SERIES PREMIERE
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!

    AIPT - Collier Jennings May 22, 2024

    Blood Squad Seven #1 is a promising start; it sets up its premise but is open-ended enough to keep readers coming back. Image books like Local Man and Radiant Black have shown that there's still juice in the superhero genre, and comics in general, so hopefully this is a title that follows in those footsteps.

    With the theme of Perception vs. Reality, Blood Squad Seven leaves an impression on fans with its throwback concept. Casey delves into the past era with solid writing. Fry and Segala present the ultra violence and mystique of the past with images that will have readers talking. This will be one to keep an eye out for on NCBD. Read Full Review

    Comic Watch - Theron Couch May 22, 2024

    Backmatter should not better explain a series first issue than the issue itself. Unfortunately thats what happens here. The underlying premise has potential, but very little of that shows in the story itself. Its very likely that Blood Squad Seven #1 will live or die based on how interesting readers find that backmatter. Read Full Review

    It seems that much like the superhero comics that inspired it, Blood Squad Seven is a concept best left in the 90s. Read Full Review

    Whether you like this book or not will probably boil down to whether you were reading and enjoying comics in the 90s. I was, and I did like this book. Joe Casey is a very good writer and the art was solid. The concept of "government sponsored super team" isn't new, and neither is the aspect of it that is revealed on the last page (I won't spoil it), but it's executed well here and it should be a fun read.
