The Eternal Warrior is the protector of the Earth. He has fought for thousands of years with no end in sight. Then one day he is asked to do the unthinkable and walks away from it all.
I will say I like the premise behind this book much better than the execution. This character chooses to sit on the sidelines after being in the thick of things for so long and I kind of wanted him to just do something. The book doesn't lack for action, but it seems more like he is being swept up in the events around him rather than taking control. A large portion of the story involves the children of the Eternal Warrior. This felt out of place because it shifted the focus off of the title character. Plus, I don't recall them making any appearances in later Valiant books, making them feel like throw away characters. To a new reader this might not be a problem.
The book does pick up steam later on and made me interested in seeing where things go. The art is sort of mixed. When it works it works well. At other points it can be confusing. This volume does a great job of giving a different perspective on the Eternal Warrior. Despite some missteps it is still a fun read.
