Eternal Warrior Vol. 2: Eternal Emperor

This second volume of the Eternal Warrior fast forwards to the year 4001 A.D.  We get to view the Eternal Warrior with a village trying to live a simpler life all of the sudden danger comes in the form of a robot carrying a nuclear bomb.  This forces Gilad to travel on a quest with his grand daughter to the city to find the origin of these robotic abominations.  The journey leads him to the local king who needs his help.  The end of the story is really touching in a way that Gilad was able to save his tribe & his grand daughter but at what cost?

Eternal Warrior Vol. 1: Sword of the Wild

This first volume of the Eternal Warrior is really a stand alone story about Gilad & how he has lost his way.  Over the years while he was the guardian for the Geomancer for the the House of the Earth he settled down to help raise a family.  While warring with one of the other houses Gilad lost his family this did not immediately dissuade him from his chosen path but instead it became the seed that would lead to his walking away in the late eighteen hundreds.  It is only when his daughter returns after six thousand years that he decides to pick up the fight again, but this time he wants to destroy the houses starting with Mother Earth.  This volume ends with a bang but where it goes from here is any ones guess this seems to be a different Gilad than has been previously seen in Archer & Armstrong.

Archer & Armstrong Vol. 2: Wrath of the Eternal Warrior

Archer & Armstrong just rides the wave it built up in the first book all the way to the beachhead.  There are little hints here and there that these characters exist in an even larger universe.  But the real surprise for me is that Gilad the Eternal Warrior is Armstrong's younger brother.  I want more of a back story for the Eternal Warrior.  Throughout this whole volume our heroic duo has been on the run from Gilad for accidentally killing the previous Geomancer a Hitler look-a-like.  However by the end of this volume the earth as chosen a new spokesperson in the form of Kay McHenry & the Null have been nullified.
