It includes the opening bookend issues and the initial runs of the individual character arcs featuring the Shining Knight, the Guardian, Zatanna, and Klarion the Witch Boy, as they each face separate threats tied to a larger, hidden war against the Sheeda.
"Seven Soldiers of Victory, Part Zero: Weird Adventures" kicks off Grant Morrison’s ambitious, surreal saga with a strikingly original tone—set in a shadowy underground city where nonconformity is punished by fire. Klarion, the rebellious young sorcerer, and his enigmatic cat familiar Teekl find themselves caught in a web of authoritarian ritual, challenging the Submissionary Order with defiant magic and eerie mystery. Frazer Irving’s bold, textured art—pencils, inks, and colors all his own—brings this dark, dreamlike world to life, while Ryan Sook’s cover captures the story’s unsettling, otherworldly edge.
In "Guardian, Part Two: Homeless Superior," the Guardian races through the hidden Masonic subway tunnels beneath New York City, pursued by the eccentric duo No-Beard and All-Beard, all in search of the legendary Foundation Stone of Manhattan—while the Sheeda, ever-watchful, close in on the prize.
Zatanna, accompanied by her reluctant new ally Misty, seeks refuge in a hidden magic shop run by the enigmatic Cassandra Craft. With time running short, she prepares a cunning trap to confront the ever-shifting threat known as The Shapeless One.
In "Shining Knight, Part Three: The Perfect Knight Returns," Justin rides his winged steed Vanguard in a desperate battle against a relentless monster forged to hunt him down. As the Sheeda ransack the ruins of Avalon, their plundered treasures are readied for transport to the Gothic Imperium, setting the stage for a clash of ancient legacies and looming threats.
In "Guardian, Part Three: Siege at Century Hollow," The Guardian faces his greatest challenge yet when a terrorist group takes over Century Hollow, a hidden artificial town in the heartland. With no backup and time running out, he must navigate the town’s deceptive layout and the growing danger to rescue its trapped inhabitants.
Klarion the Witch Boy, newly escaped from the hidden depths of Limbo Town, steps into the neon-lit chaos of New York City, torn between fleeing his past and embracing a darker path. As the sinister Mister Melmoth and the Deviant Ones offer him a place in their ranks, Klarion must decide whether to run—or join.
In "Shining Knight, Part Four: The Last Stand of Don Vincenzo," Galahad—the once-perfect knight—rises again, twisted under Gloriana’s dark command, forcing Justin to confront his most formidable foe yet. Armed with modern wisdom and the weight of legacy, Justin must defend the world from a warrior who was once his brother in arms.
In "Guardian, Part Four: Sex Secrets of the Newsboy Army!", the enigmatic Guardian confronts a past shadowed by a childhood vow made outside the United Nations, while the legendary Newsboy Army's hidden history unfolds in unexpected ways. As old bonds and buried truths resurface, the weight of a broken man’s choices threatens to unravel everything.
