Seven Soldiers is an epic tale of life, death, triumph
and redemption that explores the nature of heroism and sacrifice.
This first of four volumes features the exploits of four of
the seven soldiers: the Shining Knight, the Guardian, Zatanna,
and Klarion the Witch Boy. Independently, each of these characters
is featured in a story that redefines their purpose in the
DC Universe. But their stories also interweave with the other
soldiers' tales, and tells a grander story of devastating
global threat to mankind. Together these reluctant champions
must arise and somehow work together to save the world...
without ever meeting one another...
Volume
One of
Seven Soldiers of Victory introduces
us to
four of the final seven soldiers - including Zatanna, famed
Justice League member and burnt out spellcaster; Manhattan
Guardian, an ex-cop turned superhero journalist; Klarion the
witch boy, a puritan from a lost, underground American colony;
and Shining Knight, a swordsman from the Camelot-era who has
been flung into present day LA.
As
a stand alone collection, this will have you salivating for
more and I was pleased that author Grant Morrison introduced
us to the first four members of the team slowly. It would
have been all too easy to have rushed their introductions
so that all seven members were presented in the first chapter,
but that would have taken away a lot of the mystery and depth
of storytelling that we are presented with.
How
can seven heroes from very different backgrounds join forces
to save the world? And how can they do this without actually
coming together and working as a team?
I'm
very much looking forward to seeing how this collection develops
- it's managed to get off to a very promising start.
