What's it about?
How many British
superheroes can you name? For the average “man in the street” this is
quite difficult. An older generation may name Dan Dare. For the younger
generation they may strain and wonder if Lara Croft or James Bond count
(at times their acrobatics/gadgetry is borderline superhero).
Some might argue Dr Who might be a good example, given that he has both
supernatural abilities and his quirky nature makes him distinctly
British.
For comic fans there are of course people such as Captain Britain or Emma Frost of the X-Men
(though her status as superhero is debatable, seeing as she has veered
from hero, anti hero to outright villain.) The Vanguard looks set to
change this. Not only do we get one British superhero but a whole team’s
worth!
The Vanguard are the
stars of Vanguard, a comic written by top online comic artist Dan
Butcher, who has worked on a variety of projects and whose style has
helped to boost the appeal of numerous different titles.
