Backlash #22

Backlash #22 brings the intensity in this 1996 Image series, with cover art by Juvaun Kirby and John Tighe showcasing a brutal four-way clash — a laughing, green-clad villain, a massive blue bruiser with glowing yellow eyes, and two other combatants caught in the thick of it, one with his face squeezed in an iron grip. The cover does a great job of conveying raw, in-your-face action that defined the WildStorm era's energetic visual style. With Sean Ruffner and Brett Booth on the story, fans of hard-hitting superhero action will find plenty to dig into here.
