2000 AD #2268

The cover of Prog 2268 makes the stakes crystal clear: Proteus Vex — clad in his distinctive red-and-silver suit — charges headlong into a vast android army, blasting away at the mechanical horde as laser fire streaks across a vivid, painterly sky. The sheer number of robots stretching to the horizon gives real weight to the "Against All Odds!" tagline, making this feel like a genuinely desperate last stand. It's a stirring showcase for one of 2000 AD's more undersung sci-fi heroes, and Rebellion's anthology continues to deliver that Saturday-morning-rush feeling with unmistakable style.
