Who is the Sword of the Wild?
After thousands of years on the battlefield, the Eternal Warrior has finally laid down his sword. But today he learns that when you turn your back on your destiny, your destiny may find another champion. And when that new champion is your own savage, immortal daughter, the balance of the world itself may be at stake.
In the event you missed out on issue #1, an informative intro makes this a totally adequate jumping on point. However, I still strongly recommend buying the first issue just so you can see how everything actually plays out for yourself. Plus, it's awesome, and you like awesome stuff, right? Read Full Review
This is a great series in the making here, trust me. The creators obviously know what they're doing. Every page and panel serves some purpose, and it's obvious that a lot of time was put in to the issue. Read Full Review
Still one of the most interesting and dynamic characters ever to emerge from the Valiant U, Gilad Anni-Padda's adventures in Eternal Warrior are a must read. Read Full Review
Pak and Hairsine are quickly becoming a power team for a title that is already capitalizing on its potential to be fantastic. Pick up Eternal Warrior! Read Full Review
Trevor Hairsine is joined by Clayton Crain this time around, but the division of art duties works. Typically, dividing a single issue between two such drastically different artists is a recipe for disaster. This issue avoids that pitfall by having each artist handle a different period in time. The flashbacks are Crain territory, and they look spectacular. The main story is all Hairsine, who is doing the best work of his career in this book. The colors, provided by Brian Reber, are as solid as ever. Eternal Warrior is complete package, a full course of awesomeness. Read Full Review
This issue is all about trying to restore that balance which puts the world at risk. Father and daughter now reunited because they were born to fight, they belong in the war zone, killing is almost all they know and it makes them feel alive. Though it comes with a twist Greg Pak has thrown that makes this a must book to all. The Eternal Warrior is going to take the fight to Earth herself. It's one thing to break all the rules, and challenge death itself, but Earth? You sure as hell want to pick up this book and follow what comes next to see how this story plays out. Read Full Review
Whether I should or not, I'm holding this title to a high bar because of the creative team and publisher, and for the most part, Eternal Warrior has reached it. So long as this one steers clear of well-worn tropes, I'll be sticking around to see it play through to the end. Read Full Review
The Warrior's daughter might be unhinged, but her father is crazy, and seeing how Pak resolves this is going to be fun. Read Full Review
The Eternal Warrior is well drawn, written, and paced. There is no reason why this finely crafted comic should not be on the radar of you and the people you care about. Check this out so it does not get canceled and I can keep reading it! Read Full Review
"Eternal Warrior" #2 is a book that feels a little out of sorts, but not to the point where it's a deal-killer. Overall, the new Valiant's been doing a good job, so I'm willing to give it a couple more installments to hopefully shake the Eternal Eeyore version of the character. Most likely the second storyline will have Gilad back to his old self, but for now, this doesn't feel that inviting. Read Full Review
A far better issue than number one. Gives Gilad a great hook and its taken me from slightly interested to fully engaged.
The only downside, there two art teams here. Ones amazing, the other- not so much.
