2000 AD #2005

This striking prog from Rebellion pits two versions of Carver against each other in a flesh-and-blood showdown, as the cover's bold tagline — "The Claw at War! It's Carver vs Carver as Flesh & Blood Go Head to Head" — makes unmistakably clear. Clint Langley's cover artwork delivers a dramatic high-contrast image: a towering, hat-wearing figure in black tactical gear stands with her back to us, guns at her hips, while a smaller armed figure faces her from below — the visual tension between the two making the confrontation feel genuinely charged. Inside, "Act of Grud Part Two" continues with writer Rob Williams and the triple-threat artistry of Henry Flint, with lettering by Annie Parkhouse rounding out what looks to be a compelling chapter in this 2016 prog.
