The New Guardians - Vol 1 - #4 - 1988 - Open Secrets - (VFN)

A high-energy, late-80s superhero ensemble piece that pushes DC's newly minted global champions into a dangerous web of international covert operations. Written by veteran scribe Cary Bates and illustrated by the seasoned creative team of Joe Staton and Mark Farmer, The New Guardians #4 continues the team's ongoing struggle to find their footing as humanity's chosen next step in evolution. "Open Secrets" balances fast-paced combat with heavy team drama as personal revelations threaten to pull the group apart from the inside.

Chosen by the Guardians of the Universe and the Zamarons during the events of Millennium, the New Guardians—a diverse group of individuals gifted with extraordinary abilities representing the future of the human race—are still trying to forge a cohesive team identity while operating out of their base in Los Angeles.
