2000 AD #2450

A fresh wave of all-new stories kicks off in this prog from the Galaxy's Greatest Comic, and the cover sets the tone with Judge Dredd — badge gleaming, pistol raised — looming behind a blue-skinned, heavily armed alien soldier who's braced with a serious-looking weapon amid a fiery, smoke-filled battlefield. It's a striking pairing of law and muscle that signals plenty of sci-fi firepower within. Rebellion's anthology flagship continues to deliver the kind of bold, kinetic cover energy that has kept 2000 AD at the forefront of British comics.
