2000 AD #2342

This prog of 2000 AD promises a striking change of scenery, with the cover teasing "Urban Renewal" as Dexter discovers a transformed Downlode. Tazio Bettin's cover art dominates with a lone, red-suited figure striding forward dual-wielding pistols, framed by ornate brick architecture and large stone bird statues while a crowd of onlookers — some in white garments, others armored — lines the street behind him. It's a visually rich, confident composition that makes this issue feel like a real turning point for the Downlode saga.
