2000 AD #1906

A sharp-suited figure dominates this 2014 prog, leveling a pistol directly at the reader with cool, sunglasses-shaded menace — the cover taglines ("Love is a lie. Trust no one. Kill to order.") making the moral stakes bracingly clear. John Higgins's painted cover work gives the whole image a slick, cinematic intensity that perfectly suits the world of professional killers with no shades of grey. Inside, John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra continue their run on "Block Judge Part Seven," a reliable pairing that consistently delivers in the pages of 2000 AD.
