The issue starts off with a supposedly off-duty GP playing honored guest at a Nigerian independence day celebration. He has the Extremes, (his sidekick team of para-humans) taking care of minor business.
Fast forward to a confrontation an
inquisitional and cautionary meeting with Jade Waziri, the no nonsense NACSS director who’s recently been messing with powers beyond her, powers directly related to GP.
But she’s not the only noob who’s been messing with the unknown, so has the USA and that’s where things get interesting…….The Americans have figured out a way to tap and manipulate trans-dimensional energy for various uses, including and hopefully not limited to super soldiers. But hold your horses! This new found energy, is actually the essence of a spirit realm of Nigerian deities.
What’s more? This soldier, Jerome Shabaz Malik- a guinea pig really – is actually Nigerian, or he was until the US visa lottery (formerly Kunle Kamal, warlord and GP’s longtime adversary). No, he didn’t win it, he simply renounced Naija in search of a, better life, aka, getting paid to serve American interests, good or bad as UnionGuard. This came via the Lester Proposal, an aggressiveBrain and Brawn Drain recruitment policy.
But that’s not as important as the introduction of Nigerian deities who DO NOT TAKE SACRILEGE LIGHTLY, at all!Turns out the Americans have been trespassing on sacred ground, but so have the Nigerians. Difference is, the Nigerians pay proper respect and follow rules. Their American allies however, not in the least and that has the ire of the gods, Ivruwih especially, who teaches Union Guard a lesson on godly obeisance.
GP takes a back seat in all of the fighting because of international maritime border regulations. Superhero or not, there are laws and he’s not about to trespass on American soil, Union Guard will make sure of that.
But, he just might in the next issue, to save Union Guard’s neck. We’ll have to wait.
