| "Youngblood" #8 on sale in February |
Image Comics has provided CBR with an exclusive first look at the cover of "Youngblood" #8, featuring U.S. President Elect Barack Obama. On sale in February, the issue contains a back-up story written and drawn by Rob Liefeld that depicts Obama putting together a new Youngblood team.
"Obama re-instating the program with his picks is a natural, with 'Savage Dragon' having featured Obama already," Liefeld told CBR. "And with 'Youngblood' having George H. W. Bush in its past, as well as a Saddam Hussein styled guy and Youngblood featured alongside Dan Quayle in 'Wildcats,' Bill Clinton in 'Supeme,' Image has a long history of involving presidential characters!"
This story leads into "Youngblood" #9, a story called "First Strike" wherein the White House is attacked and Obama is "a bit of an action hero."
