I have always thought that some of Heinlein’s material might be suited for comics, Still, I’m not a comic based even partially on the Starship Troopers movie is good news.
Although some of the artworkâ€â€especially the bugsâ€â€look to be very influenced by director Paul Verhoeven’s 1997 Starship Troopers film adaptation, Lee said that the movie didn’t inspire the comics. “[The inspiration was really] the [television] series Roughnecks, which was an amalgamation of the … film and book,” he said. “For source material, however, it was [the novel]. I wanted the book and the graphic novel to be as close as possible.”
Verhoeven’s movie is absolutely loathed among true Heinlein fans. Roughnecks had some grudging admirers. So there is a possibility this comic book might not be bad.
