SEVEN SOLDIERS #0
Written by Grant Morrison
Art and cover by J.H. Williams
A devastating global threat is on its way - one never imagined nor prepared for. It consumes entire
civilizations and leaves behind only ruins. It razed Camelot and bombed the Rama kingdoms back to dirt.
It strip-mines and enslaves whole cultures. Its hunger is unstoppable; its origins, unspeakable. Now this
devouring empire of cruelty-without-limits has set its sights on the treasures of the 21st century.
Like a plague of locusts, the terrifying Sheeda are returning to harvest the Earth. All that stands between
our world and these destroyers are the mysterious "Seven Soldiers" of legend. Seven men and women
with extraordinary abilities and big problems must lay their lives on the line for the future of humankind.
Seven reluctant champions must arise and somehow work together to save the world...without ever
meeting one another. How? Where? Who? There's only one way to find out.
In an ambitious new storytelling venture, writer Grant Morrison and a group of top artists combine their
talents to redefine the super-hero concept for a new century. Entertainers, losers, victims, exiles,
wannabes...the stars of SEVEN SOLDIERS are a long way from anyone's ideal of a traditional costumed
hero. But they just may be our only chance of survival.
Who lives? Who dies? Who washes the dishes? Who betrays humankind to its once and future Enemy?
Get the answers to these questions and many more in seven hard-hitting, fresh and wildly imaginative
miniseries featuring KLARION, MISTER MIRACLE, FRANKENSTEIN, ZATANNA, THE GUARDIAN,
BULLETEER and SHINING KNIGHT.
The SEVEN SOLDIERS saga comprises seven 4-issue miniseries and two bookend Specials - all which
may be read independently but combine to tell a colossal 30-part tale of death, betrayal, failure, joy, loss,
romance, triumph and redemption. As a new generation of super-heroes grapples with a harsher, weirder
world, Morrison combines dazzling super-hero action and serial fiction with horror, mystery, epic fantasy
and gothic pulp to carve out a new corner in the DCU.
With a gigantic, interweaving cast of characters-many drawn from DC's incomparable history and
reimagined by Morrison and his collaborators-Including vampire knights, crippled ex-super-heroes,
subway pirates, puritan death machines, liquid nitrogen-blooded assassins, deathless Mafia dons,
wounded gods, angry fiancées and talking winged horses, the universe of the Seven Soldiers is rich in
wonder, drama and hardcore action.
This groundbreaking mega-series begins with a 38-page complete adventure, SEVEN SOLDIERS #0,
that introduces readers to their twilight world and establishes plotlines that will reverberate throughout the
entire megaseries.
In issue #0, illustrated by master storyteller J.H. Williams III (PROMETHEA), Shelly Gaynor is the grand-
daughter of Golden Age hero the WHIP. She's revived the old family business and is turning her
experiences as an urban crime-fighter into a best-selling book.
But when Shelly answers an ad to join the aging crimebuster Vigilante and his new team of "Seven
Soldiers" in the hunt for an ancient monster haunting the deserts of the southwest, her super-hero dream
becomes a terror-trip into the heart of an undying nightmare.
SEVEN SOLDIERS: A mystery spanning generations and millennia. A story unlike any other. Welcome to
a whole new world in the DC Universe.
