31 Days of Seven Soldiers, Day 16 - The Manhattan Guardian #4

Man, this is a cool issue.  And it explains quite a bit, not only about this series, but about the saga as a whole.  So if you think there won’t be SPOILERS, you are sadly mistaken.  Because there will be!  SPOILERS, that is.  Don’t coming crying to me if you ignore the warning!

Hey - the first of the mini-series to finish!  I’m sure there won’t be any surprises in this one, right?  Well, if there are, I’m here to SPOIL them for you!  So watch out, because there are lots of SPOILERS below!  That’s if, you know, there’s anything surprising in this issue.

Apparently, I was remiss by not picking up the latest issue of Robin, drawn by Frazer Irving and starring our favorite little witch-boy himself!  I doubt if it will disappear too quickly from the shelves, but if you’re interested, go find it today!
We learn a LOT about the saga in this issue, so I will […]

Ah, the weird “no butt” cover.  What’s up with that?  This is issue brings our heroes together even more, and our old friend Neh-buh-loh shows up.  Who doesn’t love our favorite grown-up universe????
Oops.  Was that a SPOILER?  Well, even if it wasn’t, there are plenty of SPOILERS ahead!  I mean, can you believe what happens […]

So here I am, trying to keep up with this ridiculous schedule I have set for myself, and Earthlink, Qwest, and Dell all suck.  Apparently something happened to the DSL lines yesterday, and now my wireless router is screwed up, and I didn’t have the Internets for a good 20 hours or so.  What the crap?  I was almost […]

As we move into the endgame of the first batch of mini-series, we live in hope for resolutions.  Will we get them?  Ha!  It’s Grant Morrison, people!
This issue, like all before them, contains massive SPOILERS!  I mean, remember who shows up on the last page?????  SPOILERS aplenty, people!

So I’m about a third of the way through this thing.  Have I lost my mind yet?  Some people would say I lost it years ago!  But I feel sane, and isn’t that what’s important????
Hey, what do you know?  SPOILERS lurk within.  SPOILERS, say I!

The kookiness kontinues!  Zatanna has problems, bad guys are everywhere, and a cat speaks in hieroglyphics!  And, of course, I will SPOIL everything I can, past, present, and future!  Read on - if you dare!

You know what?  This project might be even more insane than I thought.  But am I daunted?  No I am not!
There are some interesting things popping up in this issue of The Manhattan Guardian, so needless to say (but I still must say it!), here be SPOILERS!  You know they’re out there, lurking!

Come on, we’re moving on the second issues of the first round of mini-series!  Keep up!
It’s time for the disclaimer: SPOILERS abound in these posts!  And as we get more into the stories and meet more characters, I will make more and more connections with the future issues.  Please believe me!  I loves me some […]

Here’s my contribution to Fred van Lente Day: Buy Action Philosophers!  Seriously, it’s a great comic book.  And then maybe Fred and Ryan Dunlavey will make enough money so Fred can pay Ryan the ten bucks he owes him.
Okay, moving on to what might be the most important mini-series.  Why?  Well, when I SPOIL it for you, you’ll see […]

Oh, Zatanna - that little vixen!  Yes, it’s time for the first issue of the next mini-series, as Morrison sticks his tongue out at Alan Moore and says, “Anything you can do I can do better!”  Let’s gear up for the weirdness!
Oh, by the way: SPOILERS!!!!!  One of our fine commenters pointed out that I’m […]

Moving on with the reviews, we end up at the first issue of The Manhattan Guardian.  Why not Shining Knight #2, you might ask?  Well, I figure I should read these in the order in which they were published, and, apparently, it’s the official way to read them, according to The God of All Comics.  […]

If you’re going to start your mini-series off with a bang, you might as well start with Lancelot rallying the troops of the Round Table!  Such is the opening splash page of Shining Knight #1, which gets the seven mini-series of Seven Soldiers off with a rousing start.  So let’s dive in!  As usual, SPOILERS […]

31 Days of Seven Soldiers, Day 2 - Seven Soldiers of Victory #0

  • by Greg Burgas
  • Saturday, December 2nd, 2006 at 8:17 PM EST

There is a big problem with Seven Soldiers of Victory #0: it’s too good.  It is, in fact, probably the best single issue of the entire Seven Soldiers epic.  And that’s not good when it is, in fact, the first issue of the entire Seven Soldiers epic.  How does that work?  Shouldn’t The God of […]
