The comic keeps KC's typical charm and humour and combines it with Anthony's clean art. The comic chronicles Abigail's journey from town to town, with the end goal of reaching King Darn's castle. A young druid called Daniel started following her after she saved his town, serving as a guide for Abigail. He hopes to convince her to save the world rather than end it but has a hard time dealing with Abigail's attitude.

* AfterTheEnd: The world of Back seems to have gone through a particularly nasty but survivable one as the only civilisation is run by the [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen kind, just ruler]] King Darn and his QuirkyMinibossSquad of enforcers.
* ApocalypseHow: The world of BACK seems to be set in a post apocalyptic wasteland and references to some sort of sanity-eroding 'Crack' are made.
** Abigail's goal is to start another one when she reaches King Darn's castle. She doesn't know how, but believes that the solution will be self evident when she arrives.
* BackFromTheDead: Abigail, apparently.

* BlandNameProduct: ''[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bismuth_subsalicylate Peppo Bismol]]''
* BulletCatch: Abigail can perform these, notably without using any fancy tricks to do so.
* EvilVsEvil: King Darn and those under his employ come off as amoral jackasses who have no problem jerking their subjects around and exploiting them, but Abigail seems little better when she [[spoiler:is willing to shoot two babies because they might be threat]] and with her stated goal of ending the world.
* {{Fartillery}}: The Tummy Boys are experts at this mode of attack, creating acidic blasts and concussive shock waves with ease.
* {{Foreshadowing}}: Some of Burpo's dialogue seems hint that the current government is a wild west style tyranny is for [[WellIntentionedExtremist a very good reason]].
* GassHole: The Tummy Boys, Burpo and Spippus have this down to an art. Bonus points for being absolutely massive tools.
* JerkAss: Due to her callous attitude and utter conviction that she doesn't need anyone's help, Abigail comes off as mean, arrogant and petulant. How much this is a result of her apparent memory loss due to being undead and how much is her actual personality is not known.
** The Tummy Boys also get mention for threatening dismemberment and almost carrying out an execution just because the townsfolk couldn't pay the taxes [[InsaneTrollLogic which Burpo had just shortened the deadline for]].
* TheHero: Abigail is the main protagonist but she comes off as more of a Nominal due to her attitude and intent.
* MakingASplash: Peeboy is a giant sponge-like member of King Darn's enforcers and can seemingly use the water in himself to sustain severed limbs and retain his amorphous form. He also seems to leak much less than a normal sponge should for how engorged he is.
* NonStandardCharacterDesign: [[spoiler:Abigail looks pretty different compared to other people under her cloak.]]
** From what we've seen so far, anyone working for King Darn possesses some rather strange physical oddities.
* TheUndead: Abigail was raised from the dead via ambiguous methods by the Witches. This has left her missing a few crucial details such as ''what sleep is''.
* SuperStrength: Abigail can hit very hard, launching people ''miles'' into the air with a kick and stopping a bullet through sheer brute strength.
** [[spoiler:The Clown takes this to hulklike levels. He can crack rocks with his bare hands and punts Abigail through buildings.]]
* UniversalAmmunition: Abigail's revolver can fire a bullet she just caught in mid-air. That's the least bizarre thing it can shoot.
* VisualPun: Frick is the king's right hand man. RIGHT HAND MAN.
