Its a gourmet platter of Valiant chatter this week with three awesome books to discuss! Tune in to hear our thoughts on Gilad & his mysterious captor, a wealth of important XO short stories in the annual, and the origin of the first RAI!

First up in Eternal Warrior #7, we get some incredible character development as we learn a little more about his ominous captor – the terrible man with two discoloured eyes who has lived as long as Gilad, and built the ultimate trap for him! Chris takes exception to funerals in a big way during this segment.

Next we dive into several great short stories in the X-O Manowar Annual for 2016 – plenty of connections made here that either reach out to other parts of the greater valiant universe, or have potentially volatile implications for the future of certain existing characters.

Last but not least, RAI #13 dips into the history of New Japan, the origin of the first RAI and the start of many other elements that carry through into the world of 4001 that we are familiar with.

Spoiler alert! We have read these books, and we discuss them assuming you have too. If you don’t want to be spoiled by our conversation, please read all the books before listening.
