The FUTURE is NOW!!!! 4001 is coming....

[Carson]

4001 is coming in Eternal Warrior #5. So excited! We've already heard references from Timewalker in A&A about the sentient cities... this HAS to lead into RAI!!!

Yes.

Hell. Yes.

[kevinbastos]

This freaking COVER IS FANTASTIC!

[BugsySig]

Yes. Yes. Yes. Yes. YYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSS! *SQUEE* yes!

[Carson]

Rai cannot be far off! Especially with the sentient city hint planted by Timewalker in A&A!

"Warren Simons: Rai? What's a Rai? A future spirit guardian of Japan, you say? Nope, got nothing to say about that! But come see us at NYCC…you might get lucky."

[leonmallett]

Is it me or does the cover image suggest a cybernetic arm (looking at the elbow joint)?

Everyone has cybernetic arms in the future!



It does look like that though, I wonder what he did to *SQUEE* off the earth that she wouldn't let him grow a new one...

This is awesome news. I cannot wait. This has to be Rai. VEI likes to relaunch on #5.

[iwantvaliant]

So happy with this. I'm sure we'll hear more at NYCC.

[bygranddesign]

cool! Another thread for me to dance around and freak out in ...



I'm guessing that every title has the potential to jump up to 4001 for a story arc or two?

Harbinger - its a multi-national corporation. In 4001 it could be a corporation-state. A corporation owned country of Psiot's perhaps?

Shadowman - the Shadow Loa is an immortal spirit ..it could find a new host in 4001.

Archer and Armstrong - Armstrong is immortal. Archer has unlimited potential - even if he doesn't learn to slow his aging .. he probably has mastered the Ivar Time Arcs already so he can jump into the future using those. His legacy, "timeless word" and followers will be huge influences in 4001.

Bloodshot - the nanites can continue to evolve and live on - even if the host dies...

X-O Manowar - Aric might not live forever ... but the armor will live on. Maybe find another "worthy" host in 4001

Quantum and Woody - they are made of energy ... so would they even age?

Rai was introduced in Magnus #5 too... soooooooo.... yeah.

I am so excited that if I was a little dog, I would be running around jumping on stuff and peeing... we have no smilie for that one though...

The Crain and Larosa covers do hint at a left cybernetic arm. The other covers show a normal arm.

[Carson]

OK guys... there is oficially no doubt in my mind that RAI is coming. Check out this cover:

[pixierosa]

Love that homage cover. Really excited about this new arc and the likelihood of Rai!

"if I was a little dog"? like that's ever stopped you before...

That Clayton Crain cover is sick!!! Might be my new favorite. This is fantastic news!

The Crain cover really has a Metabarons vibe. Interesting too that Gilad appears to have aged if that is him. Makes me wish I was still picking up monthlies and hadn't moved on to trades.

And just to reiterate, that Crain cover is just ridiculous

I'll spoiler tag this, but it was revealed in EW #1 and this is the "spoiler section":
Gilad does age - the speculation is the aging is due to him not doing the job the Earth assigned him, but I'm not sure that he just ages until he is killed, then resurrected by the Earth again

This makes me almost as happy as the Red Sox win last night did

Boo! I'm a Rays fan. Although, Mike Napoli's beard makes me want to grown mine again. He looks a lot like I once did with the shaved head and big beard.

Dunlow- Thanks for the education! Interesting take.

Nah.... just coincidence!

So are we never going to see Kay McHenry again? I was hoping to see more of her in this series. As a new fan of Valiant I can't say I'm excited to have two separate timelines. I feel that creates strange limitations with the past series. I'd rather just have one solid timeline, I feel it's easier to connect with the stories than t way. I know we'll see more of current EW in Unity, and I'll still be continuing to get this series, as with every Valiant book, but I'm cautious about this direction.

[jmatt]

Hell. Yes. Finally!

This gets my highest elation rating of 5 Dancing Bananas!



PS - and I didn't read the article. I want surprises!
