Exclusive: Anna And Coyote Fight For Their Lives In 'Backways' #5 Preview
04/26/2018 06:25 pm EDT
Things are getting insane in the Backways, and now you can get your first look at the next action-packed issue.
The hunt for Sylvia is on in AfterShock's Backways #5, and as you can tell in the preview no one, and we mean no one, wants Anna to find her best friend. Well, except for Coyote, but odds are there's something in it for her as well. Still, they won't find anything if the Wolf catches them, and it is up to Anna and her new powers to get the Wolf off their trail.
To be fair, their hesitancy to let her find Syliva is understandable when you consider the possible cost. Sylvia is currently held captive by the Outsider, who just about demolished the Backways in its last rampage. If Anna lets him loose to save Sylvia, the entire Backways is at risk, and the citizens of this magical place aren't about to go out quietly.
You can check out the new preview in the gallery.
The visuals of Backways are handled by Eleonora Carlini, and writer Justin Jordan has been floored by her work so far.
"I'd actually talked to Eleonora about another project, and when AfterShock became interested in Backways, I suggested her," Jordan said. "Which was totally a great move, because she is awesome on this. She's really, really elevated the book and she continues to blow my mind. I think my favorite thing so far is the design for Fell, in the second issue. In the script he's described as an immensely fat man. What Eleonora drew was that but... very different than what you're probably picturing."
