1 post | 1 read | 1 to read
Grant Morrison--the critically acclaimed writer boasting incredible runs on Batman and Robin, Animal Man and The Invisibles--delivers his most groundbreaking and ambitious project yet. Morrison reinvigorated seven characters from the outer reaches of DC's enormous universe: the Shining Knight, the Guardian, Zatanna, Klarion the Witch Boy, Mister Miracle, Bulleteer and Frankenstein. Each of these soldiers are pitted in battle against the Sheeda, a force of evil that threatens the entire universe. Together these reluctant champions must arise and somehow work together to save the world...without ever meeting one another. Collected in one volume for the first time ever, Seven Soldiers by Grant Morrison is an epic tale of life, death, triumph and redemption that explores the nature of heroism and sacrifice. This omnibus collects this incredible comics event written by Morrison, with art by J.H. Williams III (The Sandman: Overture), Doug Mahnke (JLA), Pasqual Ferry (Action Comics), Cameron Stewart (Batgirl), Simone Bianchi (Detective Comics), Freddie Williams II (Robin) and others. Seven Soldiers By Grant Morrison Omnibus collects Seven Soldiers #0-1, Seven Soldiers: Shining Knight #1-4, Seven Soldiers: Guardian #1-4, Seven Soldiers: Zatanna #1-4, Seven Soldiers: Klarion The Witch Boy #1-4, Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle #1-4, Seven Soldiers: Bulleteer #1-4 and Seven Soldiers: Frankenstein #1-4.

One of the finest works of comics criticism ever made, and an excellent adventure story to boot. SEVEN SOLDIERS doubles as a critique of a trying time at DC Comics and a story about seven heroes who never meet inadvertently working together to combat an invasion of fairies intent on harvesting the planet. Gorgeous art, wildly stylistic storytelling, and a genuinely mythic feel help make this dense, difficult book a joy to me.
