ETERNAL WARRIOR # 4Written by Greg Pak
Art by Trevor Hairsine, Diego Bernard, Alejandro Sicat, Vicente Cifuentes & Guy Major
Valiant Comics
FLIPPING THROUGH:
Gilad
and Xaran get the scoop on Nergal’s new general from Buck. Buck also gives them
the lowdown on the Goddess of the Earth. And after that, Gilad STILL wants to
kill her.
ART:
Hairsine
and Bernard do a fantastic job again
with this issue. The art was nice and detailed. Sicat and Cifuentes inks do a
great job cleaning up Hairsine’s rougher pencils to make it look cleaner this
issue. The transition between the two artists was near seamless. A great amount of detail in the panels
alongside with some great emotional pieces throughout the book really expressed
a lot of the story without words. Bernard really does some magnificent pieces
this issue and look forward to more of his work. Major does a breathtaking job
on the colors. Overall, a good job by this art team.
WRITING:
WRITING:
Pak
ends his first arc on Eternal Warrior with a LARGE BANG. This issue had an
amazingly strong amount of emotion and heart that I had not felt since reading
Gilad during Archer & Armstrong # 0. This was definitely the high point of
the issue. The dialogue in this issue was
nothing short of brilliant. It was powerful, authentic and moving. There was so much to this issue
but it was extremely well paced. And there is some great character development
for Gilad, Xaran and even Mitu that felt like a real evolution of what they
were going through. Pak also gives us
enough twists this issue to make you go “WTF,” but in a good way. Overall, Pak
written his best issue yet.
OVERALL IMPRESSION:
