2000 AD #944

Prog 944 of 2000 AD lands with a burst of kinetic energy, its cover by David Hine throwing two fierce figures into a storm of laser blasts, muzzle flashes, and flying shell casings — the onomatopoeia "BLAMM! PITCHOW! BRAKKA! ZINNG!" leaving absolutely no doubt about the mayhem unfolding. The tagline promises "a fistful of fast and furious future firepower," and the cover's drive-by chaos, spotlighted under the Mambo banner, makes good on that claim. Inside, Garth Ennis and Nick Percival deliver Part 5 of "Goodnight Kiss," a great reason to grab this June 1995 issue of Britain's enduring weekly anthology.
