2000 AD #1725

2000 AD Prog 1725 announces itself with a cover by Henry Flint that's genuinely hard to look away from — a massive, swirling planetary vortex tears apart everything around it, with debris, machinery, and figures hurled violently into the chaos as a lone humanoid form is caught in the destruction. The tagline "Destroyer of Worlds! Shakara Powers Up" makes clear this is a moment of enormous, universe-threatening scale for one of 2000 AD's most formidable figures. Inside, Al Ewing, John Higgins, Sally Hurst, and Annie Parkhouse deliver "Served Cold Part Eight," promising another sharp installment of this 2011 series.
