Rogue Trooper: Tales of Nu-Earth, Vol. 1 by Gerry Finley-Day
2.0
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.
