2000 AD #2164

This 2020 prog from Rebellion puts Judge Dredd front and center in an intense, combat-scarred cover scene — his Lawgiver blazing point-blank at the viewer, jaw set in a battle cry, surrounded by the debris of a war zone. The tagline "The Law Is a Battlefield!" captures the raw, kinetic energy radiating from the image perfectly. A solid entry in the long-running 2000 AD weekly lineup, prog 2164 promises the kind of hard-edged action the anthology has built its reputation on.
