George Perez in the Prog!!!

[Colin YNWA]

A few years ago I would have had such a nerdgasm about this. Even though my reaction is a little more tempered now this is stuill bloody exciting news (via 2000ad Megaverse on dat der Faciebookis)

Or did you all know this already and I'm being daft?

[gameluvah]

I didn't! Thanks for the heads up! Fantastic news!

[PsychoGoatee]

Looks good! Pretty 80s/early 90s vibe to it.

[TordelBack]

Getting Robin Smith to draw that would probably have been cheaper!  But yeah, Perez is one of the greats, good to see him do something for the prog.

[Woolly]

Really don't like that cover, sorry.
Looks like it should be on a DC Dredd...

[JayzusB.Christ]

I'm not too familiar with most non-2000ad comic artists myself. I'd only heard his name in passing. I hate to say it but I'm with Woolly here.

[JamesC]

Pérez is a great artist but I don’t think he’s quite captured the feel of Dredd here.
A Cliff Robinson or Chris Weston cover would have been better - both have that finely detailed style and both do great Dredd.

[broodblik]

I agree with Woolly as well the cover does not look that great.

[Darren Stephens]

It's OK, but Death looks a little....little. 

[JayzusB.Christ]

Still, better than Frank Miller's Megazine job.

[SIP]

It's great to see Perez do a cover, and as he's an internationally recognised star artist, it can only be a positive thing for 2000ad.

I love it! A little 80's but great 80's. Perez was noted for the crowds of supes, I'd love to see him do a Dredd world cover, something like this.

[JayzusB.Christ]

Now that's just luvverly.

[Link Prime]

Love Perez natch, but can't say that cover is doing anything for me.

Love Perez natch, but can't say that cover is doing anything for me.

Same here (well, I have no attachment to Perez, don't know who the guy is), but that cover seems to have the composition of a dadaist artwork - no focus (or two many focii).
