Here we ago again. An anthology with stories, sometimes just five pages long, where some continue across issues and others don’t. I don’t know what annoys me more, the fact that it’s so hard to write about these because I have to do multiple posts on the same issue to cover each of the stories or…The fact that none of it is very good.

It’s the not good part. That’s what bothers me most.

I’m starting with “Vanguard” because that’s the story that runs across all twelve issues of this series. But it’s not about Vanguard the character from Alpha Flight. He appears in a different story in this anthology series.

No, the “Vanguard” story is about a new black op team who try to kill a cop named Stacy Dolan, who was a childhood friend of Danny Ketch, because they think she’s a supervillain after she gets possessed by a villain who can possess people. But he gets killed by Blade so don’t bother getting to know him.

Dolan’s attempted assassin is Dominic Fortune. After he realizes she was possessed, they team up with the other Vanguard members, one of whom is “Colonel America.”

There’s also a woman called Retcon who can change peoples’ memories of the past. I wish she could erase this whole story.

I told you this was bad. Don’t read it.
