Synopsis: Not even time itself can escape the Eternal Warrior! No one
in the Valiant Universe is more terrifying, more dangerous, or more experienced
in the art of war than the undying Eternal Warrior. After thousands of years on
the battlefield, he's a master of strategy and weaponry, 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 new mission: destroy young Obadiah
Archer, Armstrong's best-est new buddy and teammate in the war against The
Sect. And, like it or not, Valiant's history-smashing adventure duo is about to
feel the wrath of the Eternal Warrior's fist and steel. (from the online version)Review: The crazy opposite-attracts duo is back! In the last volume, Archer and Armstrong saved the world – but may have gotten themselves into even more hot-water when they accidentally kill a VIP – a VIP with an immortal solider for a guardian. With said warrior hunting them, bound by revenge, they have no choice but to search the globe for the one person who can stop the solider. But that person may not be who they think – and may not be ready to wield the power she will need to stop the world from ending. Again.
In this story, we get to see more of the relationship
between Archer and Armstrong. Armstrong, having lost what he cared for most,
lived a life of detachment, never forming relationships. In Archer, he seems to
have found some redemption for that, being like a father or older brother to
the young assassin. As for Archer, his sheltered life left him ill-prepared for
the world. He relies are Armstrong to help navigate. It’s a fantastic relationship.
As for the new characters, they both are wonderfully complex
and entertaining. I won’t explain them to prevent spoilers, but I enjoyed the
action and dialogue immensely. Witty, sarcastic, hilarious, lots of fights and
big reveals, saving-the-world-at-the-last-moment. Such a fun story!
Highly recommend. You won’t be sorry!
