The story follows a diverse cast including Frankenstein, Zatanna, the Bulleteer, and others as they battle the Sheeda, a parasitic race threatening reality itself. Morrison weaves a complex narrative that spans time and dimensions, culminating in a shared climax across all seven series.
"Part Zero: Weird Adventures" kicks off Grant Morrison’s Seven Soldiers Omnibus with a bold, surreal plunge into a subterranean world where conformity is enforced by fire and fear. As the rebellious Klarion and his feline familiar Teekl are drawn into the Submissionary Order’s ranks, the story unfolds in Frazer Irving’s striking, otherworldly art—each page a vivid blend of dread and dark whimsy. The cover, a collaborative masterpiece by J. H. Williams III and Ryan Sook, captures the tale’s eerie, mythic tone.
In "Part Two: Homeless Superior," the Guardian teams up with the eccentric subway pirates No-Beard and All-Beard in a high-stakes chase through the hidden Masonic tunnels beneath New York City. With the Sheeda closing in and a legendary radioactive gem—the Foundation Stone of Manhattan—on the line, the trio must outwit both rivals and the city’s own labyrinthine secrets.
In "Part Two: A Book in the Beginning," Zatanna, now accompanied by her unexpected ally Misty, seeks refuge in the mysterious magic shop of Cassandra Craft, where ancient spells and hidden dangers lurk. With time running short, Zatanna devises a cunning trap to confront the elusive and ever-present threat known as The Shapeless One.
In "Part Three: The Perfect Knight Returns," Justin rides his winged horse Vanguard in a desperate clash against a relentless monster sworn to destroy him, while the Sheeda ransack the ruins of Avalon, their conquests poised for shipment to the Gothic Imperium. Grant Morrison crafts a high-stakes, mythic showdown where legacy and destiny collide in the shadow of fallen kingdoms.
In "Part Three: Siege at Century Hollow," a secret artificial town becomes a battleground when a terrorist group takes control, trapping its inhabitants. With no one else capable, The Guardian must step in to confront the crisis before it spirals beyond control.
In "Part Three: The Deviant Ones" from the Seven Soldiers Omnibus, Klarion stumbles out of the shadows of Limbo Town and into the neon-lit chaos of New York City, torn between fleeing his past or embracing a darker path. As the streets pulse with unseen forces, he must decide whether to resist the pull of the enigmatic Mister Melmoth and the dangerous fellowship known as the Deviant Ones.
In "Part Four: The Last Stand of Don Vincenzo," Galahad—the once-Perfect Knight—rises again, twisted under Gloriana’s dark influence as the Sheeda invade. Now, Justin must confront his fallen comrade, drawing on hard-won wisdom from the modern world to face a battle that tests not just his strength, but his very ideals.
In "Part Three: Three Days of the Dead" from the Seven Soldiers Omnibus, Zatanna and Misty join forces with the enigmatic Ali Ka-Zoom, racing to unite with Don Vincenzo as the Sheeda Hordes emerge from the shadows—setting the stage for a desperate stand before the Earth's fate is sealed.
Part Four: Sex Secrets of the Newsboy Army! dives into the enigmatic past of the Newsboy Army, tracing their origins back to a childhood vow made outside the United Nations building. As their hidden history unfolds, a fractured Guardian faces a pivotal choice—one that could reshape their path, if they’re not already too far gone.
In "Part Four: Burn, Witchboy! Burn!", Klarion finds himself trapped in Limbo Town, the underground realm he once called home, only to be met with betrayal instead of welcome. Accused and condemned by the very people he came to warn, he faces a fiery fate he never expected.
In "Part One: New Godz" from the Seven Soldiers Omnibus, Shiloh Norman—now the dazzling escape artist Mr. Miracle—unlocks a cosmic purpose after a mind-bending meeting with Metron and a mysterious alliance with the alien Mother Box. With Earth on the brink of a devastating interstellar conflict, he must rise to a challenge far beyond the stage.
In "Part Four: Zor!", Zatanna races against time to reclaim her magic while teaming up with Misty to track down the elusive 7 Unknown Men of Slaughter Swamp—just as a cosmic-level threat looms, ready to challenge her in a duel that could decide the fate of reality.
In "Part One: Ballistic: How the Bulleteer Began," Professor Lance Harrower grapples with the aftermath of a devastating accident that transforms his wife, Alix, into a living fortress of hardened metal—unwillingly forged into a superhuman. As she struggles to reclaim her identity, the world sees only a weapon, and Lance must decide how far he’ll go to protect her.
In "Part One: Uglyhead" from Grant Morrison’s Seven Soldiers Omnibus, a surreal butterfly shop blooms in the city, triggering a strange metamorphosis in the teens who enter—turning the popular into self-loathing outsiders. As a boy with the uncanny ability to see thoughts becomes entangled in an ancient curse, something buried beneath the streets begins to stir.
In "Part Two: Who Killed Seven Soldiers?", the Bulleteer teams up with a dying FBI agent to unravel the disappearance of six missing superheroes, tracing clues that stretch back decades—while confronting her first true super-villain. As the mystery deepens, the Vigilante returns from the grave, adding a chilling new layer to the case.
In "Part Two: Red Zombies," Frankenstein ventures to Mars, drawn by a trail of death and despair leading to the ancient Tombs of B'aal B'zaar and the solar system’s greatest gold reserve. Grant Morrison and the interior artist craft a stark, surreal journey through alien ruins and buried secrets, where every step deeper into the red planet feels like a descent into myth.
In "Part Three: Radio Bedlam," Baron Bedlam hijacks the spotlight with a dangerously theatrical performance, challenging Mister Miracle’s legacy.
