Preview: Rogue Trooper #1

March 4, 2014

Back in 1981, Watchmen artist Dave Gibbons teamed with writer Gerry Finley-Day to create Rogue, a genetically-altered infantryman whose adventures unfolded in the pages of the classic British publication known as 2000 A.D., home of Judge Dredd and many other legendary creations. As they’ve done with Dredd, IDW is now launching a new American ongoing series for Rogue as well, entitled Rogue Trooper.

Check out this preview of Rogue Trooper #1, from writer Brian Ruckley and artist Alberto Ponticelli.

Comic Channel Editor

Comics Editor Andy Hunsaker has written for Yahoo! Movies, Fancast, XfinityTV and UGO, among others, covering movies and television, and has loved comics ever since he read the giant-sized Marvel Treasury Edition of The Rampaging Hulk #26 four thousand times and grew to love guys with weird heads like M.O.D.O.K. and the Bi-Beast. Therefore, he will also defend Ang Lee's Hulk, although he understands why you don't like it and won't hold that against you.

As far as reviews go, he believes the main point of being a critic is not to pass yourself off as the final arbiter of quality passing holy judgment on a work of art, but rather just to share opinions so that the reader can decide whether or not the critic is someone whose tastes generally align with theirs. If so, that reviewer is one whose work you can trust if you're curious about a particular title. If not, cue loud, angry internet vitriol.
