This is an issue with great moments that tie in to each other to make an even better issue. It's a comic that gets you excited to read more of it. To see more of it. I don't know where Venditti and company will go after this story, but it can wait because I just want to finish this story arc. Probably more than I did with the first story arc. Read Full Review
I cannot praise WRATH OF THE ETERNAL WARRIOR highly enough. Every aspect of the story, from the writingto the art to the color work, is some of the best comic book work being made today. The tale of Gilad keeps getting better and better. At this point, there is no reason for anyone to not be reading WRATH OF THE ETERNAL WARRIOR. Read Full Review

"Labyrinth" may have just started but has quickly proven itself, boasting a focused narrative and confident visuals, as an enthralling new arc for one of Valiant's A-list players. Read Full Review
Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #8 is an intense continuation of the Labyrinth story line tying together elements from Gilad's resurrection process with an intriguing take on a cat and mouse game with Sovereign. The way Sovereign's no-nonsense approach to collecting data on Gilad's repeated deaths is portrayed is perfect in conveying his true goals and raises his stature as a sociopathic kidnapper.Kalam's attempt to give Gilad a message in the midst of this isn't explored other than as failed attempts coming off as either a distraction or a squandered opportunity. However, the conclusion is an exciting development that has me looking forward to next issue even more. Read Full Review

Not only does Venditti put Gilad through the physical wringer, killing him in darn near every way imaginable, but he also showcases the toil Gilad's frequent trips through the afterlife puts on both him and his family.

The combination of excellent art, great writing and the one thing I want out of the Eternal Warrior, action, made this a great issue. The little things that Venditti has put in this one have me excited for the future of this book, which has already lasted more issues then the previous Eternal Warrior comic. Good stuff this month.

Wrath of the Eternal Warrior # 8 is a fun little romp of a comic where we see brutality in the name for science while Gilad is learning about his enemy " and his limits. Venditti certainly plants seeds for multiple fateful confrontations " which makes finding out what is going on that much more urgent and intriguing. Readers who are skimish might not enjoy the violence here and our big bad just is " kind of there, but otherwise, the art was exquisite while the writing was very strong. The book definitely builds up the stakes for the story this issue. Read Full Review
On my beard scale, I would give this 3.5 out of 5 beards. The writing is good, but what took me out of a few panels were the way some faces lacked detail. The coloring was well done but doesn't stand out for a book that has a grimy tone to it. Read Full Review
