Eternal Warrior Preview: 4001 AD is Here

Valiant Entertainment have released an advance preview of this month's Eternal Warrior #5, due out on January 22 from New York Times bestselling writer Greg Pak and artist Robert Gill. The issue is the first part of "Eternal Emperor," an all-new story arc in which Valiant's immortal champion, Gilad Anni-Padda, builds a bridge from the modern day to the far-flung future of 4001 A.D. 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 only just beginning for the Eternal Emperor and the tattered remnant of humanity under his protection. Will this be a new dawn for the age of heroes – or its death knell? And what uncanny confluence of science, myth, and magic has rendered the world – and its own Eternal Warrior – into war-ravaged remnants of their former selves? The publisher describes the story as "a groundbreaking new vision of Valiant's famous future 4001 A.D. timeline," featuring variant covers by Dave Bullock and David Mack.
