| Eternal Warrior #2 Cover by Walter Simonson |
Five months into their stay in the Lost Land, the two Gilads and their friend Geoff still fight the Mothergod. Both have lived thousands of years, yet the Gilad Anni-Padda from the year 4000 sees their battle with Erica Pierce as events long ago. This future-Gilad most regrets how his rocky relationship with Aram deteriorated after they defeated Erica, and he and his brother returned to their lives in the 1990s.
As a geomancer, the Earth speaks to Geoff. Yet when he finds a battered record, it tells him about its previous owner, Erica. Through the warped vinyl, he discovers that the so-called Mothergod is inadvertently repeating the mistakes her father made with her. It would seem that the pattern of abuse, once begun, is not a cycle easily stopped.
One development in this issue makes us wonder if this war in the Lost Land has cost us a second Valiant hero. Another makes future Gilad question whether the events he lived through in the Lost Land must occur as he remembered them.
Eternal Warrior #2 launches us into the final nine issues of the 1990s Unity saga. I can't wait to read more!
