90s superheroes are back at Image this May with Joe Casey and Paul Fry’s Blood Squad Seven

Posted on by

Writer Joe Casey and artist Paul Fry team up for a boundary pushing new superhero series in Blood Squad Seven. Spinning out of the recent Dutch miniseries, this upcoming comic book will explore ’90s superteam dynamics through a contemporary lens and launches in May 22nd from Image Comics.

Thirty years ago, Blood Squad Seven was America’s most popular superhero team. Its members were seen on television, on magazine covers, scoring million-dollar endorsement deals…. They were celebrities and they were everywhere.

But that was then… this is now. And so, a new generation of modern-day heroes takes up the mantle—or perhaps, the poisoned chalice—fulfilling a promise made decades ago: to be the heroes that a fractured America needs.

While deconstructions of superhero nostalgia typically center around the classic characters of the Silver Age, Blood Squad Seven will delve deep into ’90s comic book themes with this imagining of what would happen if heroes from that decade returned to action after a 30-year absence.

Variant covers for each issue of Blood Squad Seven will be provided by an army of celebrated artists, including: Chris Weston, Nick Pitarra, Jim Rugg, Chris Cross, Elizabeth Torque, Mike Hawthorne, Cory Walker, Ryan Quackenbush, Mirko Colak, Chris Sprouse, Dustin Nguyen, and many more.

Blood Squad Seven #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, May 22:

  • Cover A by Paul Fry – Lunar Code 0324IM161
  • Cover B by Chris Weston – Lunar Code 0324IM162
  • Cover C (1:10) by Nick Pitarrra – Lunar Code 0324IM163
  • Cover D (1:20) by Jim Rugg – Lunar Code 0324IM164
  • Cover E (1:50) by Fry – Lunar Code 0324IM165

See Peter Parker face off against his first super villain in a first look at Ultimate Spider-Man #2

Posted on by

Last week’s Ultimate Spider-Man #1 is one of the most buzzed about comics! The issue’s introduction of the Parker family—including a very much alive Uncle Ben—has shown fans just how extraordinarily different Jonathan Hickman and Marco Checchetto’s vision for Spider-Man storytelling will be. Get a sneak peek at the excitement that lies ahead in Ultimate Spider-Man #2, on sale February 21!

Marvel’s new Ultimate Universe was shaped by the evil Reed Richards variant known as the Maker. Travelling back in time on a parallel Earth, the Maker prevented young Peter Parker from ever being bit by that fateful radioactive spider. Now, 20 years later, the Universe’s own Tony Stark has given Peter the chance to reclaim the heroic destiny that was stolen from him! Taking on great responsibility as Spider-Man, an adult Peter web-swings into the New York skies for the first time, ready to use his newfound abilities to help fix the world in any way he can, all while balancing his new role with being a devoted husband and loving father. Taking place a month into Peter’s burgeoning super hero career, Ultimate Spider-Man #2 will see Peter’s first super powered brawl—an electrifying battle with the SHOCKER!

Peter won’t be the only Parker embarking on new adventures and taking down super villains. Peter’s beloved uncle Ben is an award-winning journalist, and alongside his trusted partner J. Jonah Jameson, he’ll pursue the truth of their corrupt world and the unrest that’s stirring around every corner—starting with discovering the identity and motives of the newly emerged Green Goblin! Get a glimpse at all this and more in today’s all-new preview.

Check out all-new interior artwork, variant covers, and Checchetto’s original design sheets and preorder Ultimate Spider-Man #2 today! If you missed Ultimate Spider-Man #1, ask your local comic shop about snagging the upcoming second printing, available on February 14—exactly one week before issue two arrives!
