2000 AD #1633

Prog 1633 of 2000 AD announces a new story with a cover that's quietly, deeply unsettling — a group of hooded figures in bloodstained hoodies stare out from the darkness, their faces completely obscured, promising something sinister in the pages of Cradlegrave. Edmund Bagwell's cover art uses shadow and stillness to chilling effect, making these anonymous figures feel genuinely threatening without a single dramatic pose. Inside, John Wagner writes and Carl Critchlow both draws and colors Backlash Part 6, rounding out a packed 2009 issue of the Galaxy's Greatest Comic.
