The ISB’s 30 Second Recap - SEVEN SOLDIERS!

by Jeff

Because I’m a sucker for crayon stick figure drawings, I’m entering the Invincible Super Blog’s earth-shattering SECOND CONTEST.

In just six panels, here’s my rendition of Grant Morrison’s Seven Soldiers. BE AMAZED!!!

There was also some business with subway pirates, which was totally harsh.

...

The kid on the left just had an aneurysm.

The bravest question you can ask in a comic shop.

Between panels, someone punches this guy in the face. Hard.

Yeah, I started at the end and ended in the middle. It all makes perfect sense when you consider the ancient mythology of blahblahblah that Campbell discusses at length in a book that's been out of print since 1937.

Okay, as an unabashed Morrison fan, and someone who read waaay too much Seven Soldiers . . . this is hilarious. The perfect emperor ain’t got no clothes. I mean, was it supposed to be “super-deep”? Or just rollicking good, shoot’em up fun? (Like Frankenstein, which I did like).

Hilarious take.

Glad you liked it.

I’m a huge Morrison fan 75% of the time, but the stuff that I don’t like just seems inaccessible for the sake of being inaccessible.

Frankenstein was definitely my favorite of the 7 minis, but there wasn’t one I disliked, to be honest. The whole left me flat because I think I expected more, and also because SS #1 did a lot of things, but ‘making sense’ did not appear to be one of them.

I was vaguely digging the Bulleteer stuff.

The Frankenstein minis just felt pedestrian. Maybe reading Hellboy ruined me as a potential Frankenstein convert.
