The Eternal Warrior navigates his toughest deathtrap yet in a Bam Smack Pow exclusive preview!
Valiant Entertainment has sent Bam Smack Pow an exclusive preview of the new arc of Wrath Of The Eternal Warrior #7, taking the company’s immortal hero from his temporary stay in the afterlife to a disorienting trek through The Labyrinth.
This May, Robert Venditti and Raul Allen launch the latest arc in Valiant’s latest hit series in part one of “Labyrinth.” The Warrior has appeared in several prominent Valiant properties like Archer & Armstrong and X-O Manowar, and he was a founding member of super-team Unity. His most significant role yet was defending a powerful child against Master Darque in Book Of The Dead, a victory that cost him his life. He spent the first arc of his latest series fighting his way out of the afterlife to a world that still needs him, and as this arc begins, he has woken up in a very strange place.
Solicit text is as follows:
"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.He will run. He will suffer. And when his ordeal is ended, the Eternal Warrior’s place in the Valiant Universe will be forever altered as New York Times best-selling writer Robert Venditti (BOOK OF DEATH) and visionary artist Raúl Allén (Hawkeye) unleash an all-new epic for Valiant’s immortal master of war!"
