Preview: 2000 AD Prog 2321
2000 AD Prog 2321 is out this week, featuring a brand-new case for Judge Dredd from Ken Niemand and former Sláine artist Leonardo Manco, as Succession sees corporate bloodletting reach typically Mega-City maniacal levels.
Elsewhere, Joe Pineapples and Ro-Jaws are falling through space in the penultimate part of Tin Man, Cyd makes a pilgrimage to question the Truth Trumpet of Celestial Knowledge, Midnight Indicating Shame leads her rebellion in Proteus Vex, and The Order crash through the chrono-streams!
Plus there's an absolutely stunning Dredd cover from Jock. Rebellion recently started releasing the Prog cover art as prints, so this will be one to look out for.
