NA: 1 (Rogue Trooper: Tales of Nu-Earth)

Rogue Trooper is a popular character from the 2000AD Sci Fi anthology who has been around since 1981. This series collects his adventures from the very beginning.Rogue might not be one of the more widely known outside of comics readers though he starred in a successful game from Rebellion studios some years ago (recently remastered) on consoles and PC.I must admit volume one feels quite traditional as a war story in some wars but thrown in lots of sci fy and tech elements to make it stand out. The writing and art are all great and it's definitely one I'd recommend checking out if looking for some of britains comics gems.

I've been tripping merrily down memory lane with these Rebellion Press reprints, and Rogue Trooper is my most recent acquisition. I have to say that while Strontium Dog, Nemesis the Warlock and a good proportion of the early Dredd stories really impressed me with their originality and depth, Rogue Trooper is a much more straightforward affair and I probably won't be dipping back into it. Dave Gibbons' artwork is, of course, superb, as is Cam Kennedy's, but the plots are repetitive and pretty close to your traditional war-comic fare, except the baddies yell 'Nain!' when they're shot instead of 'Gott in Himmell!' Having said that my 8 year old is completely hooked and devoured the book in a couple of days - maybe one for today's kids rather than yesterday's.

The book arrived quickly but it had marks on the front and back covers that looked like grease or glue. I immediately ordered a return. The new copy arrived the next morning, which was good service. But it also had similar marks on the covers. I was excited to get reading so I thought I had nothing to lose by trying to clean them off. I used some water and a kitchen towel and it works. However, it's not very pleasant to get a new book with some unknown substance on it from someone's fingers. On the book itself, I read 2000AD as a child and Rogue Trooper was always my favourite character so I'm really excited about it. Shame it's in black and white though.

Great book on the rogue trooper stories great book if you a fan of 2000AD well worth the price book was fantastic

Great size, volume and content. Better than I remembered, now my pre-teen son can enjoy it too.
