It's Alex de Campi's turn to attempt Rogue Trooper, so memorably described by one of her predecessors as a gritty war story about a man with a talking hat. And on the gritty war story side of things, she does as good a job as I've seen from anyone who isn't the undisputed boss of the modern war comic, Garth Ennis; she's collaborated with veterans before, and it shows, the dialogue pitched at just the right balance of gritted teeth, gallows humour &c to ring true. On the talking hat side of things...well, there are some tweaks to the background of Rogue and his biochipped buddies which I could see exercising more hardcore fans of the character, though for me they didn't feel forced in the way retcons often can. I was less sold on the notes of pop-culture-savvy, post-Whedon snark; the big bad is a bit of an irritating caricature, even compared to the level of irritating caricature currently running our own world, and having Bagman reference the Spice Girls jarred. Still, compared to anyone else bar Ennis who's attempted the property since Cinnabar, I'd happily read more like this.

A solid retelling and remixing of the Rogue Trooper origins story that feels fresh to both new fans and old. I feel like I need to read this again however in a single sitting as the single chapter per week format especially over 3 months really breaks up the story too much.
