2016 Comic Challenge 070 Youngblood Battlezone #01

TITLE-Youngblood Battlezone #01
PUBLISHER-Image/Extreme Studios

At one time I owned 8 or so copies of this comic. And I never bought one on purpose. When I moved back in fall 2007 I didn't get to bring but maybe 1/10th of my comics. So craving new comics to read,and the nearest comics shops over an hour drive and such,I started just grabbing whatever I found cheap at thriftstore,flea markets,etc. At Vendors Emporium right before X-mas 2007 I found 30 packs of 4 comics bagged together for a buck a pack. I grabbed all 30. The way they were packaged all you could see was the two outside titles. All of which were not duplicates.

I get home and start opening them up. First one I open the middle books was some random issue of Supreme and Youngblood Battlezone. And out of those 30 packs I got at least 8 copies of this book.

Under a cover from Rob Liefeld and Danny Miki,we get  a guide to Youngbloods tech and weapons. Remember those really cool tech breakdowns in The Official Handbook to the Marvel Universe? Well these are like 8th rate clones of them. Someone named Richard Horie is credited with all the interior art.And good ole Eric Stephenson is listed as writer.

For a few years I would just randomly mail various friends boxes of vhs tapes,comics and other random stuff. And I would always include a copy of this book as a gag gift.

Youngblood Battlezone #01 gets a PASS!
