Archer & Armstrong meet Bloodshot and the H.A.R.D. Corps in Mission:Improbable

The new storyline kicks off in Archer & Armstrong #18 as Project Rising Spirit targets the pair of globetrotting heroes for extermination.

Valiant is proud to present an advance preview of Archer & Armstrong #18 – the FIRST ISSUE of MISSION: IMPROBABLE, a four-part smash-up colliding Valiant’s conspiracy-smashing thrill-seekers against the twin threats of Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps! From New York Times best-selling writer Fred Van Lente (Marvel Zombies) and red-hot artist Pere Perez (Harbinger Wars), start reading here on March 5th when two teams of daredevil powerhouses begin an improbable mission with impossible odds!

Archer & Armstrong have been targeted for elimination by Project Rising Spirit’s most elite kill crew. (G-G-GULP!) Their mission? Assassinate the the newly appointed leader of a homegrown fundamentalist terror sect named…Obadiah Archer?! And if they could take out his mentally ill, alcoholic bodyguard who just happens to think he’s a 10,000-year-old immortal, that’d be swell too! Hot on the heels of today’s Archer & Armstrong: Archer #0, the showdown of the year begins right here on March 5th!

Then, the next bullet-dodging chapter of MISSION: IMPROBABLE arrives one week later on March 12th with Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps #20 from acclaimed writers Christos Gage (Superior Spider-Man) & Joshua Dysart (Harbinger) and legendary artist Tom Raney (Ultimate X-Men)!

With each issue featuring a new interlocking Pullbox Exclusive Variant for comic shop subscribers by artist Jorge Molina (X-Men), don’t miss a perfect a jumping-on point for two of the most over-the-top action books on the stands when MISSION: IMPROBABLE kicks down the doors of Archer & Armstrong #18 and Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps #20 – in comic shops everywhere this March!

Well this should be a fun one. Archer and his immortal buddy Armstrong probably aren’t exactly what Bloodshot and his crew are expecting to find in a ‘fundamentalist’ leader and his bodyguard. I have to say though, as a reader of the book on a regular basis, I love that description of Armstrong. Of course, he actually is an immortal. One who really doesn’t dig people (enhanced or no) trying to kill his friends.

Watching Bloodshot go toe-to-toe with him is probably worth the price of admission alone. Check out Archer & Armstrong #18 and the first round of Mission: Improbable when it hits the stands on March 5th, then grab the counting story’s next installment when Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps #20 arrives on March 12th. The action picks up again in April when Archer & Armstrong #19 and Bloodshot and H.A.R.D. Corps #21 arrive- all from Valiant Comics.
