For over six thousand years, Gilad Anni-Padda has sworn to be Eternal Warrior: Sword of the Wild Volume 1 sword and protector Earth and her intermediary, the Geomancer. He's essentially immortal, as the Earth resurrects him aft "Give it time. He's essentially immortal, as the Earth resurrects him after death throughout history to keep his vow. But recently, Gilad has quit his duties because the last few geomancers have been assholes and he is doubting the judgment of the Earth itself. But after the return of his equally immortal daughter, dire news springs him back into action. You can tell that there are some world-building ideas here, some of them interesting, but the execution is all pretty half-assed. It feels like this needed to go through a few more drafts so it all could get fully fleshed out, as nothing introduced in this book is truly clear, whether it's the different Houses, the "gods," Xaram and Mitu's role in it all, or why Gilad is so mad at the Earth goddess. I had read that Valiant pretty much abandoned the ideas from this series and probably for good reason. So it wouldn't hurt to skip this one. Dec 30, Sam Quixote rated it liked it. Gilad Anni-Padda is the Eternal Warrior, a multi-millennium-old champion of the planet, killing anyone the Earth God asks as part of her obscure plan. Lots of cool action ensues and Pak sets up the characters relationships nicely with Gilad favouring Eternal Warrior: Sword of the Wild Volume 1 son Mitu and disliking for good reason it turns out his daughter Xaran. The series takes a while to set up once the action is over and done with. The story in this book feels epic in concept - Eternal Warrior: Sword of the Wild Volume 1 goes to kill the Earth God - but is disappointingly pedestrian in execution. It basically amounts to Gilad blowing up a tree! The action in the second half of the book is also less interesting than in Ancient Mesopotamia. Epic painted landscapes with amazing colours from Brian Reber and elegant yet vicious fight scenes all make, at least part of, this book absolutely beautiful to look at.

The art by Emanuela Lupacchino and Guillermo Ortego, while not particularly innovative, is quite good. Super fun comics! Along the way, Archer is guided by visions of Ivar, whom he first mistakenly believes is God or an agent of Heaven. I felt like the art in this book was a step up over the previous volume. Ray rated it really liked it Nov 12, Universal Conquest Wiki. Also, I'm not sure it was meant to be read that way, but he loses all the previous Geomancers he's supposed to be protecting. See all. They are quirky enough to play well off each other. Wish there was more to this run! Fred Van Lente. Otherwise, I have no connection at all to either the author or the publisher of this book. Adding Gilad was a nice Archer & Armstrong: Book 2 in world building but I wish there were more quiet moments. By adjusting his eyes for aim, he is an expert marksman and archer with any gun or bow-based weapon. Eventually, he gains enough control over his rage Archer & Armstrong: Book 2 act clandestinely when he must. His brother Armstrong, on the other hand, likes to read poetry and drink beer.

  • A Thousand Sons
    THE HORUS HERESY Graham McNeill A THOUSAND SONS All is dust… 1 A Thousand Sons THE HORUS HERESY It is a time of legend. Mighty heroes battle for the right to rule the galaxy. The vast armies of the Emperor of Earth have conquered the galaxy in a Great Crusade – the myriad alien races have been smashed by the Emperor’s elite warriors and wiped from the face of history. The dawn of a new age of supremacy for humanity beckons. Gleaming citadels of marble and gold celebrate the many victories of the Emperor. Triumphs are raised on a million worlds to record the epic deeds of his most powerful and deadly warriors. First and foremost amongst these are the primarchs, superheroic beings who have led the Emperor’s armies of Space Marines in victory after victory. They are unstoppable and magnificent, the pinnacle of the Emperor’s genetic experimentation. The Space Marines are the mightiest human warriors the galaxy has ever known, each capable of besting a hundred normal men or more in combat. Organised into vast armies of tens of thousands called Legions, the Space Marines and their primarch leaders conquer the galaxy in the name of the Emperor. Chief amongst the primarchs is Horus, called the Glorious, the Brightest Star, favourite of the Emperor, and like a son unto him. He is the Warmaster, the commander-in-chief of the Emperor’s military might, subjugator of a thousand worlds and conqueror of the galaxy. He is a warrior without peer, a diplomat supreme. As the flames of war spread through the Imperium, mankind’s champions will all be put to the ultimate test.

By Lyndsey Erin Shelton Under the mentorship of Dr. Darin H. Van Tassell ABSTRACT It is a widely accepted notion that a child can only be called stupid for so long before they believe it, can only be treated in a particular way for so long before that is the only way that they know. Why is that notion never applied to how we treat, address, and present religion and the religious to children and young adults? In recent years, questions have been continuously brought up about how we portray violence, sexuality, gender, race, and many other issues in popular media directed towards young people, particularly video games.
