HEREARCHER & ARMSTRONG #15 (ON SALE 11/13/13)
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)
