Starship Troopers news

Funny, just as I finished reading the latest story arc, Markosia decided to announce a new story arc. From CBR:

• AAM/Markosia, announce "Triple Threat", the biggest event ever in the Starship Troopers ongoing series.
• Three stories, linked over two parts by writer Cy Dethan, with guest writers Tony Lee (Doctor Who) and Christian Beranek (Willow Creek), and guest artists Neil Edwards, Scott James and Jim Boswell. It's the Vandals versus the Tigers in a race to save the federation against the Civilian Militia -- but who are the Reaper Cell and what is their connection to SICON?
• I had a blast helping define a new element in the ST universe: the psychics! Expect some mental carnage, for sure.
• Starship Troopers: Triple Threat runs in issues 9 and 10. The first part will be out in July, with the conclusion following in August.

As I said while reviewing Bad Blood, I'm looking forward to this new story. I just hope that 2 issues is long enough to really develop the story, and that the art will be better then in Bad Blood.

Starship Troopers #5-8 - Bad Blood

This story arc does not continue the adventures of the Tanner Tigers. Instead it introduce a new MI squad "the Vandals" and a new alien enemy. The story is good. The alien enemy is actually another technological advanced race who hate the bugs as much as the humans does. But instead of joining forces they fight each other. The arc ends with the aliens withrawing after a change of leadership leaving the humans to deal with the bugs.

The art isn't good. The drawings themsleves are beautiful but hard to dechiper what's going on. Esp. due to the nonchrom coloring. Everything is either grey tinted or green tinted.

I enjoyed the story and looking forward to the next installment esp. since it has Tony Lee, who wrote all the other story arcs, as guest writer. I do hope that the art and coloring will be better.

Starship Troopers

It's not Stargate, Star Trek or even Star Wars, but I like the stories. Found the "Blaze of Glory" issues in a comics con and got hooked. This month the ongoing series is supposed to resume with new creative team. I hope that I'll like their as much as I liked Tony Lee's work. So far the various series told the story of Will Tanner from his recruitment to him leading his own squad.

Starship Troopers: Blaze of Glory #1-4

Starship Troopers: Dead Man's Hand #1-4

Getting all 4 issues was kind of an adventure. After enjoying Blaze of Glory, I went to CNV and found only issue #1. Months later, issue #4 appeared in CNV's bargain bin. Then on last Free Comic Book Day issues #2-3 and only them appeared in Comikaza's bargain bin. Luckily it was just before Damaged Justice's issue #4 was released, so i was able to read it in the right order. :)

Starship Troopers: Damaged Justice #1-4

Starship Troopers #1-4
