Which of Valiant's Anni-Padda brothers is your fave? Personally, I dig Ivar, because he's aloof, passionate, and shares characteristics of his other brothers such as great strength, intelligence, and occasional desire to have a good time!

gotta give luv to the fat man...mainly because the first 12 books of A&A were just so DAMN good.
Really dig EW as well but as a character like Aram better.

I was going to say ice cream, but it wasn't an option, so I picked Armstrong as it looks like he ate the most ice cream.

Gilad was great and I was into Eternal Warrior much more as a title, but Aram was definitely a unique hero. Armstrong all the way!

Very little love for Ivar, eh?
I think another reason I dig Timewalker is due to his wonderful rendition by both BWS and later Don Perlin. Gorgeous artwork from both gents!

I think Gilad is the most realistic of the three. I can relate to him in the way he does things because it's his job, and he has a duty (even tho he seems to enjoy it)

Aram's the most fun to draw. I just look in the mirror.

I don't mean to say Aram is unrealistic, the fact that after living so long he's pretty much seen it all and doesn't give a hoot anymore is realistic, but I could choose only one!!!

That was one of the draws to Eternal Warrior for me. Hmm, maybe a Highlander crossover with Eternal Warrior??
Who would be left standing??

Me too, I was defiantly into the Adrian Paul Highlander series at that time. Further, I think Ivar shares many similarities with Doctor Who. Being a big Who fan I think that if Ivar would have been developed earlier his series would have been awesome (especially at a time when the Doctor wasn’t on the air).

I think part of the draw of Aram is that we wanted to see more of him but couldnt. We were lucky enough to see a LOT more of Gilad.

Gilad's much cooler, but I think he'd get on my nerves after a bit. So I voted for Aram.
