Backlash #18

Two powerful figures clash in a storm of debris and crackling energy on Brett Booth and Al Vey's cover for this March 1996 Image title — a white-haired armored combatant squares off against a dark-suited fighter channeling blazing flames from his hands, the whole scene erupting in golden light and flying rubble. Booth's kinetic linework gives the confrontation a real sense of force, and Pennington's inks on the interior keep that same sharp energy throughout. A solid chapter in this mid-1990s WildStorm-era series for fans who like their superhero action loud and unrestrained.
