NEW STORY ARC
Soon to be a major motion picture starring CHARLIZE THERON!
Andromache of Scythia and her band of soldiers are back in this second story chronicling the battles and burdens of their dubious immortality. Nile's addition to the team has given them new purpose and new direction, but when you've got 6,000 years of history at your back, the past is always ready to return-with a vengeance.
Written by GREG RUCKA and illustrated by the incomparable LEANDRO FERNÁNDEZ, with colors by DANIELA MIWA, lettering by JODI WYNNE, and design by ERIC TRAUTMANN, the highly anticipated return of THE OLD GUARD is fina more
The Old Guard: Force Multiplied has the crew back in an action-adventure with high stakes and a new enemy who knows too much about them, hot on their trail. The series is off to a great start and just as good as the original. Read Full Review
It's a welcome return and a reminder why this issue was so hotly anticipated by an existing readership, a readership likely to be even more excited for #2. Read Full Review
The theme has so much potential to tell a great story but I hope it is not ignored in favor of action scenes. I like a good action book but I want those scenes to help develop a narrative and develop a theme. This is a good book and has a lot of potential but it did lack a certain finesse. Read Full Review
An Action packed issue with that set the stage for the miniseries. Read Full Review
It was pretty cool, nothing special. The first arc was great and Rucka is, usually, awesome, so I'm down with this.
Make sure to read the first volume of the Old Guard if you haven't already because this issue does not take time to reestablish the setup for new readers. In all honesty, two thirds of this issue didn't feel necessary. I suppose elements of backstory contained in the first part are good to set context and tone, but this random heist in the middle of the issue did absolutely nothing for me because I have no investment as a reader, no reason to care.
