Foundation City is under attack from the terrorist group Human League, fronted by Black Sheep and @X. Flamingo is fighting her way back inside the domed city to rejoin the fray, Alloy is trying to stop a bomb from going off, and the rest of the team are in the thick of the battle with @X’s forces. The problems continue to mount when Livewire realizes that the strike team they are facing knows how to counter their powers.

Successfully crowdfunded several months back, Rob Liefeld’s return to Youngblood hits the ground running as the team is dispatched to deal with a crisis in the Pacific. All of the bold characters and raw, kinetic energy that made the original Youngblood #1 the symbol of the early days of Image Comics are on display here, but with more polish and sophistication. With creator-writer-artist Rob Liefeld regaining control over the characters, this new, 33-years-later version of the team is crackling.
