2000 AD #1516

Prog 1516 of 2000 AD arrives with a cover by Simon Fraser that throws you straight into the chaos — a massive, armored creature dominates the foreground, its claws splayed wide, while a terrified older man is caught in its grip and a fighter goes crashing through the background in an explosion of debris. The cover tagline asks pointedly: "Can Dante foil the plan to eradicate Vlad?" — teasing high stakes for the Nikolai Dante strip inside. Also packed in is "Origins Part 12: Firestorm," with the celebrated team of writer John Wagner and artist/colorist Carlos Ezquerra delivering what promises to be another gripping chapter of their ongoing epic.
