2000 AD #1146

Prog 1146 of 2000 AD arrives with a striking Greg Staples cover showcasing a hard-edged figure in "DUR" body armor thrusting his badge directly toward the viewer — a visual declaration that Dexter is making the shift from hitman to lawman in Downlode. The banner headlines promise a Doomsday Scenario unleashed against Judge Dredd, while a brand-new pulp sci-fi story, "To Insanity & Beyond," kicks off featuring Buzz Tycho. Inside, Dan Abnett and Paul Johnson continue "Return of the Assassin" into its sixth chapter, keeping this 1999 weekly packed with reasons to dive straight in.
