story JOE CASEY art & cover DEREC DONOVAN variant cover ROB LIEFELD
THE BLOOD IS BACK! Beginning an all-new MONTHLY series starring the original celebrity superheroes in their greatest adventures ever! All your favorites are back: Shaft! Die Hard! Badrock! Cougar! Doc Rocket! Johnny Panic! A new administration demands a new Youngblood team, but there are darker forces at work. Is it just another shot at the fame game... or is there a greater destiny involved? Before The Authority... before The Ultimates... there was YOUNGBLOOD. The media blitz begins here!
"A really underwhelming start for a series to which I was really looking forward. Derec Donovan does a great job with some tight Dave Johnson-style art, but surprisingly Joe Casey drops the ball with a fairly played-out and altogether too-safe plot full of bored superheroes and duplicitous government agents, all without saying anything fresh. Without the density of storytelling of an Alan Moore or the whatever-it-is-people-like of a Rob Liefeld, there’s really nothing to separate this from the other dozens of superhero books on the rack. Competently done, but it could’ve, and should’ve, been so much more."
THIS BOOK GETS 5 GRAHAMS OUT OF 10
