2000 AD #1307

Prog 1307 of 2000 AD lands with a striking cover by Colin MacNeil, depicting a lone blue-armored soldier — Rogue Trooper, per the "Rogue Goes Ballistic" tagline — squaring off at close range against a hulking, heavily armored mech looming against a blood-red sky, its massive cannon barrel aimed and already firing. The asymmetry of that confrontation makes for a genuinely tense image, and the "Point Blank!" title treatment captures the desperate, up-close stakes perfectly. Inside, five sci-fi serials await, including John Wagner's "Rotten Manners Part 2" brought to life by artist and inker Paul Marshall, colorist Chris Blythe, and letterer Tom Frame.
