The Old Guard (franchise)
The Old Guard is a sci-fi media franchise. It started as a series of comic books created by Greg Rucka and Leandro Fernández and published by Image Comics. It has released over 16 issues from three series. The series follows a group of immortal soldiers, known as The Old Guard, led by a woman named Andromache of Scythia (Andy) who has been alive for several thousand years.
A film adaptation from Netflix and Skydance Media was made in 2020, with a sequel released on July 2nd, 2025.
The series follows a group of soldiers who have been given the gift of immortality. Led by Andromache of Scythia (whom her comrades call Andy) they ply their trade for those who can find and afford their services. But in the 21st century, immortality is a hard secret to keep, and they learn that there are many fates worse than death.
The Old Guard was named after the 3rd U.S. Infantry Regiment, which was formed in 1784. Rucka wanted the story to be an adventure about invincible characters, but he decided to make them immortal, comparing them to Looney Tunes cartoon characters who are not sidelined by injuries. Rucka said that halfway through the process of creating The Old Guard, he realized it was an attempt to rationalize the necessity of death after his father's recent passing.
The Old Guard is the first chapter of the series, with five issues released from February 22, 2017, to June 21, 2017. The full version was released on August 30, 2017. It was written by Greg Rucka and illustrated by Leandro Fernández. A Woman's History Month cover was made by Nicola Scott who was later an artist on part of the third series.
The Old Guard: Force Multiplied is the second chapter of the series and was released with five issues on December 18, 2019 to July 15, 2020. The full version was released on September 16, 2020.
The Old Guard: Tales Through Time is the third chapter of the series and was released with six issues on April 21, 2021 to September 22, 2021. The full version was released on December 15, 2021. Unlike the last two chapters, this series was more of an anthology series made by various writers like Brian Michael Bendis, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Matt Fraction, Vita Ayala, Jason Aaron, David F. Walker, and artists like Valentine De Landro, Nicola Scott, Michael Avon Oeming, Rafael Albuquerque, Mike Henderson, Matthew Clark, and Kano.
The series has received generally positive reviews, with praise for the premise, artwork, and LGBTQ+ representation, but with some criticism for its pacing.
