Synopsis: The Eternal Warrior has protected the Earth for more than
10,000 years. A master of countless weapons and long forgotten martial arts, he
is guided by the Geomancers — those who speak for the Earth. During his long
watch, the Eternal Warrior has failed three times. Each time, the Geomancer was
killed...and a new dark age for humanity began. Each time, he was unable to
stop The Immortal Enemy - a monstrous force of nature. A civilization killer. A
horror that appears differently each time it arrives...and whose seemingly only
purpose is to bring disorder and darkness to the world. Now, the time has come
for The Immortal Enemy to return once more. But, this time, the Eternal Warrior
will be ready. This time, he has a force greater than any single warrior. This
time, he has...THE VALIANT. (from the online description)Review: When an Eternal Enemy rises once again, Gilad Anni-Padda must call on all the heroes of the Valiant Universe to help protect the Geomancer and save the World.
The stories of many of these heroes intersect here, with
several experiencing pivotal points in their lives. The action and plot are
face-paced and edge-of-your-seat. It is a bit gory, so be aware for younger
readers. The art is bold, dynamic, with extensive use of red and black. There
wasn’t time to get into all the characters, so it mostly focused on Bloodshot,
Gilad, and the Geomancer. I would argue this story is pivotal for all three of
those characters.
An absolute must-read for any fan of the Valiant Universe.
NOTE: I read this backwards – meaning, I read Bloodshot:Reborn first, then this one.
Don’t. You need to read this BEFORE the Bloodshot:Reborn
series. Also, you need to read Archer&Armstrong,
at least the first 3 volumes, as well.
