Armstrong: Vault Of Spirits 1-shot Discussion
If anyone would like to hear our OTV:VCR podcast discussing/reviewing this issue, please follow the link below.
Also for the first time, we broke with our strict format of only reviewing new comics to take time to discuss the recent DMG takeover.

A very enjoyable one-shot. This story just kept getting better all the way through. Loved the art too.

Re: Armstrong: Vault Of Spirits 1-shot Discussion
It felt like an actual Archer & Armstrong story, which is quite refreshing since it has honestly been some time since we had one despite having the A&A title for several months! lol!

This was ok, some nice nods to continuity, and a lighthearted ending...

Re: Armstrong: Vault Of Spirits 1-shot Discussion
I enjoyed the light read. It was fun. I seem to get so mentally vested in the big titles so this was a nice break.

Re: Armstrong: Vault Of Spirits 1-shot Discussion
I enjoyed it, and I'm wondering what was intended by the idea that Ivar doesn't believe he will ever see Neela again but Neela showed up (secretly to Aram) with a surprise gift for Ivar.

Re: Armstrong: Vault Of Spirits 1-shot Discussion
This was a fantastic issue! Loved all the characters and the flashback tale to Noah. Art by CAFU was amazing, just all around a great issue. I agree, this is the A&A book we should be getting. Why oh why can't we get an A&A, Q&W, EW, Timewalker or Faith book of this quality every month?

Ya, I've been spending a lot of time trying to create a "reading" order. I get excited when the books interconnect like this one.

I have to say, I enjoyed this immensely. I could feel the Valiant Universe reconnecting as I read it.kinggirlfriend wrote:This was a fantastic issue!
