4. Archer and Armstrong

One is an immortal party machine, driven by revelry and alcohol. The other is a trained yet naïve badass who’s been raised in a religious cult to kill the first. Now they’re traveling the globe, uncovering conspiracies and saving the world.

If that doesn’t sell you immediately, I guess I’m not doing my job properly. Archer and Armstrong is one of the first titles of the Valiant reboot, and it’s also one of the strongest. The duo are made to contrast beautifully in a way that endlessly charms and delights. Armstrong’s party-hard attitude makes him the perfect guy to introduce Archer to the world so long denied him.

Also, the joys of seeing each arc’s conspiracy bend and twist around historical truth is a fun exercise. Seriously, seeing Armstrong pop up in that Ninjak vs. the Valiant Universe teaser made me squeal really loud.

I’m very lucky I didn’t wind up waking anyone and having to explain why I was giddily clutching my laptop.
