Hot on the heels of the best-selling Rogue Trooper: Blighty Valley, Garth Ennis and Patrick Goddard return with a new standalone Rogue Trooper graphic novel which delves into the mythos of the character.
Nu Earth: an endless battleground between Nort and Souther forces – but Rogue Trooper is the sole survivor of the Genetic Infantry, and together with the bio-chipped “ghosts” of his dead comrades he hunts down the traitor who sold out his regiment.
Now, three years after the Quartz Zone Massacre which wiped out his platoon and stalled the Genetic Infantry programme, Rogue is drawn into a web of intrigue involving a genetic engineer’s attempts to kickstart the programme again, but with the bio-chips of the dead soldiers from the original massacre – with terrible consequences.
Garth Ennis (Preacher, The Boys) and Patrick Goddard (Judge Dredd, Nina Petrova and the Angels of Death) bring you an all-new adventure featuring the iconic 2000 AD character, combining intrigue and action, and delving into the backstory of Rogue Trooper. Following the smash-hit of Blighty Valley, the team are back for a hard-hitting and fast-paced action blitz which will see Rogue tested to his limit!
Alongside the standard edition hardback featuring a cover by artist Trevor Hairsine (Captain America) is a webshop-exclusive edition with a new cover from original story artist Goddard, featuring both Rogue and his re-gened comrade Gunnar as they blast the Norts!
And to celebrate this huge milestone for Rogue Trooper, we’re proud to also announce a special limited-edition sketch edition featuring unique sketches from Goddard in each book. The Goddard droid will be hand-sketching inside fifty editions of When A GI Dies, and when they’re gone… they’re gone! These sketch editions will not be re-gened!
Only fifty of these limited-edition sketch editions will be made available, each one of them hand-drawn by Goddard, making this the ultimate prize.
Continuing our run of modern classic stories featuring Rogue Trooper, When A G.I. Dies is a standalone story for anyone interested in reading more about the character – but also forms a formidable alliance when read alongside Blighty Valley. As the Rogue Trooper movie from visionary director Duncan Jones approaches in 2026, this is a brilliant way to get onboard with 2000 AD and sign up for the Nu-Earth war effort!
Releasing on 24th March 2026, Rogue Trooper: When A G.I. Dies continues the modern missions of the Genetic Infantryman! Pre-order now to reserve your copy!
