PORTLAND, Ore. 07/21/2025 — Comics titan, Deadpool creator, and Image Comics founder Rob Liefeld is back in the driver’s seat writing and drawing an all-new Youngblood for the first time in 30 years—and he’s bringing an all-star arsenal of comics’ top talents along for the ride. The upcoming Youngblood (2025) #1 will feature eye-popping covers by Skottie Young (I Hate Fairyland), Daniel Warren Johnson (Transformers, Do A Powerbomb), Ryan Stegman (X-Men, Venom) Ryan Ottley (Invincible, Battle Beast) Kael Ngu (Venom), Erik Gist (UnDeadpool, Spawn), and Mark Spears (Monsters) and will launch this November from Image Comics.
“These are the most in-demand, most popular, most celebrated names in the comics business and Old Man Liefeld could not be more grateful, more humbled that they delivered these spectacular Youngblood covers!” said Liefeld.
Liefeld ignited a collector firestorm earlier this year with the release of the highly sought-after, instant sell-out Youngblood Deluxe single issues—now The Blood is back and cranking the excitement into overdrive! In Youngblood (2025) #1, the team is summoned to a crisis in the Pacific as a mysterious vessel appears and a deadly nemesis is revealed. Readers won’t want to miss this bulletproof return to one of the most exciting series to ever hit the spinner-rack.
Eric Stephenson, Publisher and Chief Creative Officer at Image Comics, added: “Series relaunches have become standard practice in comics over the last 30 years, and Youngblood has certainly come back more than once, but the big difference this time is that Rob is fully in control again. For all intents and purposes, Youngblood #1 in 1991 was Rob Liefeld #1—his opening statement on what his comics were all about—and in my opinion, while a variety of talented writers and artists have done some great work on Youngblood over the years, the missing ingredient has always been Rob. If you’re a Rob Liefeld fan, this new series is both everything you’ve come to expect and the epic return you’ve been waiting for.”
Liefeld will be at San Diego Comic-Con next week in full power mode. On Thursday he will headline the “Rob Liefeld: Youngblood 33rd Anniversary” panel at 5 p.m. in room 7AB. Fans can also find a very special SDCC Exclusive Youngblood #1 variant at the Image booth (#1915) next week and Liefeld will be signing at the Image booth on Saturday evening at 5:30 p.m.
Youngblood (2025) #1 will be available at comic book shops on Wednesday, November 5.
Youngblood (2025) #1 will also be available across many digital platforms, including Amazon Kindle, Apple Books, and Google Play.
