Starship Troopers Gets Triple Threat

Annoying Gaming Habits, and How to Deal with Them

Tabletop roleplaying games, as well as LARPs are exercises in social contracts. Whenever a group of people sit down to play they all have to agree on the system, the arbitration of said system and on hundreds of unspoken rules. Of course, in this hodgepodge system there's always room for someone to start rocking boats, rattling cages and tipping over cows.

AAM/Markosia has announced a brand new story arc for 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?

“When Harry [Markos] asked me to come on board to co-write the story, my immediate answer was ‘yes’,” says Christian Beranek in a prepared statement. “Now, I don’t do a lot of licensed comics or work for hire books, but Starship Troopers is one of my favorite franchises. As was the case with writing the origin of John Doe for Se7en, I had a blast helping define a new element in the ST universe: the psychics! Expect some mental carnage, for sure.”

The first installment of Triple Threat arrives in July, with the conclusion hitting stands in August in issue #10 of Starship Troopers.
