One week, two immortal releases! Don’t forget to bring a towel because each of the brothers Anni-Padda are bringing a torrent of red rain down on the Valiant U!
First up, the Summer of Valiant 2.0 rolls into closing weeks as Greg Pak (!!!) and Trevor Hairsine (!!!) unleash Eternal Warrior #1 — the first issue of Valiant next ongoing series starring none other than history’s most hardened, most feared soldier, Gilad Anni-Padda. This one takes place before ol’ EW’s debut appearance in Archer & Armstrong last winter, so come on in…the warfare’s warm!
Then, over in Archer & Armstrong #13, Fred Van Lente and Pere Perez wrap up the latest outing for Gilad’s brother — the similarly immortal yet infinitely more boozy Armstrong — and his (no longer a) neophyte partner as they head into their final clash with General Redacted and his probe-happy army of alien greys from the year 10,000. (Got that?) “Far Faraway” wraps up here and if you haven’t had the good sense to pick up this book yet…shame on you!
ETERNAL WARRIOR #1 (ON SALE 9/11/13)
New York Times best-selling writer Greg Pak (Batman/Superman, Planet Hulk) and superstar artist Trevor Hairsine (X-O Manowar, X-Men: Deadly Genesis) launch a brand new campaign for Valiant’s immortal champion, the Eternal Warrior, in an all-new monthly series!
Across ten millennia and a thousand battlefields, Gilad Anni-Padda has traversed the darkest, most mysterious corners of history. But the horror and bloodshed of constant warfare has finally taken its toll on the man myth calls the Eternal Warrior…and he has abdicated his duties as the Fist and the Steel of Earth for a quiet life of seclusion. But when a blood vendetta from the distant past suddenly reappears in the modern day, he must decide if he will return to the ways of war…for the child who betrayed him thousands of years ago…
