Archer & Armstrong return this Wednesday, August 8

Valiant continues to reintroduce its most popular titles this week with the release of Archer & Armstrong #1 by the bestselling creative team of Fred Van Lente and Clayton Henry. Archer is a talented martial artist and marksman that was raised by a religious cult, has twenty two brothers and sisters, and believes in his righteous mission to destroy evil. Armstrong is 10,000 year old immortal that likes to drink and happens to be the target of Archer's current assignment. It is that assignment that brings this odd couple together for an unlikely alliance that uncovers a century-old conspiracy. Sounds like fun, right? Fans of the original series will love the new, yet faithful, take on the characters, and new readers will be happy to know that they can jump right in and have a blast. Don't miss the next step for one of Valiant's most talked about original series.

Marvel's smooth talking, Ragin' Cajun with an impeccable sense of style and a taste for what isn't his returns in the new ongoing Gambit series by James Asmus and Clay Mann. Remy LeBeau has gone from pickpocket to hero to teacher at Wolverine's newly reopened school, but how did this all happen? That's exactly what Gambit asks himself in his new series. And as quick as he begins to wonder where these changes happened, he decides to have a little fun at the expense of the rich at a fundraiser being held by a man who may turn out not to be what he seems. Fans of old school Gambit won't want to miss this book.

That's not all from Marvel! Those looking to get their weekly dose of Avengers fighting X-Men need to look no further than New Avengers # 29 by Bendis and Deodato. The Illuminati have long been working behind the scenes to protect the universe from the many threats that have presented themselves, but they have never been able to stop the Phoenix. However, they will meet once more in an attempt to stop what they have never overcome before. In Wolverine #311 by Loeb and Bianchi, Sabertooth is back, or should I say Sabertooths? Which one is the real deal, where has he been, and what has he been up to? Find out! Bendis and Pichelli's hit mini-series Spider-Men continues with the release of its fourth issue. Can Peter Parker and Miles Morales join together to defeat Mysterio? And can Peter face the family he never had? If two Spider-Mans aren't enough, check out Sensational Spider-Man #33.1 by Tom Defalco and Carlo Barberi, a book that celebrates 50 years of web-slinging by picking up where the series left off.

The secret society of assassins that have existed since the dawn of Gotham City have finally been stopped (for now) by Batman, but what's next? In Scott Snyder's Batman #12, witness the epilogue to the pulse-pounding "The Court Of Owls" and witness the beginning of the next great storyline. Then, in Batman and Robin #12, father and son take one final stand against Terminus! For even more action, check out Suicide Squad #12 by Adam Glass and Fernando Dagnino. As Basilisk comes after Amanda Waller, the Squad's traitor is finally revealed! And don't forget Before Watchmen: Ozymandias #2 by Len Wein and Jae Lee with the "Crimson Corsair" backup story by Wein and John Higgins.

Bryan Lee O'malley's epic story of love, life, and beating up ex-boyfriends returns in full color! The Scott Pilgrim Color Hc Vol 01: Precious Little Life represents the amazing first volume of the story in a full color, remastered, 6"x9" hardcover with extras and bonus material never seen before. For those looking to read the series for the first time or Scottaholics looking for more, this new edition of O'malley's work is for you!
