Planet Death by Derek Kolstad, Robert Venditti and Tomás Giorello

Millions of miles from home, hundreds of ships descend into the stormy atmosphere of a hostile frozen world. On board, an army of resolute men and women brace for the coming assault. They are an invasion force, on an impossible mission — destroy the devastating enemy weapon garrisoned below. Corporal Scott and his battalion are in the vanguard but the human forces are no match for their brutal alien adversaries. Scott's battalion is dead within moments. He is its lone survivor. The landing force annihilated, the battle is lost. Against overwhelming odds, Scott dares the unthinkable — cross behind enemy lines, survive the lethal landscape, evade capture by ruthless enemies, resist natural predators, face human deserters and finish the mission singlehandedly. Locked in his suit of full combat battle armor, sustained only by what he can carry, and driven by Earth's wrath, Scott must do by himself what an entire army could not. Destroy the weapon. Return home.

Derek Kolstad says "I grew up reading Bradbury, Asimov, and Heinlein. I'm a huge fan of Starcraft, so I've always had a keen interest in sci-fi. I've also always enjoyed comic books. When I came up with the idea of PLANET DEATH, it was too big of an idea. A comic book felt like the most exciting venture for the idea… I like complex worlds which simply exist behind the main character void of explanation. It just is what it is. Like an onion, we will get to peeling back its layers, but… there is no rush. The focus should always be on the hero. And no matter where – or when – we are in time, the motivations are simple… and clear. Most importantly, we can all understand – and even relate to – a man like Scott."
