[/vc_column_text][us_separator][vc_column_text]BOOM! Studios today revealed a first look at DARK BLOOD #1, the premier issue of an evocative new six-issue original series from screenwriter LaToya Morgan (AMC’s The Walking Dead, Into The Badlands), rising star artist Walt Barna (The Osiris Path), colorist A.H.G., and letterer AndWorld Design, about a young man forging a brave new future for himself and his family while dealing with his past, available in July 2021.
Alabama, 1955. Avery Aldridge was a decorated soldier during World War II; now he’s just an ordinary young Black man busy providing for his wife and daughter. But the wounds of the past have a way of coming back, and he’ll soon discover that he is anything but ordinary. After a run-in awakens strange new abilities, Avery’s about to become more powerful than he could have ever dared to dream… in a country and society that never wanted him to have any power.
DARK BLOOD #1 features main cover art by acclaimed artist Valentine De Landro (Bitch Planet), and variant covers by illustrators Juni Ba (Excellence) and Dan Mora (Once & Future).[/vc_column_text][us_separator][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][us_image_slider ids=”33051,33052,33053,33054,33055,33056,33057,33058″ nav=”thumbs” fullscreen=”1″ img_fit=”contain”][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][us_separator][vc_column_text]DARK BLOOD is the newest release from BOOM!
