2000 AD #2209

This 2020 prog from Rebellion's long-running British anthology announces "Bad Blood!" in bold red letters, teasing that Constanta takes his first taste of immortality. The cover presents a striking tableau: a pale, steel-eyed woman crowned with golden feathers and delicate flowers dominates the composition, clutching a blood-streaked ornate object, while a tattooed warrior with a spear, a bloodied armored figure below, and a gaunt white-haired figure loom around her in a swirl of grey tendrils. It's a beautifully composed, myth-drenched image that makes this prog feel like essential reading.
