ppetropoulakis's review against another edition

In the war ravaged world of Nu Earth, Rogue trooper is a genetically modified soldier that can withstand the chemclouds that have laid waste to the battlefield. Ambushed and alone with his dead comrades' personality chips he tries to solve the mystery of betrayal and have revenge on the traitors that have caused him pain. Classic 2000AD themes, with stories from Alan Moore and Gerry Finley-Day. Dave Gibbons has drawn much of the graphics and his style is as awesome as in Watchmen, many years later. All in all highly recommended stories although at some times the 2000AD 80s campiness is very strong especially seen in the Neuropa arc.

A mixed bag. Some good stories; some bad stories.
I'd forgotten how episodic 2000AD was (necessarily).

The power of nostalgia is an amazing thing but it can also lead to selective amnesia. I remember reading Rogue Trooper in 2000AD as a kid and it being one of the best stories in the comic.
A reread however shows it to be good though a little derivative at times.
Part of the problem with the book however comes from the serial nature of the original story in that it spends too much time each episode repeating previously provided information.
The standout stories are however the two Alan Moore inclusions. Moore takes the environment and canon built by Finley-May moving it on to make it so much more, proving that he is one of if not the best writer of his generation.

I liked some of the components, but overall, definitely not my thing. The cover art style though - I could do with more of that in the world.

Oh, there is a REALLY big part of me that wants to give this five stars. It is so close to five stars. But not quite.

Old school writing but some astounding art but some of 2000 AD’s greats.

I genuinely found this a chore to get through. Essentially it is Kubertesque war stories given a slight science fiction covering. It improves a little bit for the last couple of tales, written by Alan Moore but I found little to interest me.
