Backlash #16

Backlash #16 brings some serious mid-90s Wildstorm energy to this February 1996 Image release, with cover art penciled by Mel Rubi and inked by John Tighe showcasing a gripping confrontation between a green-robed figure clutching a glowing golden sphere and a looming, silver-armored opponent bearing down from above. The dynamic composition — all sharp angles and crackling energy — captures the tension between these two figures perfectly, with the urban environment crumbling around them. With Sean Ruffner and Brett Booth steering the story and Mel Rubi handling interior art, this is a solidly crafted chapter in the ongoing Backlash saga.
