Original Rogue leaned heavily into that World War II notion of a just war, with the Norts depicted as an entire army of SS-type fanatics, and the Southers more or less the American GIs. You could still have top brass baddies on the Souther side.

One of the reasons why Jaegir is so good - it muddies the waters.

It's so weird for me that 2000 AD thought it was a good idea to hire on US superhero writers to work on the comic. That's coming from my perspective that 2000 AD offered something uniquely British that was taking a different stance on the market. No heroes in capes (Klep excepted) was a breath of fresh comic air.

I realize with hindsight that a lot of British talent wanted nothing more than to get hired on by the big boys of the US and join them in their "everything in comics is basically a superhero template" world, and the editors at 2K probably figured it was a great scoop to hire on some US talent.

The results, though. The absolute worst of Rogue Trooper output. An almost complete lack of regard for continuity, or even internal logic. The article in this Meg skates neatly over the fact that most of the stories they're talking about are risible. It's a bit like "Oh yeah, that Billy McFarland - I actually helped him out on his Fyre Festival planning - it was me that chose the catering and sourced the disaster relief tents".

Just got to the image url because for some reason the other images aren't working

FTFY. It was because the second two were jpeg files, not pngs. In future, try this:

1. Go to the imgur page that is displaying your image.
2. In Windows-Chrome, right-click the image and select "Open image in new tab".
3. In the new tab, copy the URL, which will be the correct URL of the image.

(There are probably ways of achieving the same goal in other OS-browser combos.)

After having his time machine stolen, the retired A.B.C. Warrior settles down to run a boarding house in Torquay.

I want this as a comic. (Would've looked good in an all ages spin-off version of 2000 AD. Now, what to call that...)

Either a SinDex story set on the NuTitanic OR a Dredd story about an assassination attempt in the new Atlantis facility.

Shit house, more like

Such an odd remake idea. If anyone doesn't know about the original, then Honest Trailers | Road House (1989) sums it up really well.

Due to some class of psychic boobery, Anderson loses her memory and doesn't recognize any of her fellow judges.

I want to double down and have her go missing in Casablanca, thus opening the way for Wally Squad operative Rick Blaine to make contact. "Of all the Psi-Judges in all the woild..."

1. Come up with a cover pun.
2. Briefly flesh out the story.

Cover pun: "Armitage Shanks"
Story: A young Detective-Judge Armitage goes undercover in a Brit-Cit prison to investigate a series of homicides in which the victims are drowned in toilets.
