2000 AD #2106

A striking cover image sets the tone for this 2018 issue of Britain's beloved weekly anthology, depicting a young woman in profile as a spiraling mandala of ghostly, teal-tinted faces looms behind her against a star-flecked void — an unsettling vision that perfectly teases Brink's "End Times" storyline and its promise to "Enter the Myth of Madness." The contrast between her grounded, everyday appearance and the swirling crowd of spectral visages creates an atmosphere of psychological unease that draws you straight in. At £2.85, Prog 2106 looks like a compelling week for 2000 AD readers in 2018.
