2000 AD #2090

Rain-slicked roads and massive vehicles bear down on a lone rider in this 2018 prog from Rebellion's 2000 AD — the cover tells us Judge Dredd hits the road as commuters get caught in the crush hour, and the image delivers that tension perfectly, with Dredd's Lawmaster dwarfed between thundering trucks amid streaking headlights and driving rain. The moody blue-toned artwork captures a real sense of speed and danger, putting one of comics' most enduring lawmen right in the thick of urban gridlock gone wrong. At £2.75, prog #2090 is a fine snapshot of the anthology's continued knack for gripping, cinematic cover presentations.
