A.B.C. Warriors: The Mek Files #2

The second volume of The Mek Files collects more of Pat Mills' Atomic, Bacterial, Chemical Warriors in this handsome Rebellion hardback, with art contributions from Walker and Skinner. The cover plunges you straight into the chaos, packing in a dense, fiery brawl between a massive armored robot warrior dominating the foreground, a grotesque zombie-like figure on the left, a purple-caped mek, a tagged robot marked "ROVE," and a smoking tank — all rendered in rich, battle-scorched detail that practically radiates heat off the page. For fans of 2000 AD's war-machine mythology, this 2014 collection is a genuinely satisfying way to dig deep into the Warriors' world.
