The brilliant mind of writer Grant Morrison is showcased in the concluding volume of his most groundbreaking and ambitious project yet. This volume features the exploits of three of the seven soldiers: Mister Miracle, Bulleteer and Frankenstein. Independently, each of these characters is featured in a story arc of their own, but their stories also interweave with the other soldiers' tales, and tell a grander story of a devastating global threat to mankind. Together these reluctant champions must somehow work together to save the world...without ever meeting one another!

Editorial Reviews
From Booklist
DC's current yearlong "crossover" event, 52, which corrals diverse superheroes in one serialized story, is enjoying heavy sales, but last year's crossover epic, Seven Soldiers, is much worthier of fans' attention. Revamping second-string heroes from DC's long history, Seven Soldiers enjoys two advantages: scripter Morrison, who brings challenging complexity to the time-spanning tale, and first-rate artwork by a talented lineup of illustrators. This final collection of the series focuses on three of the heroes--Mister Miracle, Bulleteer, and Frankenstein--before Morrison weaves the multiple narrative threads into a final confrontation with the Sheeda, demons that have pillaged Earth for centuries.

Interesting but feels incomplete,

This review is from: Seven Soldiers of Victory, Vol. 4 (Paperback)
The four volumes of 7 Soldiers are a complete story and it really can't be reviewed until the last one was published.
Morrison had a few goals with this series, first was to create new, interesting characters readers will want to see again. He certainly succeeded at that. I'd be happy to revisit any of the characters. Well maybe not Shining Knight, but almost any of them. The second was to create an overarching story that would only be clear when you read the entire body of work. In this he sort of succeeds. There is a story there but because it is told in bits and peices. Some parts feel redundant, we read them several times over. Other parts feel incomplete as readers scratch their heads and wonder what just happened and why. Finally he wanted to tell some good superhero stories and that is hit or miss. Some are great, others fall flat. In all it is a good work and worth buying but readers should not expect a new Watchmen or another Invincible.

Great, if a little hard to understand,

This review is from: Seven Soldiers of Victory, Vol. 4 (Paperback)
A great finish to one of comics' most amazing miniseries events. Morrison wraps everything up and although figuring it out took more than one reading, the series as a whole is a winner.

Graphic SF Reader,
By Blue Tyson "- Research Finished" (Legion clubhouse) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Seven Soldiers of Victory, Vol. 4 (Paperback)
The Sheeda don't think of Lucky 7, at all. In fact, they take it pretty seriously to go around exterminating groups of 7, because of prophecy that one day such a bunch will do very bad things to them and their ambitions.
Our intrepid bunch of solo but linked seven end up being the ones to stop 'em for now.
