Seven Soldiers is an epic tale of life, death, triumph
and redemption that explores the nature of heroism and sacrifice.
This second of four volumes features the exploits of four
of the seven soldiers: the Shining Knight, the Guardian, Zatanna,
and Klarion the Witchboy. Independently, these characters
are featured in a story arc that redefines their purpose in
the DC Universe. But their stories also interweave and tell
a grander story of a devastating global threat to mankind.
Together these reluctant champions must somehow work together
to save the world... without ever meeting one another...
Volume
Two of Seven Soldiers of Victory sees the story
continue where Volume
One left off. In fact, we've still not been
introduced to all seven soldiers - just the four we already
know from Volume One. As I mentioned before, I love
the fact that the author, the great Grant Morrison, is taking
his time with this series - slowly introducing several of
the soldiers and letting us really get to know them before
bringing in the rest of the team.
Things
are very slowly starting to slot into place as we learn a
little more about why seven soldiers are required, and why
they must never know of each other's existence.
I
particularly loved the Newsboy Army segment of this
collection - where we take a trip down memory lane to see
how things were before the Guardian was the core news collector
and vigilante for the Manhattan Guardian.
You'll
have a problem delving straight into this collection, and
are strongly advised to pick up the first volume before you
start here. It's well worth your time and money though.
