Classic British superheroes return as The Vigilant launches the Rebellion-verse

April 18, 2018 by Gary Collinson

Rebellion has announced that it is launching the ‘Rebellion-verse’, a new interconnected world of British superheroes, beginning with The Vigilant, a special one-shot title which resurrects classic heroes from the Fleetway/IPC comics of the 1970s such as the likes of Adam Eterno, Blake Edmonds, Thunderbolt the Avenger, and The Leopard from Lime Street!

When the evil forces of Von Hoffman and Dr Mesmer team up and pluck the immortal Adam Eterno from the winds of time, all of reality is under threat! Only The Vigilant – a mighty team composed of super-beings, warlocks, warriors and monsters – stand between civilisation and total chaos! Join The Leopard from Lime Street, Steel Commando, Dr. Sin, Pete’s Pocket Army, Blake Edmonds, Y’o and Thunderbolt the Avenger on their premiere adventure!

The Vigilant is set for release in the UK on August 15th, with Simon Furman (The Transformers) writing and art from Simon Coleby (Judge Dredd).

Originally published April 18, 2018. Updated April 17, 2018.
