Tuesday 29th September marks the anniversary of Rogue Trooper’s debut in the pages of 2000 AD, and to celebrate we’re happy to share with you the cover for our forthcoming collection of Rogue's recent return to 2000 AD in Rogue Trooper: Blighty Valley by Garth Ennis and Patrick Goddard.  Created by writer Gerry Finley-Day and artist Dave Gibbons and debuting in 2000 AD in 1981, Rogue Trooper is the last of the G.I.s – Engineered infantry designed to survive the poisoned and war-torn world of Nu Earth.

  ARCADE KINGS #4 Writer: Dylan Burnett Artist: Dylan Burnett, Walter Baiamonte, Sara Antonellini Letterer: Andworld Design Publisher: Image Comics Release Date: August 30, 2023 Cover Price: $7.99 "Get on board with ARCADE KINGS!" -DANIEL WARREN JOHNSON (DO A POWERBOMB!, MURDER FALCON) ROUND FOUR: FIGHT! Joe's search for his missing brother is over, but now the real battle begins. Ken's leveled up since he last saw Joe, and he's ready to throw down. It's a brother vs. brother matchup to see who's strongest! Score: ★★★★☆ (4/5) QUICK REVIEW: It's incredibly hard to jump into a new series mid-arc, no matter how good it may be, because like this fourth issue of 'Arcade Kings' it's an accumulation of events that have built up between two characters, brothers in this case, and it's a tense contentious reunion that only readers who've read from the beginning can appreciate. For those who have, Joe, finding Ken after all these ...
