Hot on the heels of the best-selling Rogue Trooper: Blighty Valley, collected in 2024 Garth Ennis (The Boys, Preacher) returns with a new standalone Rogue Trooper graphic novel which delves into the mythos of the character.

Nu Earth: an endless battleground between Nort and Souther forces – but Rogue Trooper is the sole survivor of the Genetic Infantry, and together with the bio-chipped “ghosts” of his dead comrades he hunts down the traitor who sold out his regiment.

But now, three years after the Quartz Zone Massacre which wiped out his platoon and stalled the Genetic Infantry programme, Rogue is drawn into a web of intrigue involving a genetic engineer’s attempts to kickstart the programme again, but with the bio-chips of the dead soldiers from the original massacre – with terrible consequences.

Garth Ennis and Patrick Goddard (Judge Dredd, Nina Petrova and the Angels of Death) bring you an all-new adventure featuring the iconic 2000AD character, combining intrigue and action, and delving into the backstory of Rogue Trooper.
