When rumors started to circulate this weekend that Marvel’s Ultimate Comics line was going to be eliminated, ComicBook.com didn’t cover the reports; we’d heard it all before, after all. The Ultimate line is, for some reason, always rumored to be just a hair’s breadth from extinction, in spite of the...

When we last saw Archer and Armstrong, they had just been introduced to the new Geomancer–a re-envisioning of the classic Valiant character who had survived an encounter with the Null and the One Percent, a couple of groups of nasty-baddies that our two heroes (and Armstrong’s brother The Eternal Warrior)...
About a week ago, DC Comics announced that it was cancelling six titles from its New 52 line of superhero comics, and has not, as yet, announced what they might be replaced with. Replaced, you see, because DC has kept “The New 52″ at fifty-two titles since the post-Flashpoint relaunch...
