Showdown

Born into the bold, boundary-pushing early days of Image Comics, Showdown made their entrance in Youngblood #3 in 1992, a creation of the inimitable Rob Liefeld right at the height of the Copper/Modern Age's explosive energy. Over roughly twelve years, this character carved out a place across titles like Team Youngblood and the crossover X-Force / Youngblood, sharing pages with a colorful cast including Sentinel, Strongarm, and Riptide. With eight catalog appearances, Showdown is one of those intriguing corners of the early Image universe — a piece of comics history for the dedicated collector who loves tracing the wild, ambitious roots of a publisher that changed the industry forever.
