BOOM! Studios has revealed a first look at Dark Blood #1, the premier issue of an evocative new six-issue original series from screenwriter LaToya Morgan, rising star artist Walt Barna, colorist A.H.G., and letterer AndWorld Design, about a young man forging a brave new future for himself and his family while dealing with his past, available on July 21, 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.
