2000 AD #2448

A hulking clone soldier crouches in the shadows of some tunnel or trench, gripping a bloodied blade and staring down whatever lurks ahead — the cover's tagline promises a clash between this grey-skinned warrior and the Nort Cannibal Corps, and the dripping, visceral surroundings make clear that encounter is going to be deeply unpleasant for someone. The heavy tech gear, glowing red sensor lenses, and taut musculature give the figure a genuinely menacing presence that fills the frame. It's the kind of grim, action-charged Prog that reminds you why 2000 AD has always pushed the edges of science-fiction warfare storytelling.
