2000 AD #2161

Prog 2161 of Britain's beloved weekly anthology sets the tone immediately: Judge Dredd looms large in the foreground, jaw set and eagle badge gleaming, while behind him a pair of grotesque droid body-harvesters — one sleek and cyclopean, the other a grisly amalgam of metal and exposed flesh — close in with menacing intent. The cover tagline "Organ Malfunction! J.D. Battles the Deranged Droid Body-Harvesters" promises exactly the kind of darkly inventive sci-fi mayhem that makes 2000 AD such a rewarding weekly read. A strong 2019 entry in the long-running Rebellion-published series that continues to deliver vivid, unsettling imagery week after week.
