2000 AD #2275

Prog 2275 of Britain's long-running anthology brings "The Intestinauts" front and center, with a swarm of pint-sized, heavily armed robots tumbling through what appears to be a microscopic battlefield — the tagline promising "guts and glory as the war on the micro-level returns." The cover, signed by Pye, is a wonderfully dense piece of mechanical chaos: a central combat-suited bot with a glowing green visor and a chunky chest display dominates the foreground, surrounded by dozens of its comrades bristling with weaponry in every direction. If you've been waiting for small-scale sci-fi warfare delivered with big energy, this prog looks like a very satisfying re-entry point.
