Seven Soldiers of Victory, Volume 1 by Frazer Irving, Simone Bianchi, Mick Gray, Grant Morrison, J.H. Williams III, Ryan Sook, Cameron Stewart
2.0
In this series, comics great Grant Morrison takes on some of DC's C-List superheroes.
While some of narratives in the prologue (Seven Soldiers of Victory #0) and in Zatanna's story rather reminded me of Chuck Palahniuk (which is always good), I think this book pales in comparison to some of Mr. Morrison's other legendary tales.
While wowed by some early goings of the characters featured here, some really stunning artwork and the infusion of themes of magic (something very interesting to me and featured in almost all of Morrison's work), I wasn't really blown away by anything between the cover of this book.
Bottome line: This one's great to read if you're going on your own personal quest to read all of Grant Morrison's work but not one of his best or something I'd recommend starting with.
