Seven armored warriors stand their ground against an enormous, eye-like mechanical entity whose glowing tendrils and sweeping energy beams dominate the cover of this 2014 prog — it's an arresting piece of science-fiction spectacle from cover artist Clint Langley. The tagline "Seven Against One — the battle lines are drawn as the ABC Warriors gun for Quartz" sets up a clash of seriously mismatched odds, with the warriors' silhouettes bristling with weapons against that vast, alien presence looming above them. Inside, Rob Williams and the triple-threat art talents of Henry Flint (on pencils, inks, and colors) join letterer Annie Parkhouse to deliver the latest chapter of this long-running British anthology's ever-inventive universe.
