Today is the 42nd anniversary of Rogue Trooper’s debut, and as part of the celebration, 2000 AD announced Garth Ennis and Patrick Goddard are teaming for Rogue Trooper: Blighty Valley.
Blighty Valley is Rogue’s first regular appearance in 2000 AD in a number of years – a thirteen-part story set at ‘Night’s Horizon’, the annual event where Nu Earth’s orbit carries it closest to a nearby black hole. The Norts call it Zvartchvintern; the first settlers knew it as Lightfall. Things have a reputation for going a little… screwy around this time. Now, Rogue and his bio-chip buddies are about to experience those effects first-hand…
Matt Smith, editor of 2000 AD said, “Garth Ennis has written classic 2000 AD characters before, but this is the first time he’s scripted Rogue Trooper. As you’d expect from someone steeped in war comics, his take on the G.I. is powerful, thrilling and explosive. With Patrick Goddard providing the stunning visuals, this a dramatic, unmissable addition to the Nu Earth saga.”
Rogue Trooper: Blighty Valley arrives on July 2, 2024.
