Notes & Trivia[]

This issue shipped with multiple variant covers, several spotlighting different members of the Youngblood team. The standard cover featured Shaft. One alternate featured Badrock. Another alternate featured Diehard and another alternate featured Knightsabre. There is also a variant cover with the entire team as well as an Extreme Zombie Edition released through Arcade's publisher Jimmy Jay and Jay Company Comics.

In 1993, Liefeld solicited Youngblood stories from writer Kurt Busiek, who wrote detailed plots for three issues and ideas for a fourth, for Youngblood: Year One. This was never produced; however, in 2000, Liefeld began soliciting orders for Youngblood: Genesis, using Kurt Busiek's unused "Year One" plots. Busiek asked Liefeld to be only credited with plots on this new series. He was only listed as plotter on the comic book itself when it came out years later, but when Liefeld solicited the comic through Diamond Previews as written by Kurt Busiek, Busiek accused Liefeld of not honoring their agreement, and eventually asked that his fans not buy the series. It officially ended after two issues, as the third and fourth issues would have used Image Comics characters that Liefeld did not have the copyrights to.
