When you’re immortal, 20 years might not seem like a lot of time. Eternal Warrior: Days of Steel #2 from Valiant takes place over that time span, all while Gilad is waiting to see the result of a single choice he made. It’s still an excellent read, especially in context with the first issue, but the pacing of the story holds this issue back as a comic on it’s own.

Delinquents #1 Review! Hobo Kings, Butt Maps, and Evil Agriculture Companies
Before I get to the content of this issue, let me just say that if you have not read any of the Archer and Armstrong or Quantum and Woody comics that Valiant has been publishing the past couple of years, this is not the best entry point for either series. Now I don’t mean that in order to read this comic you need to be up-to-date with both series; all you need to read is the first arc of both books so you can understand the power sets, attitudes, and character relationships of both teams. You can sort of piece things together if this is your first exposure to these characters, but you will get the most out of this issue if you go into this already knowing everyone. I’m telling you this because I’m coming from someone who has read both books, so I’ll be reviewing this comic from that point of view. If you haven’t read either book, you can skip this issue. If you have read either (or preferably both) books, well lets get to that now. [Read more…] about Delinquents #1 Review! Hobo Kings, Butt Maps, and Evil Agriculture Companies

There might be an alien invasion of earth, and it impacted the Fantastic Four in their own unique way, as it did Spider-Man.
