Youngblood #100 kicks off the “Summer of Youngblood” with a Second Printing

Posted on by Leave a comment

Comic book icon and Image Comics co-founder Rob Liefeld’s “Summer of Youngblood”—a season-long celebration marking the monumental return and expansion of the franchise that launched the Image Revolution—hit the industry with a Youngblood #100 heatwave. This blockbuster Youngblood issue has sold out completely at the distributor level and is being fast-tracked for reprint by Image to keep up with demand.

There will be three exciting covers to the Youngblood #100, second printing. On Cover A, Chapel’s gun sights will be trained on an all-new quartet of characters: Invincible by Cory Walker, D’orc by Brett Bean, Feral’s Elsie by Trish Forstner, and Fireborn by Patrick Mulholland. On Cover B, fans get to see an array of Ghost Machine characters, including Rook by Jason Fabok, Geiger by Gary Frank, Hyde Street‘s Mr. X-Ray by Ivan Reis, and Hornsby & Halo‘s Rose by Peter Snejbjerg. Both will be brought to life by colorist extraordinaire Brad Anderson. Lastly, and just in time for convention season, Cover C will be a black and white sketch cover featuring blank gun sights for fans looking to target their own favorite characters!

Fans are advised to hit up their local comic shop for a chance to snag a rare first printing from the shelves and add next month’s launch, Badrock #1, to their pull-list post haste.

Youngblood #100, second printing will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, July 8.

  • Cover A – Lunar Code 0526IM8424
  • Cover B Ghost Machine Variant – Lunar Code 0526IM8426
