GET SMASHED...OR BE SMASHED! Meet Armstrong: Since the ancient city of
Ur, this immortal adventurer has spent the last 7,000 years drinking and
carousing his way through history alongside some of the greatest
merrymakers the world has ever known. Meet Archer: A sheltered teenage
martial arts master and expert marksman that was raised for a single
purpose - to kill the devil incarnate. Little did he know that this
undying evil was actually Armstrong (he's actually a pretty good
guy...once you get to know him) and, since hitting the road together,
the two have become great friends and even better partners. Now: Archer
is about to set off on his most dangerous mission yet - a quest into the
mystic reaches of Armstrong's bottomless satchel to liberate his friend
and comrade from the clutches of the mad god Bacchus! (Okay, so,
Armstrong went into the satchel himself to get a bottle of whiskey that
he kinda misplaced and got stuck. It's like the Amazon warehouse of
arcane treasures in there...and he doesn't exactly have a maid service.)
Imprisoned in Armstrong's satchel for centuries, Bacchus now commands a
legion of monsters, goblins and golems bent on escaping back into the
world of man and enacting revenge on their captor... Can Archer
single-handedly combat the godly embodiment of intoxication himself -
and rescue his best buddy - without becoming lost amongst Armstrong's
endless repository of bizarre artifacts and historical oddities in the
process? From red-hot rising star Rafer Roberts (Plastic Farm) and
superstar artist David Lafuente (Ultimate Spider-Man), Valiant's next
blockbuster series starts here! Collecting A&A: THE ADVENTURES OF ARCHER
& ARMSTRONG #1-4.
