It's a mad, mad, mad, mad Archer & Armstrong event!
Valiant is proud to announce Sect Civil War – an all-new
four part event pitching each of the world's most deadly conspiracies into a
globe-spanning power struggle...and Archer & Armstrong along with them!
Beginning this October, New York Times best-selling writer Fred Van Lente and
Harvey Award nominee Khari Evans begin the knockdown, drag-out A&A storyline
of the year with an all-new jumping-on point in Archer & Armstrong #14 –
and no conspirator will escape unscathed!
For centuries, the cloak-and-dagger coalition of
conspiracies collectively known as The Sect has worked together to bring silent
oppression and undercover tyranny to a world that thought it was free. But, now
after centuries of profit sharing and uneasy alliances, the factions of The
Sect are about to erupt into open conflict…and the only men that can end the
insanity are Archer & Armstrong! Too bad they're fighting for different
sides! Why? How? And will either survive?
"Suffice to say something happens that puts Archer
and Armstrong against each other to the point where you might even be able to
re-title the book Archer Versus Armstrong," Van Lente told Comic BookResources. "Unfortunately, I can't really reveal more than that, but it's
something that's been building for a while and will explode rather
messily…"
Featuring a standard cover by new series artist Khari
Evans, also look for a series of special Sect Civil War shelf covers by Michael
Walsh (The X-Files, Comeback), beginning with the Archer & Armstrong #14
Pullbox Exclusive Variant – available exclusively to comic shop subscribers who
pre-order with their local retailer.
The One Percent. The Black Block. The Master Builders.
The Sisters of Perpetual Darkness. Every enemy. Against each other. From
Ancient Egypt to modern day Wall Street, get ready to run a history-tripping,
continent-spanning rat race that will pit villain against villain, Sect against
Sect – and Archer against Armstrong!
In the end, only one can emerge victorious... Place your
bets when Sect Civil War begins on October 9th in Archer & Armstrong #14!
