It's the 20th anniversary of the comic book that launched the Image Revolution in 1992!

    This is an average book which acts as a good restart to the series. Unfortunately there isn’t much to hold onto for a story and push you to read the next issue. If you enjoy team up books and are looking for something other than the obvious, take a chance but don’t expect a lot form this book. Read Full Review

    Youngblood #71 can't hold a candle to the other Extreme reboots and is only for the most nostalgic '90s comic reader. Read Full Review

    Extreme was doing really well, until this book came out. What could have been great turned out to be something out of a adolescent boy's fantasy. If the plot and characters were improved upon in the next issue, I can write this off as a fluke. But as it stands, no. It's not a fluke, it's just bad. Read Full Review

    I'm glad that "Youngblood" #71 showed up well after "Prophet" and "Glory" were re-launched (the best two of the five titles), because if this had shown up first I might have assumed that all five comics would be business-as-usual. I understand that "Youngblood" is Liefeld's #1 baby and so the chances of it moving too far away from his original comics was slim. Nonetheless, this is still a huge disappointment. Writers like Casey and Moore have shown in the past that there's still something good to be done with "Youngblood," but this is most definitely not it. Read Full Review
