Okay, I admit I had a really good time reading this and it’s slowly getting better in terms of a whole fleshed out series. There are things that I still don’t completely understand, thing I feel I’m missing, but catching up with the past issues should be enough to fix that. And wanting to go back and find past issues is a sign of a good book.
It’s a middle paced sort of story, with no drama, fighting, action, or similar in your face elements. Sure, many of these show up at the very end of the book, but the humor on every page if the real focus and made it worth reading. More than in any past chapters the comedy s on point, and it’s a very strong and well worked book.
The scenes were more than simply interesting, they had a really background and I could see that, although it was all funny and filled in humor, there is something more serious underneath it all. Maybe a really cool fight down the road (I hope) since I had a good time the last time it happened in story.
In terms of the art, it still keeps the what we have come to expect, but this doesn’t really surprise me. It looks pretty cool, we all will agree with that, but I’m still trying to get used to it for some reason. I don’t think this will mean a problem for anyone but me, but I guess I can’t help but say it anyway as some people may not be fans of it.
there is not a lot of contrast this time, so the pages sometimes look really simple if it wasn’t for the lettering, which is colorful and striking. The different fonts that we see, despite being hard to read at first, look good and almost had their own highlight once or twice (not sure if this was they wanted, but it works for me.)
And I also have to say that I completely fell in love with Archer’s meditation page. It was all I like connected with the artistic style of this series, and it’s one of those pages you want to have without the letters so you can print it as a poster for your room. The people over at Valiant should consider selling that!
About the preview we have at the end of this issue, I’m not entirely sold on it. It really seems in the style of one of these modern cartoons that I hate seeing, but I’ll give it a chance, since the idea is great in a weird sort of way. Read it and you’ll see what I’m talkingabout.
I already know that humor based comics are not my forte, but I must say I’m having a really good time with The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong. I’m comfortable telling everyone to give “A & A: The Adventures of Archer and Armstrong” a chance, even if you’re not a usual reader of the genre. I know you won’t regret it!
