When you have the word "eternal" in your title, chances are that your relationship with death is a unique one. That doesn't make it easy, however, and that's something Robert Venditti and Raúl Allén look to explore with their latest debut, Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #1. More introspective brooder than extroverted slash epic, Valiant's latest look into the life and times of Gilad Anni-Padda has the potential to be its best one yet.
The opening to Wrath of the Eternal Warrior, as previewed widely across the pages of Valiant's other titles, is a surprisingly misleading affair. At the onset the debut appears well in line with the series' aggressive title, but it's not long before it becomes clear that this is a very different type of story. Rather than focus on Gilad's well documented prowess for bloodletting and strategy, writer Venditti instead opts to take a different perspective. For once, we see the sacrifice that comes with eternal life, not just in terms of Gilad's own choices but also in how they affect those close to him. His duty to the Geomancers is revealed to come at a cost, and Venditti does a fantastic job in highlighting the personal conflict Gilad is forced to shoulder.
