BOOM! Studios has announced Dark Blood, an evocative new six-issue original series from screenwriter LaToya Morgan, rising star artist Walt Barna, and colorist A.H.G. about a young man forging a brave new future for himself and his family while dealing with his past, available in July 2021.

Alabama, 1955. Avery Aldridge was a decorated soldier during World War II; now he’s just an ordinary young Black man busy providing for his wife and daughter. But the wounds of the past have a way of coming back, and he’ll soon discover that he is anything but ordinary. After a run-in awakens strange new abilities, Avery’s about to become more powerful than he could have ever dared to dream… in a country and society that never wanted him to have any power. 

Dark Blood #1 features main cover art by acclaimed artist Valentine De Landro and variant covers by illustrators Juni Ba and Dan Mora.
