2000 AD #2329

The cover of prog 2329 announces "Fruiting Bodies: Hybrid Horror in Enemy Earth" with a seething mass of grotesque plant-fungal creature hybrids — writhing, fanged, and deeply unsettling — rendered by Luke Horsman in warm earthy tones shot through with flashes of teal and gold. It's a gloriously repulsive image that captures 2000 AD's signature willingness to go somewhere mainstream comics simply won't. Inside, Ken Niemand, Neil Googe, Gary Caldwell, and Annie Parkhouse continue "The Disciples of Death" in what promises to be another sharp installment from Tharg's 2023 lineup.
