Archer & Armstrong gets a second printing before its first issue hits the stands.
Source: Press Release
The Summer of Valiant has been a pretty successful one, as it's been seel-out here, second printing there, etc. Now, it's Archer & Armstrong's turn, notable because that series hasn't actually had an issue hit the shelves yet. Archer & Armstrong had a strong fan following the first time around, and there's a lot of anticipation for this revival, but Fred Van Lente and Clayton Henry. But you can read all about that yourselves below, as well as take a look at the variant cover for the second printing, as well as some never-before seen art from the first issue.
Oh, while we're at it, X-O Manowar #1, Valiant's launch title, is hitting its fourth printing. That ain't bad.
