2000 AD #1865

A postcard-style cover sets a wryly sardonic tone for this 2014 prog, with the tagline "Greetings from the Grey Area — Where E.T.s Are Always Served with a Smile and a Taser." Patrick Goddard's cover art brings together a grinning, armored human soldier and a towering, horned alien with dreadlocks and a scarred, imposing frame — both posing with an almost tourist-snapshot cheerfulness against a chaotic cityscape backdrop. Inside, Rob Williams and Henry Flint continue "Titan Part Four," promising more of the sharp, propulsive sci-fi storytelling that makes 2000 AD such a reliable weekly thrill.
