Seven Soldiers is a comic book metaseries written by Grant Morrison and published by DC Comics. It was published as seven interrelated mini-series and two bookend issues. The series features a new version of the Seven Soldiers of Victory fighting to save Earth from the Sheeda.
Seven Soldiers started off as a different project which evolved over time. According to Morrison:
I started off in 2002 with the idea to do a JLA spin-off called JL8, which featured a bunch of C-list characters getting together as a DC analogue of the Avengers or Ultimates. Guardian was in from the start as my Captain America guy, Mister Miracle was Thor, the Demon was the Hulk, Zatanna was the Scarlet Witch and so on.... I worked on the material for the next two years to turn it into the Seven Soldiers concept as it finally emerged.
The metaseries is bookended by Seven Soldiers #0 and #1, with art by J. H. Williams III. The rest was made up of seven mini-series:Shining Knight with art by Simone Bianchi,Manhattan Guardian with art by Cameron Stewart,Zatanna with art by Ryan Sook,Klarion with art by Frazer Irving, Mister Miracle with art by Pascal Ferry, Bulleteer with art by Yanick Paquette, and Frankenstein with art by Doug Mahnke.
