Youngblood is officially BACK on comic book shelves, and we’re diving deep into what that means for longtime fans and ’90s comics lovers! In this segment from our weekend stream, we talk about the surprising return of Rob Liefeld’s iconic Image Comics team, the wave of nostalgia behind it, and how this new Youngblood release stacks up today.
We discuss Rob Liefeld commenting directly on the creator’s post, the massive number of variant covers (including some stunning pieces by Mark Spears, Daniel Warren Johnson, Ryan Stegman, and more), the mystery of character ownership, and why Youngblood’s ’90s charm always pulls fans back in.
We also walk through the issue itself — the team lineup, the tone, the cheesy/stilted dialogue, the classic big-action vibe, and whether this feels like a reboot or a continuity wipe. Plus: Supreme, Supria/Suprea, Chapel, Shaft, Vogue, Badrock (formerly Bedrock), Diehard, and all the wild Youngblood worldbuilding that comes with it.
If you’re a fan of Image Comics, Rob Liefeld, ’90s superheroes, variant covers, or comic relaunches, this is a must-watch breakdown.
