Backlash #7

Backlash #7 (1995) delivers a raw, emotional turning point as the title character, still reeling from his lover Diane’s coma, finally reunites with her—only to face a devastating truth. When he confesses his past physical connection with Taboo, Diane’s trust shatters, leading her to leave and return to Stormwatch. Meanwhile, the Chasers close in on Taboo, and Dingo makes a surprising alliance with the Kindred. Written by Sean Ruffner, Jeff Mariotte, and Brett Booth, with art by Melvin Rubi, Brett Booth, and Dan Norton, and colors by Martin Jimenez, Jessica Ruffner, Greg Rosewall, and Wildstorm Effects, this issue blends personal stakes with escalating conflict. The cover by Brett Booth and Edwin Rosell captures the tension in a single, charged moment.
