''[[Rogue Trooper]]'' is a science fiction strip in the British comic ''[[2000 AD]]'', created by Gerry Finley-Day and Dave Gibbons and first published in 1981 and is ongoing.
Against a backdrop of a future war between two factions, the noble Southers and evil Norts, the comic follows Rogue, a G.I. ([[Super Soldier|Genetic Infantryman]]) and his three comrades' search for the Traitor General, a man in the Souther high command who sold the Southers' battle plans to the Norts, which led to the massacre of all the GIs except Rogue. His comrades are in the form of biochips (onto which a G.I.'s entire personality is downloaded at the time of death for later retrieval) and are named Gunnar (mounted on Rogue's rifle), Bagman (on his backpack) and Helm (on his helmet).
Line 14:
The series was supposedly ended for good in 1996, though the odd spinoff did appear. In 2002, popular writer Gordon Rennie revisited the Rogue continuity with a new series of stories set during the hunt for the Traitor General. This series was well received and Rennie attempted to reboot the continuity for a second time, but was blocked by the editors. He has said he would like to write more stories in the ''Rogue Trooper'' universe, but these would focus on side characters and what's going on elsewhere on Nu Earth.
