Description
FIGHT HARD. DIE WELL
They are the best of the best. Alpha Company, 1st Genetic Infantry have been created for war. Able to survive in the harshest environments, each clone warrior knows how to obey orders. Fight hard. Die well. But as the sole survivor of a brutal massacre, Friday starts to question those who have made him this way, making an uncontrollable war machine the most dangerous creature in the galaxy!
Written by Dave Gibbons (The Watchmen, Green Lantern) and featuring the beautiful painted artwork of Will Simpson (Vamps, Hellblazer), this gritty future war tale reimagines the classic 2000 AD strip Rogue Trooper in the way Gibbons had always wanted the story to be told.
