The Fellowship was fortunate enough to obtain a copy of ETERNAL
WARRIOR #8 from Valiant Entertainment. The story and lettering is by Greg Pak,
with art by Robert Gill, colors by Guy Major and John Rauch, and lettering by Dave
Sharpe.
Gilad has a plan that will take care of the cult of his
ancient enemy Nergal and obtain the medicine that will eliminate the radiation
that affects his village and the groups of humans. What no one else knows is
our Eternal Emperor has plans within plans which the others will not approve. Will
he succeed, or is this the end of mankind on Earth? Also, is there something
about Gilad’s granddaughter that scares him (given everything he has
seen in his lifetime)?
Frankly, I was surprised how quickly they moved the
timeline from the present to the year 4001 (possibly to set up the new series RAI). However, it's not a major thing, especially since you can read present day Gilad in UNITY. I was introduced to Greg Pak’s writing with WORLD WAR HULK, and
rarely am I disappointed in his work. He handles the “war weary warrior” so well. I cannot
say enough how well Valiant has been running since they returned a couple of
year ago. Top notch work all around.
ETERNAL WARRIOR #8 is in stores now, or available for
ordering at www.valiantuniverse.com.
