VIMANARAMA! #1
Written by Grant Morrison
Art and cover by Philip Bond
Imagine a modern-day Arabian Nights in the form of an Indian romantic
comedy and set on a celestial stage. East meets West with a burst of
color, song and cosmic violence in Grant Morrison's latest: VIMANARAMA!
From the pulse-pounding superheroics of JLA: CLASSIFIED to the
heartbreaking intensity of WE3, Grant Morrison is committed to outdoing
himself. Now, he reunites with the inimitable Philip Bond (VERTIGO POP:
LONDON, THE INVISIBLES) in a 3-issue miniseries that's a romantic action
story with an operatic twist.
The son of a successful grocery chain owner, 19-year-old British-Asian
Ali can't relate to his family's traditional customs. He feels much
better when he finds that Sofia, the girl he's arranged to be married
to, is gorgeous and vivacious...until he accidentally unleashes a
subterranean army of fossil demons, restarts an ancient god war, and
brings the whole world to the brink of destruction. Now, the only person
who can save the day is a 15,000-year-old Indian super-man who's fallen
in love with Sofia! A dazzling, transcendental journey into another
reality, VIMANARAMA! is Morrison's and Bond's wildest yet, mixing
widescreen action, soap-opera realism and Eastern religion with an
end-of-the-world love story you won't forget.

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.
