Backlash #28

Backlash strides forward with unmistakable purpose on this January 1997 Image cover — clad in his sleek black-and-white costume with a bold circular chest emblem, he's framed by swirling energy that fills the background with warm orange and crackling white light. Cover pencils by Juvaun Kirby and inks by Saleem Crawford give the figure a powerful, polished presence that captures the WildStorm era at full stride. A solid entry in this long-running series, with interior work from a capable creative team including Pete Woods on art.
