ARCHER & ARMSTRONG #15
- Written by FRED VAN LENTE
- Art by KHARI EVANS
- Cover by CLAYTON HENRY
- Variant Cover by MICHAEL WALSH
WARNING: This is no longer a (FINGER QUOTES) "fun" comic.
Now that the Sect Civil War has begun, it is now a (FINGER QUOTES) "grim" and (FINGER QUOTES) "gritty" work of (REAL QUOTES) "sequential literature" with blood and headshots and naughty words (like "H-E-DOUBLE-HOCKEY-STICKS") and if you squint real hard at the backgrounds, maybe boobies.
In this particular issue that will change the Valiant Universe forever*, the man now calling himself Dark Archer (NOTE TONAL SHIFT) must find his former partner Armstrong so they can reunite to stop the aforementioned Sect Civil War.
And there are almost no fart jokes.
Okay, one.
(* FOREVER = APPROX. 20 MINUTES)

The legendary future of the Valiant Universe – back in print after 20 years!

Infused with the energy of his ancestors and dedicated to the way of the samurai, Rai is sworn to the service of Grandmother – the personified artificial intelligence that governs the island nation of Japan. For forty generations Grandmother's benevolent dominion has endured, but in the wake of her sudden disappearance, Rai will become all that stands between his nation and all-out chaos.
