2000 AD #1452

Prog 1452 of 2000 AD arrives with a cover by Charlie Adlard that doubles as a defiant piece of wartime propaganda — a figure in black raises his arm defiantly against a backdrop of looming military hardware and a burning orange sky, all framed by the rallying cry "Support Your Local Resistance." The issue's tagline, "Don't Take It Lying Down!", gives the whole thing a charged, revolutionary energy that fits perfectly with the anthology's self-proclaimed identity as the "Official Comic of the Revolution." Inside, Gordon Rennie and Carlos Ezquerra bring their combined talents to "Matters of Life and Death," promising the kind of gritty, high-stakes storytelling this weekly does so well.
