Lina Juarez

A Modern Age creation who made her entrance in the pages of Blacklight #2 in 2005, Lina Juarez is an Image Comics figure who moves through some genuinely compelling company — sharing adventures with ShadowHawk, Blacklight, and a cast that includes Eddie Collins, James Collins, and the formidable Kurr. Her footprint stretches across the ShadowHawk and Bomb Queen corners of the Image universe, giving her a nicely eclectic presence across titles that defined a particular scrappy, creator-owned energy of the mid-2000s. With nine catalog appearances across a handful of years, she's the kind of character that rewards the dedicated back-issue hunter — a small but intriguing thread woven through an era of Image comics well worth revisiting.
