About the series
Published by Image from 1994 to 1997, Backlash ran for 32 issues, anchored by frequent writer/artist Brett Booth alongside writers Sean Ruffner and Jeff Mariotte, and artists Juvaun Kirby and Pete Woods. The series centered on the genetically enhanced operative Marc Slayton—codenamed Backlash—and his team, including Amanda Reed, Taboo, and allies like Cyberjack and Cole Cash, navigating a world of corporate espionage and superhuman conflict. A key entry in Image’s early superhero line, it showcased Booth’s dynamic, kinetic art style and helped define the publisher’s ’90s action-adventure ethos.
