2000 AD #2144

Prog 2144 of Britain's beloved weekly anthology heralds the return of Jaegir, and the cover makes that promise feel genuinely electric — a vast, haunting face dominates the composition while armored figures clash amid bursting energy blasts above, and a tide of flame-wreathed, shambling figures surges forward below in a collision of cold dread and blazing chaos. The bold "War Crimes & Retribution" tagline sets a suitably grim tone for what this prog has in store. At 2.85 GBP, it's a fine 2019 entry point for anyone drawn to 2000 AD's distinctive blend of sci-fi tension and striking visual storytelling.
