For the past two months, Iāve been reading Comic Republicās Vanguards Union and Iād have dropped this review sooner, but I wanted it to pile up a little so Iād get a sense of where the story was headed to be able to give an objective enough review.
Following the events of issues 8 and 9 of Guardian Prime, some gods/goddesses, and rulers are on a revenge mission to destroy Lagos State the way GP destroyed two of their ācomradesā. Leading the charge is Mami Water.
4 issues in, and so far, Iām loving the way the story is progressing.
Every important character is getting his/her arc and with everything thatās happened, it still feels like the calm before the storm because they havenāt banded together as a team yet.
Itās like the characters have individual stories happening in the comic and these stories will lead them to each other to team up and take down foes that can wipe the state off the map. Also, I love how even though itās fiction, itās still grounded in the realities we readers know & live in.

The art is so, so good and the colouring is exquisitely done. There was a particular panel in issue 2 that caught my attention. The way the pink glow reflected on each character and object really hit me. It was well-detailed.
I also love the fact that the heavy hitters (Guardian Prime, Eru, Aje) have been more or less out of the real equation as this is giving other characters enough time to shine. And no spoilers, but my mouth was open for seconds after finding out who Ajeās best friend isā¦plus they donāt seem to know ātheir selvesā.
What Iām confused about, however, is how strong Mami Water is (if sheās the main villain of this arc,) because she seems like a foe the likes of Guardian Prime, Aje, and Eru wonāt have difficulty defeating and it feels like thatās why the heavy hitters havenāt really been in the story so far.
The story, again, is well thought out. Vanguards Union has given us more info about the heroes in the Comic Republicverse than their solo comic books have.
Iām hyped about Vanguards Union by the Comic Republic and itās definitely worth reading. The comics are available on Comic Republicās website and Mobile Application.
