A solid if not entirely original sci-fi tale. A corporate for-profit prison uses prisoners as soldiers as the company terraforms an alien planet for humans. They just happen to be causing the genocide of the native aliens as they do so.
It’s basically the evil Weyland-Yutani Corporation from the Alien movies if they ran the prison planet from Alien3. (Did they run that? That was such a bad movie I don’t recall.) The implanted explosive to keep prisoners in check is reminiscent of Escape From New York, while both the look-and-feel and the exiled operative comes from another Kurt Russell sci-fi flick called Soldier (trailer: https://youtu.be/4oeW9sflsdg). So pretty much an 80s/90s sci-fi mash-up.

Pretty good military sci-fi. The first few issues weren't great but the second half of the series was good. No real memorable characters, but a pretty good sci-fi story for what it was.
