ETERNAL WARRIOR: SCORCHED EARTH is a 100-page original graphic novel from writer Tres Dean (All Time Low Presents: Young Renegades), artist Alberto Taracido, and acclaimed cover artist Gerald Parel, featuring fan-favorite characters the ETERNAL WARRIOR, GEOMANCER, and more as well as introducing a brand-new threat into the Valiant Universe. When a series of mysterious fires appear more targeted than natural, Gilad and Tama begin to suspect there is something more than natural disasters occurring. As Gilad suspects an ancient fire deity is at work and ventures off to ensure they are locked away, Tama focuses on her role as the GEOMANCER without living in Gilad’s shadow and begins to gain notoriety for her public deeds. Together, the two will uncover secrets long buried and learn just how important their relationship is.

"Gilad is a big dude with an axe who lives forever - it doesn't take much more than that to sell me on a character. I've been a fan since reading THE VALIANT on a plane ride to my first San Diego Comic-Con and having the opportunity to work with the character in any capacity at all is surreal,” said writer Tres Dean. “It's even wilder that I get to do it with such an insanely talented creative team, and that in working in the Valiant Universe we're getting to tell a story we feel so strongly about. We're bringing it all to the table in ETERNAL WARRIOR: SCORCHED EARTH."
"I was looking for an exciting challenge -- and it has come up like a Colossus -- nothing less than drawing Eternal Warrior. Wow! Now that's a challenge!”, stated artist Alberto Taracido. “Thanks Valiant for trusting in my pencils!"
