This post relates to: Rob Liefeld, Joe Casey, Youngblood
Thanks to "our" Shatterstar for bringing this up.
Over the past week the rumors of Rob Liefeld and Youngblood's impending return to comics have circulated amongst fandom. Last night, in cooperation with Newsarama, Image Comics has announced that the rumors are true and it's happening where the series made its start.
Described as the “definitive version” of Liefeld’s original story arc, the volume - a newly expanded version of the 2005 Maximum Youngblood collection – is set for release under the Image “i” later this year and will also feature a brand-new Joe Casey-written, Liefeld-drawn ending. Following that in January 2008 will be a brand new Image Comics monthly ongoing Youngblood series by Casey, artist Derec Donovan, and colorist Val Staples, with Liefeld providing covers.
According to Image, the new series features, “a new cast of familiar faces”, including Shaft, Badrock, DieHard, Cougar, Johnny Panic, Doc Rocket, plus an all-new character.
