None of the characters, least of all the main chick, were relatable or likable. Reading a one-shot about scuzzy c-listers didn't Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 it for me. But I trudged on toward the next hero's tale Shining Knight and just about quit. Actually, I did quit. A story about a team of loser esque has-beens and then another about some King Arthur bullshit? No thank you. But I forgot to retur 3. But I forgot to return it to the library, ended up having to check it out again online, and then decided to give it another shot.

A guy gets outfitted by a newspaper to become their own personal superhero - aided by a bunch of newsboys who hand him tools, Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 him rides, and report happenings in the city. His nemesis for this comic? Subway Pirates. The mentally ill homeless have formed a band of literal pirates. I honestly can't decide whether I thought it was total crap or a stroke of genius. On to Zatanna! Now, I like Zatana. Her story was cool. And, yes, I finally got Klarion! His stuff was totally worth it. I'd love to read more comics with his character in it. Why aren't there more comics with him?! Ok, so all the stories are connected by this thread of evil interdimensional? Or something. I'm not really sure and I think Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 have to read the next volume to find out. At any rate, the volume picks up the pace as you go on, there's a cool twist to the story about Shining Knight that made me Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 perk up my interest in that character, and by the end, I was actually kind of sad to shut the book. Recommended for anyone looking for something a little oddball. View all 10 comments. Apr 14, Sam Quixote rated it really liked it.

In this first volume he introduces Shining Knight, an Arthurian Knight sent from his medieval-esque realm along with his winged horse into our own world via a magical cauldron I know, who hasn't heard that story a million times before, right? Grant Morrison has a reputation for going all spacey and avant-garde with his books and, while there is a bit of that here like in all his booksit's only in small doses and most of the book is accessible to the first time reader. I particularly liked Zatanna's storyline which reminded me of Neil Gaiman's Sandman inspired spinoff "Death" series. None of the four characters meet either but their storylines are intertwined and there are still three more books for Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 overall story arc of saving the universe to fill out. Williams III provides his usual extremely high level of staggeringly imaginative layouts while Stewart's artwork is as gorgeous as always. This is a promising start to an interesting series as these oddball superheroes begin their journeys to save the world somehow from evil faerie folk, interdimensional monsters, and an all- powerful sorceress. Great fun, very imaginative, bring on Book 2! View 1 comment. I enjoyed this. Great setup to a hopefully awesome series. Here we have several unlikely "warriors" and possibly "forgettable" DC universe characters who take the spotlight to defeat a multidimensional evil race called the Sheeda. This volume highlights Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 of the 7: the Shining Knight from a Merlin-type world with a flying bad-ass horsethe Guardian, Zatanna, and Klarion the Witch Boy. The idea behind this is that none of the heroes will ever meet each other, yet must somehow defeat a great evil. I look forward to seeing how it happens. It's deep and dark and grand and full of symbolism with some metaphysical ideas. Typical Grant Morrison stuff. Me likey. The four trade volumes that make up this story were originally put out as a 30 issue series, and in reprinting them the story is presented chronologically, in the order that it's suggested you should read them. But the brilliant thing about Seven Soldiers - and, to an extent, comics in general - is that you don't have to read them that way, and in fact, the series invites you to read the books in almost any order you'd like.

