Have there ever been Universal Soldier comic books and/or novels?


This concept would be awesome as a novel and comic series.

Read Rogue Trooper. UniSol is very similar I'd say. He's a genetically engineered Super Soldier though, the last of his kind.

But there haven't been any comics based on U.S. itself? :(

I swear there have been comics...

I never read them myself, but I did see advertisments on the back of some comics back when I was like seven.

It was appearently published by NOW Comics.

I own the novel based on the movie. It exists.

reply

what the name of the novel? i want to buy/download it.

The novel is just a novelization of the film entitled Universal Soldier. I own it and Timecop (the only Van Damme film novelizations I ever remember seeing) I remember the comics but I never owned any of them myself.

There's some pretty cheap used copies of the novelization on Amazon.com

Mile High Comics has the comics on their site for pretty cheap as well. I think they are just an adaptation of the film though.

Yeah, NOW Comics did a bunch of film adaptions at the time, like Freejack, Universal Soldier, Fright Night, Little Monsters and stuff. I think Fright Night is the only one they made into an ongoing series of new stories.

Lunchbox-3 is correct, the NOW Comics 'Universal Soldier' mini-series was just an adaptation of the movie. I think there were three issues.

In the early Nineties, the UK branch of Marvel Comics published a series called 'Super Soldiers' which closely copied the 'Universal Soldier' concept.
