| PORTLAND, Ore. 06/12/2026 — Comic book icon and Image Comics co-founder Rob Liefeld’s “Summer of Youngblood”—a season-long celebration marking the monumental return and expansion of the franchise that launched the Image Revolution—hit the industry with a Youngblood #100 heatwave. This blockbuster Youngblood issue has sold out completely at the distributor level and is being fast-tracked for reprint by Image to keep up with demand.
There will be three exciting covers to the Youngblood #100, second printing. On Cover A, Chapel’s gun sights will be trained on an all-new quartet of characters: Invincible by Cory Walker, D’orc by Brett Bean, Feral’s Elsie by Trish Forstner, and Fireborn by Patrick Mulholland. On Cover B, fans get to see an array of Ghost Machine characters, including Rook by Jason Fabok, Geiger by Gary Frank, Hyde Street‘s Mr. X-Ray by Ivan Reis, and Hornsby & Halo‘s Rose by Peter Snejbjerg. Both will be brought to life by colorist extraordinaire Brad Anderson. Lastly, and just in time for convention season, Cover C will be a black and white sketch cover featuring blank gun sights for fans looking to target their own favorite characters!
Fans are advised to hit up their local comic shop for a chance to snag a rare first printing from the shelves and add next month’s launch, Badrock #1, to their pull-list post haste.
“Wow! This is amazing! The return of Youngblood has exceeded every possible expectations! I have to thank all the partners and co-founders for stepping up and contributing this incredible sell out for Youngblood #100,” said Liefeld. “I immediately contacted a few friends in comic biz, current Kings of Independents, and asked them if they’d help keep the celebration rolling! We are trying to make this truly unique and special and unlike anything we’ve done before. There is so much Youngblood and Youngblood related comics coming your way! Most of all, thank you to the incredible fanbase who continues to power this vision launched 34 years back!”
