2000AD #2465 p.03 - Derek takes out a perp!

In this third page of Prog 2465, Mike Perkins delivers a masterclass in high-stakes action and technological terror. The artwork showcases the lethal efficiency of a Mechanismo unit as it initiates a brutal breach, with Perkins’ gritty, shadow-heavy style capturing the sheer panic of the criminals caught in its sights. The use of a vivid, red-tinted "scanning" panel provides a chilling POV of the robot's target acquisition, leading into a visceral final sequence of explosive judicial force. It is a defining page for the arc, visually establishing the controversial power of the "Meks" that will eventually lead to the story's tragic conclusion!
