Wow! Couldn't figure out who Morrigun was in colour yet it's clear in black & white. Love the dazed look of Wagner, Grant, et al and I can't help seeing Elfric in Tharg.

Sorry to be thick, but what exactly does 'exclusive to the direct market' mean?

That you can only buy it direct from the 2000AD webshop or you have to order it through an LCS?

Gah! I was even thicker than a whale omelette there - should have read the whole of the thread.

Ignore this!

Right, well, no better issue to start seriously collecting again!

Bloody lovely cover.

Oh... that's bugging me now. Who's the blue guy behind Slaine/right of Nemesis?

Cheers

That's a great cover, but why is Zenith a woman?

Dunk!

Ta! Unmistakably McCarthy, but couldn't place it for some reason. Possibly because he and Shakara are about the only two characters on the cover created for the prog this century...!

I was about to argue with you... but I can`t. Is the blue haired girl top right Cadet Anderson? Or a younger Aimee Nixon?
The forced smiles on the grumpier characters are hilarious - Kano especially. And as for Hammerstein!

Hawkmumbler · 23 June, 2016, 11:03:27 AM

Pretty sure it's Cadet Anderson in undercover punk mode.

TordelBack · 23 June, 2016, 11:06:22 AM

Thought so. And the gent in the very top right? Finny?

No, he's got a tash, and looks too grey to be Finny. He's not Max Normal...urgh, that one's annoying me now.
