These special, stylized editions of the issues will pay tribute to classic Manga while redefining the superhero reading experience for an all-new audience.

"I love the style and design of Manga comics and I created an approach to my work that attempts to mimic those artistic influences with the Youngblood manga editions," said Liefeld. "These have proved extremely popular with consumer! I'll be doing a manga edition alongside each issue!"

On top of these sleek, Manga-inspired black & white editions, the Youngblood (2025) launch will unleash a full-blown variant blitz with a jaw-dropping 27 retailer exclusives, 30 epic team-up covers, and a wave of must-have incentive ratio variants set to dominate comic shop shelves.

"Comics as a whole are better off when there's a Rob Liefeld Youngblood comic on the stands. Rob always brings the fast-paced high octane action spectacle you're looking for but I love that there's always some kind of new idea or innovation present in everything he does. If this series isn't on your pull list, you must like dull comics so I can't help you. Why are you reading this?" —Robert Kirkman, Invincible, The Walking Dead

"Rob's Youngblood is back where it belongs in every conceivable way, including the top of my reading pile. BADROCK FOR LIFE." —Geoff Johns, Geiger, Doomsday Clock
