Todd McFarlane, Marc Silvestri, Erik Larsen, Jim Valentino, Whilce Portacio, and Robert Kirkman releasing on June 10th via Image Comics. These are the industry’s top titans, and in a historic moment for comic fans, Image Comics co-founder and Top Cow CEO Marc Silvestri provides his first-ever rendition of Youngblood as a variant cover for issue #100. 

Joining Silvestri as a first-time Youngblood cover artist is The Walking Dead and Invincible creator Robert Kirkman, who steps away from his writing desk to provide a rare and highly sought-after piece of cover art for the centennial issue. These covers, alongside contributions from other superstar artists, make Youngblood #100 one of the season’s most anticipated releases. 

BADROCK REBORN

The “Summer of Youngblood” isn’t just about the team. Fan-favorite powerhouse Badrock breaks out, grabbing the spotlight for his own spotlight series. This July, Badrock #1 hits stands, featuring the massive, granite- skinned hero in a solo adventure that promises to shake the foundations of the Extreme Universe.

The new series explores the heavy burden Badrock carries into his personal life as his family is compromised as a result of his high profile. Liefeld is joined by a bold new artist, Seth Damoose.

Youngblood #100 and Badrock #1 will be available at local comic book shops and digital platforms this summer. Stay tuned for further announcements regarding the “Summer of Youngblood.”