The Seven Soldiers of Victory issue epic by Grant Morrison is an ambitious reimagining of 7 third tier characters by introducing new concepts and settings into their back-stories. These are basically new characters as re-imagined by Morrison. The rejuvenated mythology was intended to provide fuel Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 new ongoing series. Whether these lofty targets were achieved, I cannot say because I have only read the first part of the saga. Such, my thoughts on the entire story is reserved until I can get The Seven Soldiers of Victory issue epic by Grant Morrison is an ambitious reimagining of 7 third tier characters by introducing new concepts and settings into their back-stories. Such, my thoughts on the entire story is reserved until I can get my paws on the second volume. The entire 30 issues of Seven Soldiers are collected in two deluxe hard covers. It presents the seven miniseries and the two bookends in the order of release. This is the best way to enjoy the story. Although the Seven never meet, but they face a common foe and their stories intertwine. The first three issues of Klarion, the Witch Boy round out the collection. This also includes concept art by both J. Williams, the artist on the bookend Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 Morrison on the characters. Seven Soldiers features strong writing from Morrison. New concepts and milieus like post-Arthur Camelot and Knights of the Broken Table;, an underground Puritan colony; and the subterranean societies that surround it like the Pirate Kings of the hidden subway are introduced in the first volume and there are probably more in the next. The artistic line up too is a veritable dream team. Williams, Ryan Sook, Simone Bianchi, Cameron Stewart and Frazier Irving could headline their own books now, and these Seven Soldiers issues are what started their rise as comic book stars. I really enjoyed this volume and two of the miniseries stand out for me. The Shining Knight and Klarion, The Witch Boy is two of the titles that I would have been interested to follow should they get their own ongoing series. These two would prosper if they have monthly books to showcase their art on a regular basis. I cannot recommend this book enough and Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 suggest getting the second volume to fully enjoy this wonderful story. View all 3 comments. Feb 18, Rory Wilding rated it really liked it. The best example of this would be his seven-year Batman run, which was less Frank Miller and more like the Silver Age where Batman delve into strange sci-fi territory and interacting with the Club of Heroes, which led to Morrison writing Batman Incorporated. However, being Grant Morrison, who likes to change things up, it's a team that never actually meets. The first issue drawn by JH Williams IIIthe Vigilante forms a new version of the Seven Soldiers in order to battle an arachnid-like race known as the Sheeda, only to be killed during an event known as the Harrowing. What follows is seven miniseries, each about a singular superhero, who during the course of their individual journeys will lead to the threat that destroyed the previous Seven Soldiers. From well-known creations Mister Miracle, Zatanna, Klarion the Witch Boy to Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 little-known characters Frankenstein, Shining Knight to the brand spanking new Bulleteer, Manhattan GuardianMorrison is once again opening the treasure chest of the publisher's history and is able to add his own spin on those characters. Escaping the battle against the Sheeda from Castle Revolving, Shining Knight suddenly falls to earth in modern Los Angeles, becoming a fish out of water. Although Morrison can put too much attention towards the ancient fantasy with characters speaking in an unknown language whilst artist Simone Bianchi's muted watercoloured illustrations can be obscure and at times grotesque, Justin is a compelling enough hero given his youthful ambitions, even he's out of his depth, including a reveal later in his arc that adds a new perspective towards the knight. So far, the most interesting member out of this group is the Manhattan Guardian, based on Joe Simon and Jack Kirby's The Guardian who resembles their earlier and more popular superhero Captain America. Hired to be a tabloid-sponsored superhero, the former policeman Jake Jordan has a very traditional Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 arc in how he balances his well-paid crimefighting position with his personal life and how one can leave disastrous results for the other. Cameron Stewart's art is simple yet exquisite in how he draws this world, which is a fantastical version of New York City, where subway pirates exist and a citywide network of volunteer reporters called the "Newsboy Army", which has a whole issue devoted to them and it's simply wonderful. When we delve into wizards and magicians, things start to falter with the arcs of Zatanna and Klarion. Although Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 has always been a great character as she not Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 cast spells by speaking backwards, but also has a strong friendship with Batman. It does feel familiar to what Neil Gaiman was doing Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 The Books of Magic and Morrison has done his Gaiman impression on several occasions, which doesn't always work. Another Jack Kirby creation has his own miniseries for Seven Soldierswhich is everyone's favourite witch boy. Born and raised as an inhabitant of an underground community known as Limbo Town, Klarion is quite the rebellious boy who breaks away from his religion and during one clash, he winds up in modern New York. As this is one half of the metaseries, we haven't seen the whole experiment come to fruition as we still haven't seen the three remaining members. Although not all of Grant Morrison's ideas will be understandable for everyone, which is common with the writer's works, but so far Seven Soldiers of Victory is succeeding in giving us a team of unlikely superheroes that don't really meet.

Here, he shows his upbringing by revisiting mostly forgotten characters from DC's past. The idea is to use seven mid-range characters in mostly new forms in a team book where there is no team. The characters won't meet, but they will have a common enemy. I feel like I can't give a full review until I've read the entire project. I need to see how it comes together before I can fully pass judgement. But so far, I'm enjoying myself. This particular So Grant Morrison was raised by back issue bins. This particular volume had the prologue issue, Shining Knight and Guardian's full four-issue miniseries, and most of Klarion and Zatanna's. Klarion's is by far my favorite so far, though the last issue of Shining Knight was great. Zatanna's feels kind of disconnected, like Morrison didn't really know what to do with her. Apr 21, Richard Guion rated it it was amazing. I lost interest in this series when it was first published. I was stunned when I picked it up last week and found that it is one of the best comics Grant Morrison has written. It is a very unusual series, involving 7 characters who form the "Seven Soldiers" but don't each other and never have a big team-up, although they do have an accidental meeting or two. The Sheeda are a race resembling the fae, invading Earth at different points in time. They conquer Camelot and then re-emerge in the 21st c I lost Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1 in this series when it was first Seven Soldiers of Victory: Volume 1. They conquer Camelot and then re-emerge in the 21st century to take over our era. Seven Soliders have to oppose them.
