Backlash #25

Backlash #25 from Image Comics hits its landmark 25th issue in 1996 with a visually striking cover showcasing a fierce, white-skinned bruiser lunging forward alongside a blue-and-red armored figure crackling with golden energy — two smaller panels below feature a lion-maned warrior and a dark-clad figure surrounded by a glowing aura. The cover art, penciled by Juvaun Kirby, Brett Booth, and Dan Norton with inks by John Tighe, Sandra Hope, and Norton, delivers the kinetic, high-energy style that made WildStorm-era action books so compelling. With "Part One" kicking off a new chapter, this is a solid addition to any mid-'90s Image collection.
