Plot summary

''Under Siege''

With Invincible out in space fighting in The Viltrumite War, ageing superhero Brit must recruit a new international roster of the Guardians of the Globe to protect Earth in his absence, the new team coming together just in time to battle "The Order", a new group of supervillains.

''Hard to Kill''

As the new Guardians of the Globe return to active duty on different missions all around the world, Brit faces family issues at home, while a singular Mauler returns (one clone having survived prior to the two killed by Oliver Grayson), seeking to spread his genetics across the world.
