Archer & Armstrong Hard cover announced!

VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT TO RELEASE ARCHER & ARMSTRONG HARDCOVER IN SEPTEMBER

Deluxe Edition to Feature All-New Story Written by Jim Shooter

Following the successes of its first two deluxe hardcover edition releases, Harbinger: The Beginning and X-O Manowar: Birth, Valiant Entertainment will release its third hardcover edition, Archer & Armstrong: First Impressions, on September 24.

The Archer & Armstrong: First Impressions hardcover edition will contain issues #0-6, digitally recolored and wrapped in a brand new dust jacket cover by legendary artist, Michael Golden. Like their previous two hardcover releases, Archer & Armstrong: First Impressions will contain an all-new story written exclusively for this edition. “The Formation of the Sect”, by original series creator Jim Shooter and artists Sal Velluto and Bob Almond, tells the long-awaited story of how and why Armstrong has been pursued by this secret organization all these years.

“Our first two hardcovers have been big hits with Valiant fans both new and old,” said Walter J. Black, Senior VP & Publisher of Valiant Entertainment. “We expect this new one will be received just as well. We’ve put together a solid package highlighted by the all-new Jim Shooter short story. If you’re new to the series, this is a great way to get involved. If you’ve read it before, this new story alone will make picking it up worthwhile.”

Considered “the superhero buddy book of the decade” by Wizard Magazine, Archer & Armstrong tells the story of comics’ most unlikely traveling companions. When Archer’s preacher parents betray and try to murder him, he goes in search of enlightenment returning as the world’s greatest hand-to-hand fighter seeking revenge. Instead of revenge he finds Armstrong, the centuries old immortal wanderer who spends his time drinking, fighting and spinning tales of his hedonistic adventures throughout history. Together they span the globe facing down a threat that could destroy the world.

Archer & Armstrong: First Impressions will be available to order through Diamond Comic Distributors in their July 2008 issue of Previews which reaches comic stores on June 25.

Valiant Comics - X-O Manowar: Birth HC


I was paging through this months previews and came across the new Hard cover release of X-O Manowar: Birth. This new collection includes issues 0-6 and an all new story by Bob Layton and mike Leeke entitled "The rise of Lydia". All I know is that this book will be in my greedy little hands as soon as it is released. I loved all of Valiants titles back in the 90's and I am really glad they have been getting the rights back to republish those stories. If you haven't picked up the Harbinger HC that was released last year, you should pick up a copy, it is a great read.

Sample page from Bob Laytons "The Rise of Lydia"
