Last part of a great series - By: A. J. Kirke, 12 Mar 2008 
I'm a fan of the Invisibles, The Filth, Animal Man & Morrison's X-Men, but I'm always prepared to be disappointed by favourite authors. That made it alll the more satisfying to receive this graphic novel for Christmas & to read it with great enjoyment & "Morrison-type" satisfaction. Seven Soldiers is almost a new & "smoothed-out" Invisibles. Many who may have been put off by the almost Burroughs-type behaviour of the Invisibles plotting will not have such a problem with Seven Soldiers. I think it can be enjoyed both by the Invisibles-wierdo type reader (like me!) & the more traditional comic reader.
It just makes me so happy to pick up & read a comic like this.
A tense, tight but slightly rushed conclusion - By: a reader, 05 Apr 2007 
I was looking forward to this for months...........Morrison delivers on almost alll counts. Storyline is tight, fast moving & the tension mounts. The Bulleteer section callled "Bad Girls" is sheer genius. Taking an emotional view of the pressures of (not) growing up, dealing with calllous relationships, deceit from fetish-obsessed partners...alll built around a giant slugfest where anything from fists to car engines are used as weapons - just read it to make sense.
The "Frankenstein" piece is brimming with ideas & the basic idea of monster as "The Punisher" on Mars must be movie material - Mary Shelley must be turning in her grave (sic).
The Mister Miracle storyline brings a lot of hard emotional depth & is a difficult but worthy read - the final frame brings a lump to your throat.
But what of the Sheeda ? Well exactly. What lets this down at the end is a very, very rushed resolution where everyone turns up at the end, does their bit (some in very smalll ways after loads of build up) & there you go - leaving a slightly empty "was that it ?" feeling afterwards. However Morrison does leave us with his trademark weirdness in a bizarre coda, but it feels a bit thin.
Overalll the series is great - funny, original, tense & dare I say the word "street" - GM's influence written alll over it but in a very accessible style. Best enjoyed as a series of intertwined stories rather than a grand plan. Grant - sell the movie rights, but get Chris Nolan or Darren Aronofsky to direct.
