2000 AD #1520

Prog 1520 of 2000 AD hits January 2007 with a striking cover by John Burns — a fierce, wild-haired warrior woman dominates the foreground, armed and snarling, while a blue-skinned male fighter braces himself against her in what looks like a very uneven contest. The cover tagline promises that Nikolai Dante faces "a fight of Amazonian proportions," and Burns' painted artwork makes it easy to believe the odds are firmly against him. Inside, readers also get Judge Dredd, Stickleback, A.B.C. Warriors, and Kingdom, making this a satisfyingly packed weekly from Rebellion.
