Was the training session a way of holding up a red flag to readers that it was on the table, since we're about to go into at least one story where he'll be surrounded by powered characters? Van Lente: No, that cigar is just a cigar.Ĭ: We haven't really seen Archer "copying" others' powers a ton. Remember, of course, that these commentary tracks are spoiler-heavy, so if you haven't already read the book (which you really should have by now), grab it at ComiXology and join us for the conversation.Ĭ: Now, given how much research you like to put into these things, I have to ask: is the test Archer is taking in the opening pages a send-up, or is this an accurate representation of a test people are taking for psych evals?įred Van Lente: No, it's a parody - I couldn't tell you what it is PRS is looking for here, maybe a certain combination of responses that indicate brain activity frequently found in Psiots.Ĭ: Is the kid next to him in class meant to be anyone in specific? I kept watching for familiar faces but I'm maybe not as up on my Harbinger as I should be. Corps-a series which will end shortly after the Archer & Armstrong tie-in.so the stakes coming up are pretty high, since a character death (or even a defection to join Archer and Armstrong themselves) wouldn't be totally out of the question along the way.Īrcher & Armstrong writer Fred Van Lente joined us, as usual, to discuss the most recent issue, look back at some of the ways previous issues of the series have reflected this previously-unknown history of Archer and forward to how it might impact the title's future (hint: it seems there might be a new character hanging around when all is said and done). In the issue, we got a look at Archer's secret history with Project Rising Spirit, the operation behind the action in Harbinger and Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps, Fred Van Lente and Pere Perez's Archer & Armstrong: Archer #0 hit over a week ago-so what's taken us so long to talk about it? In an issue that's simultaneously a flashback and a step toward the big crossover story "Mission: Improbable" that's coming up next month featuring Bloodshot and the H.A.R.D.
