Seven Soldiers of Victory #1
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeThis collection kicks off Grant Morrison's ambitious 2005-2006 maxi-series, weaving together four distinct four-issue miniseries that each focus on a different member of the titular team—including the Shining Knight, the Manhattan Guardian, the Zatanna, and Klarion the Witch Boy—as they separately confront a cosmic threat. The volume also includes the framing sequences from the Seven Soldiers of Victory #0 and #1, establishing the interconnected narrative that reimagines classic DC characters in a modern, experimental format.
"Seven Soldiers of Victory, Part Zero: Weird Adventures" kicks off Grant Morrison’s ambitious, surreal vision with a strikingly original tale set in a subterranean city ruled by rigid conformity. As Klarion and his feline familiar Teekl are drawn into the Submissionary Order, the young sorcerer’s defiance ignites a quiet but potent rebellion beneath the surface. Frazer Irving’s haunting, layered artwork—pencils, inks, and colors all his own—brings this eerie world to life, while Ryan Sook’s cover captures the story’s unsettling, otherworldly tone.
In a hidden city where dissent is punished by fire, Klarion the Witch Boy and his feline companion Teekl stand at the edge of a rigid order they were born to serve. As the Submissionary Order prepares to claim them, Klarion’s defiance ignites a spark that could unravel everything—before he’s even had a chance to choose his path.
In "Guardian, Part Two: Homeless Superior," the Guardian dodges danger and deception as he pursues the Foundation Stone of Manhattan through the hidden Masonic tunnels beneath New York City, racing against the eccentric duo No-Beard and All-Beard—and the ever-watchful Sheeda, who have their own designs on the gem’s power.
Zatanna, accompanied by her unexpected companion Misty, seeks refuge in the mysterious magic shop of Cassandra Craft, where ancient spells and hidden dangers lie just beneath the surface. With time running short, she prepares a trap to confront the elusive and formless threat known as The Shapeless One.
In "Shining Knight, Part Three: The Perfect Knight Returns," Justin rides his winged steed Vanguard into a fierce battle against a relentless monster sworn to destroy him, while the Sheeda ransack the ruins of Avalon, gathering treasures bound for the Gothic Imperium.
Klarion the Witch Boy, newly escaped from the shadowed depths of Limbo Town, steps into the neon glare of New York City with a mischievous grin and a storm of magic in his wake. Now faced with a choice—stay hidden or answer the siren call of the sinister Mister Melmoth and his cult of the Deviant Ones—Klarion must decide what kind of chaos he wants to unleash.
In "Shining Knight, Part Four: The Last Stand of Don Vincenzo," Galahad—the once-Perfect Knight—rises again, twisted by Gloriana’s dark influence, forcing Justin to confront the ultimate betrayal. Armed with hard-won wisdom from the modern world, he must stand against a foe who was once his closest ally, in a battle that tests not just skill, but the very soul of chivalry.
In "Guardian, Part Four: Sex Secrets of the Newsboy Army!", the past comes roaring back as the Newsboy Army’s childhood vow—made outside the United Nations building—unfolds in surprising, intimate detail. Meanwhile, the wounded Guardian faces a choice that could define his legacy, testing the line between duty and desire.
