Valiant Comics reveals “Archer & Armstrong” #1 cover, interior artwork

Valiant has revealed the Mico Suayan cover to “Archer & Armstrong” No. 1, created by writer Fred Van Lente (Amazing Spider-Man) and artist Clayton Henry (Incredible Hercules)!

Here’s the description of the series, from Valiant:

Obadiah Archer was raised to uphold three things above all else: the values of his parents, the love of his 22 brothers and sisters, and his lifelong mission to defeat the ultimate evildoer. Now, after years of training, Archer has been dispatched to the heart of America’s debauched modern day Babylon, aka New York City, to root out and kill this infamous Great Satan. Unfortunately, dying has never been easy for Archer’s target – the hard-drinking immortal known as Armstrong! Together, this unlikely pair of heroes is about to stumble headfirst into a centuries-old conspiracy that could bring the whole of ancient history crashing down on modern civilization.

The first issue of the series goes on sale Aug. 8.  Valiant has released “X-O Manowar” and series “Harbinger” and “Bloodshot” are also scheduled for release this summer.   For “Archer & Armstrong,” Clayton Henry will draw the “pullbox exclusive” variant, and David Aja and Neal Adams are providing additional variant covers.
