VALIANT Reaps "WRATH OF THE ETERNAL WARRIOR" In ARCHER & ARMSTRONG #5
![]() |
No
one in the Valiant Universe is more dangerous or more experienced in the
art of war than Gilad Anni-Padda, the undying Eternal Warrior. After
thousands of years on the battlefield, he has become an unrelenting
force of nature, capable of dismantling entire armies with little effort
and less conscience. His brother Armstrong, on the other hand, likes to
read poetry and drink beer. Maybe that’s why they had such a bad
falling out? But now — after years apart — the Eternal Warrior has a
mysterious new mission: destroy young Obadiah Archer, Armstrong’s
best-est new buddy and teammate in the war against The Sect.
"Armstrong and Gilad just do not see eye-to-eye. They're brothers, but their similarities end at genetics," writer Fred Van Lente told USA Today.
"Gilad sees [immortality] as a duty to fight for right, Armstrong sees it as an opportunity to drink as much booze and spend as much time with as many beautiful ladies as he can — so this issue is mostly fists, minimal hugs. We'll see if they can work things out before the four-issue arc ends."
