Valiant Entertainment has launched a Kickstarter for a new graphic novel using their already established superhero Eternal Warrior and it’s already a success. With 27 days to go the campaign has already surpassed its $25,000 goal.
This isn’t the first time a major comics publisher launched a Kickstarter with last year’s BRZRKR raking in 1.4 million dollars for BOOM! Studios.
Eternal Warrior: Scorched Earth is an original 100+ page graphic novel written by Tres Dean with art by Alberto Taracido, color by Rain Beredo, and letters by Tom Napolitano. With a cover by Gerald Parel, this is Valiant’s first original graphic novel to be hosted on Kickstarter.
With over $37,000 pledged and 27 days to go there’s no telling how well the campaign will do, especially with its’ various tiers like a digital-only option, an exclusive hardcover option, and fun options like being drawn into the comic as well as a retailer set option.
So what’s Eternal Warrior: Scorched Earth about?
Gilad Anni-Padda, the ETERNAL WARRIOR and the fist and steel of Earth, is one of the three immortal Anni-Padda brothers alongside Ivar the Timewalker and Aram aka Armstrong. Gilad is tasked with protecting each generation’s GEOMANCER, an individual who communes with nature to help Earth not just survive but thrive. Gilad’s triumphs and defeats throughout the centuries have led him from the depths of the Hellscape to clash with invaders from other worlds, but he is about to face a new threat that even his centuries of experience couldn’t prepare him for.
Tama, the powerful GEOMANCER, has studied beside Gilad as her protector while she learns what it means to communicate with the Earth and accept the responsibility before her. With her trusted Book of the Geomancer, she has proven herself more than capable, even helping Gilad save the world at a young age. But to become the GEOMANCER she is meant to be; she must experience the world for herself and discover her strengths.
As Gilad becomes a father figure for Tama, a series of mysterious fires suddenly begin to appear more targeted than natural and they each suspect there is something more than natural disasters occurring. When Gilad questions whether an ancient fire deity is at work, he ventures off to ensure they are locked away while Tama focuses on her role as the GEOMANCER without living in Gilad’s shadow and begins to find her way into the public eye. Together, the two will uncover secrets long buried and learn just how important their relationship is.
