Hardball

A product of Image Comics' mid-'90s Wildstorm boom, Hardball debuted in 1996's Gen 13 #10, brought to life by the celebrated creative team of Brandon Choi, J. Scott Campbell, and Ryan Odagawa at the height of that universe's wild, energetic prime. Sharing panels with the likes of Grunge, Sigma, and Rake, this character moves through some of the most kinetic corners of the Wildstorm Universe. With appearances also in Wildstorm Universe 97, Hardball occupies a compact but genuine slice of a beloved era — a rare find for collectors digging deep into one of the '90s most visually dazzling publishers.
