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. 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 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–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.Archer & 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).
