NINJA NUUUNSSS. PIRATE NUUUUUNNNSSS. LOL it strived too hard to be funny but all in all I kinda liked it. Will reflect over getting the second volume or not for two whole days. Plot is okay, something to think about. I guess. Kinda moved really fast tho.

It's appropriate that I'm reading both Archer & Armstrong and Preacher this month for my comics discussion group, as both deal with subverted, violent fictional mythos in contrast to fundamentalist Christian subculture. And I have to say, from my memory of Preacher so many years ago, this Valiant book is at least doing a better, more subtle job of it.
There were a few annoying things in this book, like, for example: "The Sect" is probably the worst name for a worldwide ultimate evil secret society that has infiltrated every other secret society. They'd might as well be called The Subcommittee or The Unorthodox Group, which is basically what sect means. I had to remind myself that this is slightly updated Indiana Jones-style humor, so when they're putting together some alien artifact using a piece called The Sphere, which is not at all spherical, I was able to get over it and just try having fun.
Overall, there are enough cliches avoided within the genre of religious cult sci-fi domination schemes that I'd like to read the subsequent volumes. But I'm not going to be bumping to the top of my To-Read queue anytime soon.

Solid art, interesting premise, but the dialogue too heavily relies on quippy banter during the many fight sequences and the politics (which I agree with) are too obviously signaled, even heavy-handed at times.

This is probably my last Archer & Armstrong. The comedy sporadic but the story is just unsatisfying to me now.

1. Hoje é Terça.
2. Acabei a trade ontem mas fazer a entrada da review a uma Terça faz muito mais sentido.
3. Que dupla! ='D
4. Com a breca!
5. Acho que o ponto alto foi mesmo este

Gostei particularmente da sequência do carrinho de golf. Desce um bocadinho relativamente ao primeiro volume, mas continua em grande nível.

Exibir algo como o general Redacted apenas num terceiro volume é de uma Van Lentia (podia lá resistir a este trocalho) soberba.

Já li coisas da Valiant com arte melhor =/
Ainda bem que a loucura em crossover compensa os momentos menos conseguidos.

A sequência com o assunto JFK é soberba q.b. para perdoar enchidelas de chouriço e TPF's.

Embora dotadas de alguma da loucura que faz de A&A um mimo, não há aqui material que justifique uma trade.
