Preview: Wrath Of The Eternal Warrior #7 From Valiant
By D. Goodman
Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #7 kicks off the “Labyrinth” arc which pits Gilad against his most punishing opponent yet.
Since its first issue, Wrath of the Eternal Warrior has been one of Valiants best titles, regularly treating readers to some of the most outstanding writing and art seen on the stands. Much of that is thanks to Robert Venditti, who has made the character his own and has been one of the main architects of the Valiant Universe since day one.
Now he is ready to kick off the next major storyline in Wrath of the Eternal Warrior and joining him will be Valiant-exclusive artist Raul Allen. The two will begin the “Labyrinth” arc with issue #7 and it looks like it will be one that fans will remember for a long time.
Due out in May, “Labyrinth” will see the Eternal Warrior face off against a maze of horrors that has been designed to torture Gilad both physically and emotionally. The man responsible is only known as The Dying One and both Gilad and readers will learn who he is in this brand new jumping-on point for the series.

From the Valiant press release:
"Across six millennia, Gilad Anni-Padda – an immortal warrior sworn to forever serve the Earth – has felled zealots and madmen, emperors and tyrants in the course of his duty. But nothing he’s faced yet can prepare him to run the “LABYRINTH” – a miles-long maze of horrors specifically designed to undermine his every strength, enhance his every weakness…and to send him screaming into the darkness of death at every turn. But what kind of brilliant-but-twisted psyche could have possibly conceived such a monument to terror…and for how many centuries have they plotted to break the mind and body of history’s most formidable soldier?The answer lies at the heart of the “LABYRINTH” itself…and as Gilad endures a gauntlet of cutting-edge technology and sharpened steel, he’ll soon discover why the merciless figure known only as The Dying One has singled the Eternal Warrior out for the ultimate deathtrap."
Wrath of the Eternal Warrior #7 by Robert Venditti and Raul Allen and featuring a number of variant covers will hit comic shops on May 18, 2016.
