Archer & Armstrong #7

This Harvey Award-nominated Valiant collection brings together a roster of talented creators — Fred Van Lente, Ray Fawkes, Karl Bollers, Clayton Henry, and Joe Eisma — for "The One Percent and Other Tales," a subtitle that hints at the series' sharp satirical edge. Pere Pérez's cover art captures the dynamic duo at the center of an absolute brawl, with the dark-haired, sword-wielding Archer and the bald, broad-shouldered Armstrong back-to-back as a chaotic crowd of fighters surges around them beneath a fiery orange sky. Entertainment Weekly called it "wild stuff…one of the best high-concept pairings ever," and a glance at this cover makes it easy to see why.
