In 2005, Grant Morrison and artist J. H. Williams III launched a retooled version of the Seven Soldiers, in what Morrison terms a "megaseries" of seven interrelated miniseries and two bookend titles. While some members of this new team are long-running DC Universe superheroes, none were members of the previous incarnation of the team. Together, they fight to save Earth and its environs from the Sheeda.

There were two horror related titles out of the seven. The first was Seven Soldiers: Frankenstein. . The Frankenstein monster here is represented as a lucid defender of what is right and good, similar to how the Terminator changed from bad to good in the second film of that popular series.

The other title was Seven Soldiers: Klarion the Witch Boy. Morrison revamped Klarion, originally created by Jack Kirby as a foe for The Demon, into a clever and abrasive witch-in-training, a future protector of his lost city of Croatoan.
