Valiant is taking you in the future.
Greg Pak (Batman/Superman) and Diego Bernard (Shadowman, Witchblade) will jump-start the legendary future timeline of the Valiant Universe in Eternal Warrior #5!
Pak and Bernard reveal an all-new vision of the year 4001 as the Eternal Warrior soldiers into “Eternal Emperor” – a brand new story arc revealing a transformed Gilad Anni-Padda fighting the forces of final extinction to protect what’s left of humanity on a ravaged continent.
“This is a radically different future with huge emotional ramifications for our characters,” Pak told IGN. “We’re going whole hog here – taking advantage of this crazy premise to explore a massive, mind-bending story we could never do in the present.”
“The future timeline was always an essential element of the original Valiant Universe,” added Valiant Executive Editor Warren Simons. “We’re continuing in that grand tradition with ‘Eternal Emperor,‘ an action-packed milestone that shows the Eternal Warrior in a new light, one that’s vivid and heartbreaking, and taps into the best that the character has to offer.”
Here’s what you need to know to navigate the futureverse:
“Two thousand years from today, the planet has been transformed by science, technology…and war. The centuries have not been kind to the Earth’s own undying warrior – but a battle that could change everything is just beginning right here in the 21st century. Find out where the roots of humanity’s last stand will begin when Greg Pak and Diego Bernard build a bridge to the year 4001…and unearth a brand new era for the heroes of the Valiant Universe.”
Eternal Warrior #5 arrives in January.
