September 6, 2017, 10:34pm

Fred Van Lente, having crafted one of the coolest, most original new superhero comics of 2012, came into 2013 strong…and we managed to miss him.Actually, what happened was that I had a series of deaths in and close to my family, so forgive the lateness of this commentary, but once it was a week late, it was easier to let it get two weeks late while I caught up, etc.Thankfully, Van Lente is a tolerant man, and joined ComicBook.com to talk about the action-packed first appearance of the new Geomancer in Archer & Armstrong #6.As always of course, this is a spoiler-filled interview. If you don’t have it already, go buy it and read along with us.ComicBook.com: How do you think the flashbacks at the opening of an issue translates to the trade collection? I always feel like it generally works well but since page one flashbacks are such a convention in comics, I wonder if you ever think about that kind of thing.Fred Van Lente: The individual issues in a trade are separated by covers, so it shouldn’t be hard to follow. Besides, since we’re cutting to and from such wildly divergent time periods, that’ll make it even easier.
