BLOOD SQUAD SEVEN #1
Writer: Joe Casey
Artist: Paul Fry
Publisher: Image Comics
Cover Price: $3.99
Release Date: May 22, 2024
Thirty years ago, they were America's premiere celebrity superhero team. Seen on television, on tabloid magazine covers, scoring million-dollar endorsement deals...they were everywhere!
Now, a new generation takes up the mantle-or perhaps, the poisoned chalice-fulfilling a promise made decades ago: to be the heroes that a fractured America needs!
