* RealitySubtext: ''Youngblood (2017)'' is about a new team created to be a RedeemingReplacement for the original Youngblood, who are considered a failure, hated by the general public and not even remembered fondly by the original members due to being overly violent, arrogant and considering themselves above and beyond the law (in other words, being [[NinetiesAntiHero Ninties Anti-Heroes]]). Likewise, the relaunch itself is an attempt to revive the ''Youngblood'' franchise, as Rob Liefeld's original run is largely considered everything wrong with UsefulNotes/TheDarkAgeOfComicBooks.

* PromotedFanboy: Jim Towe had no previous resume going in. However, Liefeld took notice of this [[https://twitter.com/jimtowe/status/738040858465865729 tweet]] by Jim Towe depicting fan art redesigns of Suprema, Doc Rocket, Shaft, Vogue and Sentinel made as a response of ComicBook/DCRebirth, just in time when Liefeld was looking to revive the series for its 25th anniversary. This gave Towe his very first professional gig, and it happened by chance. Notably, the designs for all the characters sans Shaft were actually [[AscendedFanon incorporated into being their new official designs]].

* FollowTheLeader: The 2017 relaunch is essentially Image's attempt to rejuvenate the ''Youngblood'' franchise, celebrating its history while bringing in new fans, not unlike ComicBook/DCRebirth, which started roughly a year earlier. The first arc is even called "Youngblood Reborn".
