2000 AD #1378

This February 2004 prog of 2000 AD hits hard with a Mark Harrison cover showcasing a squad of hulking, heavily armored soldiers charging forward through smoke and fire, weapons blazing and red-visored helmets gleaming — a striking visual built around the "Firestorm: The V.C.s Battle for Survival" banner. Inside, Cat Sullivan handles writing and art duties across the issue's lineup, which also includes Judge Dredd, Valkyries, and The Red Seas. It's a packed weekly that wears its action-anthology identity proudly.
