The second print cover offers a brand new incentive for longtime fans of Liefeld’s work, as it harkens back to one of his most famous covers: New Mutants #98. This classic ‘90s Marvel cover gave fans their first look at Deadpool, Domino, and Gideon, and the Youngblood cover offers its own look at three brand new characters to the series. Vandel, Xerxes, and Plsymx stand ready to join the story, while the classic members of Die-Hard, Shaft, Vogue, and Badrock stare on in shock. This is a cover that any fan of Liefeld’s classic work, and this style of cover, will definitely want to get their hands on.
Youngblood Has New Life Breathed Into It
When the original Youngblood series broke onto the scene in 1987, it made waves by imagining superheroes as celebrities and brand icons as much as saviors, many years before The Boys took this approach. The last several attempts to revive the series, however, floundered. Now that Liefeld has finally returned to spearhead Image’s newest take on their original flagship series, fans can’t seem to get enough of it. Not only will there be a second printing, but the number of variants is enough to make any collector’s head spin. For the first issue alone, there are an unbelievable 27 retailer-exclusive covers and 30 team-up covers, alongside plenty of incentive covers.
