The original "Youngblood" series resumed in June 1994 from issue #6, now published monthly, and strongly integrated with "Team Youngblood" with plot developments and characters crossing back and forth between the two titles. Old characters were brought back including Shaft, Badrock, Vogue, Combat and Brahma, while new ones were introduced including Knightsabre, Troll, and trainee recruits Task and Psilence. Issue #9 of "Youngblood" was an out-of-continuity story written and pencilled by Jim Valentino as part of "Image X Month", where creators swapped titles. The original volume of "Youngblood" ended with issue #10 in December 1994, having been delayed. "Youngblood: Strikefile" also resumed in July 1994 from issue #5 as an anthology of stories spotlighting various individual main characters; it ended with issue #11.
