Rob Liefeld puts out a black, white & red edition of Youngblood, calls it “manga”
Article Summary
- Rob Liefeld releases a black, white & red “manga” edition of Youngblood #1 for November 2025.
- The so-called manga edition mimics manga style but keeps standard Western comic formatting.
- Multiple variant covers include the manga B&W edition, collectible, foil, and artist incentives.
- Youngblood #1 returns the team to action with Liefeld writing and drawing the new storyline.
Rob Liefeld’s return to Youngblood next month will feature a black and white edition with grey tones and splashes of red, both on the cover and its interior pages. And they will be calling it the Manga edition. Will it read right to left? No. Will it have the heft of a manga volume? No. Will it be included in a big anthology Shonen-style magazine with lots of other comics? No. Will it be printed on newsprint and cost less than a normal issue with its lack of colour? No. Will it sell extra copies by calling it a manga edition? Yes.
“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!” Remember, remember the 5th of November, gunpowder, treason and Youngblood.
