February 2006. The best of the interlocking miniseries making up Grant Morrison's 2005–2006 SEVEN SOLDIERS OF VICTORY event is SEVEN SOLDIERS: MISTER MIRACLE, one of the very, very few non-Kirby Mister Miracle iterations that's worth bothering with. Scott Free's former protégé Shilo Norman, introduced late in the Kirby MISTER MIRACLE series, is now a 23-year-old international superstar escape artist — and also the champion of the fallen New Gods, the possessor of the last Mother Box, and the only living creature immune to the Anti-Life Equation. Here, Metron and the Black Racer, incarnated in human bodies, play chess for Shilo's life, as Shilo is attacked by living cars, "the crazy horses of sunless Armagetto," in the "drive-by derby."
