads Image's description of the issue by Robert Kirkman, Scott M. Gimple, Chris Burnham, and Nathan Fairbairn.
We've got beginnings, we've got changes, and we've also got endings in October. Low, Outcast by Kirkman & Azaceta, and Stealth are all scheduled to end according to this month's solicitations.

Grant, earning him not only widespread popularity but the presidency as well. Today, elections are decided by brutal, highly publicized hand-to-hand combat in arenas called Stumps. And in a society that adores violence this much, it's no surprise that powerful people get away with murder. But not for long—not if Senator Jack Hammer and FBI Agent Anna Bell Lister have anything to say about it.
Eisner-nominated writer CHUCK BROWN (BITTER ROOT, Rotten Apple) teams up with artist FRANCESCO CHIAPPARA and letterer CLAYTON COWLES for a political action series set in a hyper-violent world full of countless injustices and people who have to fight for their place in it.
