Vanguard #8: Under Siege: A Superhero Serial

by Percival Constantine

The team is hit where they live!

The world has changed. A mysterious event has altered humanity on the genetic level, granting a small percentage of the population incredible powers. To combat these rogue specials, the President secretly authorized the creation of a team of specials—Paragon, telekinetic powerhouse; Shift, shape-changing teenager; Sharkskin, shark/human hybrid; Wraith, teleporting shadow-warrior; Zenith, hyper-intelligent AI. Led by the armored Gunsmith, they are Vanguard!

After Vanguard was disbanded, the Atlas was shut down—at least that's what was believed. In reality, Zenith and Lee Parker have remained there, working tirelessly to not only repair Zenith's robotic body but also investigate the new Cerberus agency. Their work is brought to a standstill when a new enemy emerges within Atlas itself! Now, Zenith and Lee are the only ones who stand in the path of the Omega and his plans to destroy the specials!

Continue the adventures of this all-new team of superheroes in the vein of the X-Men and Avengers!
