Posted on by

Valiant‘s award-winning heroes are getting reunited…and it doesn’t feel so good!

Valiant has released a first look inside A&A: The Adventures of Archer & Armstrong #2 – the next head-shaking chapter of 2016’s newest blockbuster series from red-hot writer Rafer Roberts and superstar artist David Lafuente! On April 13th, “In the Bag” continues here as Valiant’s greatest mis-adventurers do the unthinkable and hit rock bottom…inside Armstrong’s bottomless satchel! Imprisoned by Bacchus, the self-appointed god of inebriation, Archer and Armstrong’s only shot at salvation (and sobriety) rests in Mary-Maria! But will Archer’s step-sister/oldest flame (ew) rescue the dynamic-ish duo…or turn Armstrong’s satchel and its infinite treasures over to the Sisters of Perpetual Darkness?

After following Armstrong into the depths of his infinite satchel in a search for booze, Archer and his partner, history’s most inebriated immortal, have found themselves prisoners of…uh…what’s this villain’s name again?

What secret is about to come roaring out of the past to haunt him? And is Archer doomed to the repeat Armstrong’s tragic mistakes? Plus: It’s a day in the life of Valiant’s new breakout character of 2016 – hey kids, get ready for DAVEY THE MACKEREL!

A&A: The Adventures of Archer & Armstrong #2 Jumps “In The Bag”

Posted on by

This spring, Valiant’s award-winning adventurers are reunited…and it won’t feel so good! Trapped in a prison of their own making, Archer & Armstrong are going head-to-head with monsters, ninja nuns, the Greek god of parties, and a talking fish-man too for a tale so debauched it could only be called…“IN THE BAG”!

Valiant has released a first look inside A&A: The Adventures of Archer & Armstrong #2 – the second shock-inducing issue of Valiant’s ALL–NEW ONGOING SERIES from rising star Rafer Roberts and superstar artist David Lafuente! On April 13th, comics’ most dysfunctional duo are going even deeper “In the Bag” as Archer & Armstrong continue their mind-shattering rescue mission into the depths of Armstrong’s bottomless satchel! Their journey began like all great journeys do – with a search for history’s finest bottle of whiskey – and ended with the disgruntled god of intoxication, Bacchus, taking Armstrong as his prisoner! Now, it’s down to teenage marksman and Armstrong’s best-est pal Obadiah Archer to save his immortal partner…but only if he can survive the mythological monsters and bizarre historical oddities that thrive in the upside-down reaches of Armstrong’s endless satchel first!

After following Armstrong into the depths of his infinite satchel in a search for booze, Archer and his partner, history’s most inebriated immortal, have found themselves prisoners of…uh…what’s this villain’s name again? Armstrong may not be able to remember what their captor, Bacchus, is all about, but he sure is upset by the memories tied to a rare bottle of whiskey. What secret is about to come roaring out of the past to haunt him? And is Archer doomed to the repeat Armstrong’s tragic mistakes?

All this, plus goblins, golems, and another star-making appearance from Valiant’s new breakout character of 2016… Hey kids, get ready for the man, the legend, the fish…because Davey the Mackerel is back and he means business!

Small Press Expo 2014: The Graphic Novel and Comic Highlights

Posted on by

an iranian metamorphosisI love Small Press Expo, as it’s a convention that puts me in front of hundreds of small press and independent comics that I never see in Previews or on my local stores’ shelves (let alone coverage at comic blogs, but we promise to do better!). I walked out with a decent pile of books from the show, and here’s the pile!

An Iranian Metamorphosis by Mana Neyestani and published by Uncivilized Books. The graphic novel was at the top of my list of books to get leading up to the show. One of Neyestani’s cartoons sparked riots in Iran, which landed him and his editor in solitary confinement. The graphic novel explores the complex interplay between art, law, politics, ethnic sensitivities, and authoritarian elements inside Iran’s Islamic Republic as well as refugee’s attempts to find safety and freedom.

on the booksOn the Books: A Graphic Tale of Working Woes at NYC’s Strand Bookstore (World Around Us) by Greg Farrel and published by Microcosm Publishing. The graphic novel is the first-hand account of the 2012 labor struggle at New York City’s legendary Strand bookstore.

War of Streets and Houses by Sophie Yanow and published by Uncivilized Books. The graphic novel is about the American artist witnessing the Quebec spring 2012 student strike on the streets of Montreal, the police’s brutal response all wrapped up in an exploration of urban planning and its hidden connections to military strategies.

The Nixon Museum by Art Baxter and published by Phinkwell Comics Collective. The graphic novel is an interesting look at the complicated former President. I have a weird love of Nixon.

War of Streets and HousesBonnie N. Collide: Nine to Five #5-#8 by Monica Gallagher. If you’ve never read this comic series you’re missing out. It’s about a roller derby girl and her non roller derby life.

Nervenkrank: A Story About John Heartfield by Katherine K. Wirick. The comic tells the story of John Heartfield who was a founding member of the Berlin Dada group and was best known for his political photomontages which satirized and railed against Adolf Hitler, the Nazi Party, German warmongering, and the injustices of capitalism.

The Rebel Gun #1 by Josh Hixon and Dead Crow Comics. The art looks fantastic in this crime noir. I flipped through the book and was sold just by the amazing art.

The Humans #0 by Keenan Marshall Keller and Tom Neely. I love Tom Neely’s Henry and Glenn: Forever, so to get in on the ground floor of his new series is a must. This one will get some mainstream love when the first issue is released by Image Comics in November.
