Eternal Warrior Timeline

[rkjock1]

Apologies if it was noted elsewhere, but did everybody catch the notation on the summary page in Eternal Warrior #3, that this current story takes place before Archer and Armstrong #5?

So that answers, more or less, the continuity problem.

It was always said in interviews that the story took place before the A&A arc! the notation just made it official.

Now the big question is when exactly did Gilad quit as the Fist and Steel? It seemed to be after the incident with Buck and the Native American tribe, but Xaran wasn't approached to replace him until more recent times (or so it seemed in issue #3).

There is also the issue of Eternal Warrior being shown operating during WWII and during the JFK assassination, despite supposedly quitting during the Civil War.

I asked Dinesh about it at NYCC and he said this story takes place two years before Archer & Armstrong #5.

That too, though it's not out of the question that a warrior like Gilad would continue to take part in a war or other mission he believed was worthy. Even if it wasn't on behalf of the Earth.

I would accept that but I wonder how he knew of the JFK assassination if he seems to have been in isolation all this time. I can understand him finding out about WWII, but the other thing seems strange. I wish they could have just one line to account for these discrepancies. But I like that explanation.

During that flashback he stated he was working for MI6 at the time. He was in seclusion as of this current story, but that doesn't mean he was secluded the entire time he abandoned his position.

He said that during which flashback? The WWII one or the JFK assassination one?

The JFK one I believe...he was talking about running into the Null in the past.

If that's true then I'll be happy to accept that as the explanation for the timeline discrepancies. Thank you

That's interesting, I hadn't heard that. Updating the timeline to reflect that.
