Armorclads #2 Preview Pages

 

Armorclads #2 Cover A by Bagus Hutomo


Here you go, comic fans: the first five pages from Armorclads #2, perhaps the most exciting new title Valiant Entertainment has produced for some time. As a lifelong science fiction fan, it's definitely rocking my world. Enjoy!

 

From Valiant Entertainment:

What happens after a mission goes completely FUBAR? With Sam and SGT Troy dead, the Major is determined to get to the bottom of what went wrong in Outpost 12. With the Outpost split up, the fates of several Ironclad workers hang in the balance as the mystery of Alpharon continues to build. Can our disenfranchised heroes claim agency and take back some measure of control?


ARMORCLADS #2 is created by JJ O'CONNOR, co-written by JJ O'CONNOR and BRIAN BUCCELLATO, pencilled by MANUEL GARCIA, inked by RAÜL FERNÁNDEZ, colored by REX LOKUS, and lettered by DAVE SHARPE. ARMORCLADS #2 features covers by BAGUS HUTOMO (Cover A and C), LIVIO RAMONDELLI (COVER B), and IKHWAN WALLIYUDDIN (Pre-order Variant). 


 

Looking for answers about what happened with Sgt. Troy, the Major and his Armorclads remove the Ironclads from Outpost 12, taking Peris in for questioning and reassigning the others. But with the remaining Ironclads en route to a new outpost, the deadly Legionnaires strike, leaving Lela and her friends caught in the crossfire.

We're already learning a little more about Alphan society here. Despite the promises of earning their citizenship or freedom, the Alphan soldiers on Xeru all regard the genetically engineered Armorclads as insignificant. So it wasn't just Sergeant Troy who called them grubs.


I can't wait 'til Wednesday, April 20, when you'll get to read how this story of soldiers, mercenaries, and vat-grown slaves continues in Armorclads #2!

Oh, and happy Easter, everyone!
