With Image Comics, Liefeld created the Youngblood series, which debuted to mild success.

Liefeld was also accused of using the company's resources to promote his personal company, Maximum Press (later Awesome Comics).

Liefeld continued to work for Marvel, DC, and Awesome Comics through the early 2000s. In 2007, he returned to Image to relaunch Youngblood, much to the surprise of many fans.
