Eternal Warior relaunch is superb

[mrbrklyn]

Along with the rest of the Valiant relaunch, you really need to be impressed with the work that the Eternal Warrior team has put out in the last year. I just picked up and read the entire current run, and it is just wonderful. It is so much better than the junk I see being thrown up at readers. It has a wonderful storyline and the story pacing, and development is spot on. It is some of the best storytelling happening today.

I agree, I think. But Wrath of the Eternal Warrior ended in 2016.

I'm getting so old that I can barely tell one year from the next any longer. All I know is I walked into Bullet Proof Comics in Brooklyn and grabbed the latest back issues, or so I thought, from the racks. The story centers on what happens when Gilad dies, where he seems to have a family in heavenly paradise that he keeps returning to. Labyrinth. It is really a decent and creative spin.

Yea, that's Wrath of the Eternal Warrior. I agree, it's awesome. If you liked that, I'd recommend it's prequel of sorts, Book of Death, and the one-shot, Eternal Warrior: Awakening, by the same writer.

Unfortunately, Gilad hasn't had the most high-quality adventures in the Valiant U, but if you're interested I have a full list of good Gilad stories you might want to check out.

Archer & Armstrong Vol. 2- Wrath of the Eternal Warrior: Although Gilad comes off a little... unhinged in this story, it's really funny and a lot of fun.
Archer & Armstrong #0: This is essentially Anni-Padda Bros. #0. It's about the incident that triggered all of their respective immortality powers.
Eternal Warrior Vol. 2- Eternal Emperor: Although it's not connected whatsoever to the first volume, this is actually a significant step up in terms of quality. It takes place in 4001.
The Valiant: This is an awesome "self-contained" event. Gilad plays a major role and the antagonist is sort of Gilad's arch-nemesis in a way.
Unity Vol. 1- To Kill a King: Also, you might include the prelude that takes place in X-O (15-18), seeing as Gilad shows up in there too. This story is just fantastic and shows how well the Valiant U interacts with itself if it wants to.
Unity #16- "A day in the life of Gilad."
Book of Death: Event that leads directly into 'Wrath.' Must-read for Gilad fans.

Other unexceptional stories that Gilad has shown up in:
The Immortal Bros- Tale of the Green Knight (one-shot)
Eternal Warrior Vol. 1- Sword of the Wild
Eternal Warrior: Days of Steel
Unity. The whole thing. Gilad's pretty awesome in the Armor Hunters tie-in.
Ivar, Timewalker Vol. 2- Breaking History
Ninjak Vol. 5- Fist & Steel
4001 A.D. (event)

The story itself was OK, even good. But the entire over explanation and later carry over in A&A was just too much.

That the brothers are magical beings with eternal life was just good enough.
