In the 1930s Winston Churchill famously remarked in the House of Commons during an exchange with the Prime Minister that he was confident history would find Baldwin wrong, “because I shall write that history“.

If you are a long time reader of Vanguard you may have noticed that the last few pages detailing their final battle don’t quite jibe with what you remember. (And if you’re not a long time reader, go back and read it! It’s really good.)

We live in interesting times. On one hand we live in a world where everyone has a cellphone camera, not to mention surveillance cameras, traffic cameras, and police body cameras. But simultaneously we live in a world of Photoshop, video editing, and CGI.

My wife and I were watching a television show the other day where, as a prank, they made a video in which they superimposed a famous person’s head on a different body (in fetish gear). Now, it wasn’t perfect, but they weren’t trying to be perfect. They were just goofing around. But it was really close. Close enough to make you nervous.

There’s a great movie from 1997 called, “Wag the Dog” where a film crew is hired to create a fake war to distract the public from a Presidential sex scandal. The film opened one month before the Monica Lewinski scandal broke.

FREE COMIC BOOK DAY APPROACHES!
COH FCBD

Yes, Free Comic Book Day is a mere 10 days away and the super awesome team at the Collective of Heroes has put together a bumper-sized free comic for the occasion. I’ll pimp out the links once it goes up online.

Also, Avengers:Age Of Ultron has finally arrived. I’ll be seeing it on Saturday. I have a few friends who have seen advance screenings and they have been saying it is awesome. I AM VERY EXCITE!. From the clips/trailers, I think a World War Hulk could well be on the cards… fingers crossed.

Are you seeing the film this weekend? What are you’re thoughts on it?

See you Friday!

Ophelia was never supposed to die here. She was originally supposed to be killed back when Thade and The Nine murdered the General Phelps household. As I worked out how the following story would flow, there would have been nobody to guide Pendragon to Downing Street and and tell him (and the reader) what was going on. Hence, she got a reprieve.

Heroes can and will die in Vanguard. How will the rest of the team react to her death? Read on…

Announcement –
That writing competition will launch later today!. Blog post coming up!

Can you spare a moment to upvote this page on Reddit? It’s a good way to reach potential readers – Thanks in advance!

Vanguard usually updates twice a week (Wednesday and Friday), but it’s only updating once a week for the next few weeks. I’m currently drawing pages over at Reynard City and only have a few to do before I’m done.

Hello Van-Fans!

Ophelia is back from dealing with Red-Eye and now set her sights on MaXtreme… will she be strong enough to take one on the most powerful Meta-Human in the world? Find out next week!

Announcement –
That writing competition is still in the works. It’s proving more difficult than I imagined to organize but… The details will be announced NEXT WEEK!

WAR! What is it good for!? – The economy? Keeping the population down? Heh.

Scratch another member of Section 9!
Vanguard’s resident bad ass, Ophelia, takes the fight to bad guys. On a side note, if you’ve never been on it, the London Eye is a great ride (?) and provides an excellent view of the capitol.

Upvotes over at Reddit would be very gratefully received!

Well, this page was a bit of a beast. Couldn’t get it done for the last update, so here it is.

Section Nine press the attack!

If we look at the map, REVOK is attacking from the top gate, located by St.James Park, while the sniper is firing down Downing Street from the London Eye. Who’s the sniper? Well, there’s only two other members of Section Nine left alive, so that narrows it down a tad… and once again, Ophelia goes off on here own, regardless of orders. Will it cost the team/her?

Come back Friday for the start of: Pendragon Vs. Thade!

Upvotes on Reddit are much appreciated. They help get the comic out to bigger audience. Thanks in advance!

Took a bit of a break from posting pages last week. Apologies for that. Real world crap going on. Anyway, back to business:

Daedalus? Who’s this? The architect of this plan that is bringing the world’s governments to their knees?

We know the ‘enemy’ is well versed in subterfuge and deception. Not all is as it seems.

Answers will be given (possibly) in the next few pages/issue.

The end of the issue seven near…

DENTAL TORTURE – It gets sh*t done.

Ah, I can finally uncover the name of the mercenary guys in the high-tech armor! The Hollow Men. There’s been a reference or two hidden in a couple of pages within the past few issues, like here, for instance.

The next page will be a dozy, so I’ll see you next week!
