The New Mixed With The Old

New characters won’t be the only first appearances brought to readers through this thrilling new one-shot story. The Giant-Size Youngblood issue will also showcase a bevy of variant covers by emerging new talent—industry “young bloods”—handpicked as standout artists by Liefeld himself via an open call for submissions.

“Giant Size Youngblood #1 is chock full of signature moments that shape the future of the franchise! We re-introduce fan favorites The New Men, who were recently glimpsed in Youngblood #100. They will continue to play a key role in our titles from Youngblood to Badrock and beyond,” said Liefeld. “But, most importantly, five all-new, never-before-seen characters emerge to aid Youngblood. These characters create the core of the new team line-up when Youngblood #101 returns this fall. Giant Size Youngblood #1 is their official first appearance.

“Part of the pure joy I have experienced in my career is putting fresh, new talents under the spotlight and the “Young Bloods,” as I call them, came out in full force with these incredible covers!”

In Giant-Size Youngblood, the Youngblood team investigates a mysterious island and its secret inhabitants.

Giant-Size Youngblood releases on July 22nd wherever you get your comics.

The Summer Of Youngblood Continues At Image

The season-long celebration of the franchise that launched the Image Revolution. The festivities started with Youngblood #100, with an array of variant covers from Todd McFarlane, Marc Silvestri, Erik Larsen, Jim Valentino, Whilce Portacio, and Robert Kirkman released on June 10th via Image Comics.

It also included a new comic for Badrock that brought him his own title. If you like the laughs, the action, and the stakes of Youngblood, you’ll love Badrock.

We already wrote about the Summer of Youngblood that Image Comics was putting on to celebrate the 100th issue of the classic comic series, but we didn’t know the absolutely massive number of people who’d want that 100th issue. The comic has already sold out completely at the distributor level. However, it is being fast-tracked for reprint by Image to keep up with the demand.
