About the author

Rob Liefeld is an American comic book writer, illustrator, and publisher. A prominent artist in the 1990s, he has since become a controversial figure in the medium.

In the early 1990s, self-taught artist Liefeld became prominent due to his work on Marvel Comics' The New Mutants and later X-Force. In 1992, he and several other popular Marvel illustrators left the company to found Image Comics, which rode the wave of comic books owned by their creators rather than by publishers. The first book published by Image Comics was Rob Liefeld's Youngblood #1.

He is married to actress Joy Creel.

As you would expect, art is awful.
Story is bland and boring, just a string of events.
I don't know if this was written before Team 7 but if so it should have been pulled and rewritten because the timeline for this issue bears no resemblance to the events of Team 7.
Looking at release dates it looks as though this came out around the same time as the early Team 7 books where Slade being estranged from Adelade and a kid is mentioned and Slade already is older with white hair. Oh, and Fairchild isnt a man in an iron mask 🤔

I always wince when I see the next book on the reading order is by Liefeld. That means it going to be a a slog to get through. This was no different.
