DC Solicitation: Written by Gerry Finley-Day (Ant Wars, Harry Twenty) and featuring art by Dave Gibbons (THE ORIGINALS, WATCHMEN), Colin Wilson (POINT BLANK), Cam Kennedy (Star Wars: Dark Empire) and more, this classic futuristic war story is a must-read!
The war between the Norts and the Southers chemically poisoned the entire atmosphere of Nu-Earth. So the Southers created the Genetic Infantrymen: blue-skinned soldiers who could breathe the toxic air, equipped with bio-chips to record their personalities in their final moments for eventual recorporation. But a Souther traitor sold the G.I.s out, and all but one were slaughtered. Now he stalks Nu-Earth on a mission of revenge, aided by his dead friends now "living" in his gun, helmet and backpack. He is the last G.I. - the Rogue Trooper!
