Free Comic Book Day Special 2022: A Treasure Trove of Valiant Goodness

 


I just thought I'd remind you that Valiant's Free Comic Book Day Special is still out there. And boy: is it substantial! In case you haven't got your hands on a copy, I thought I'd share a little of what's inside.

First up, there's a new short story featuring Bloodshot. Is it be part of a larger issue, or a standalone? Either way, it's totally new.



There's also a short Archer & Armstrong story. This one appears to take place directly after the new Archer & Armstrong #1. Not only will you find it entertaining, but it suggests the series' direction: a kind-of quasi-religious scavenger hunt. 

While he searches for clues to what's wrong with his friend, Archer also keep up a dialogue with Faith. Along with the dynamic duo's search for a way to restore Armstrong's absent appendage, I'm looking forward to seeing how Archer's relationship with Faith progresses.

Will Faith appear later on in this series? I guess we'll have to wait to find out.



There's also a preview of Ninjak's new look. I expect to see him battling lots more would-be superbaddies in his upcoming series.



Additionally, the FCBD Special includes the preview pages from Armorclads #1. So if you've been hiding under a rock somewhere for the last few months, you're in for a terrific surprise. 

Recently, Valiant released this terrific view of Armorclads #3 Cover A without the series logo and credits. So if you're looking for new wallpaper for your cellphone...

 

 

Valiant's Free Comic Book Day 2022 Special is a substantial read. Make sure you pick up your copy the next time you visit your local comic shop!
