Robert Kirkman's GUARDIANS OF THE GLOBE Gets Name Change

Image Comics sent out word late yesterday that Robert Kirkman, Benito Cereno, and Ransom Getty’s Invincible spin-off miniseries, Guardians of the Globe, has been rechristened. When the first issue is released this August, it will bear the name Guarding the Globe. No reason was given for the switch.

Here’s a description of the book’s plot taken from Image’s press release.

In GUARDING THE GLOBE, heroes both familiar and new struggle to protect Earth in Invincible's absence. As the Viltrumite War rages on within the pages of INVINCIBLE, the ranks of the Guardians of the Globe are suddenly depleted. The world is in danger, and the team is in search of new blood. It's the biggest recruitment drive since Omni-Man slaughtered the original members. But will it be in time to stop The Order? This series is a can't-miss action extravaganza, with one-page backups by Chris Giarrusso (G-MAN, Mini-Marvels) featuring the Guardians of the Globe that never were: Invincible, Spawn, Rick Grimes, Barack Obama, and Gary Popper! 

It’s a bit surprising they’d elect to change the book’s title after their massive, Marvel parodying promotional campaign using the original one. Nevertheless, the highly anticipated title should have no trouble finding an audience.
