Archer and Armstrong Issue 6 review

It's Jeremias and we're back yet again with a new issue of Archer and Armstrong. We hit a heck of a high with the previous issue getting the first ever perfect score I gave out, does it stay at that high level or has the story dipped? Let's find out shall we?


Story

The Geomancer someone who is able to speak to the earth died and Armstrong's brother the man known as the Eternal Warrior is out for revenge against him and Archer. They were able to slow down the Eternal Warrior and are now on the search for the new Geomancer. During this the new Geomancer is starting to awaken.

The story is starting to get ramped up more with learning of even more conspiracies and people who are connected to the same thing that Archer's parents were connected to. We also learn more of just how dogged the Eternal Warrior is. All of this story is not wasted in learning more about something. Either it is about the world the comic takes place in, or the characters you won't be feeling like it was a wasted read at all.

Art

The art looks really sleek. It seems to have stepped up from the previous issue with the way the characters are drawn. Especially their facial features, one page that shows Armstrong going through different emotions has his face drawn showing each emotion perfectly.  The character's motions are much more human like and fluid in this issue as well. They seem more believable when doing various actions. This art is fantastic and tells the story as much as the writing does.



Verdict

The dialog in this comic is fantastic, the art is fantastic the story is fantastic. You get the drift? It has a serious storyline but the comedic parts break it up nicely and are done perfectly. If you don't at least chuckle at this comic you might want to get yourself checked into the hospital and have your head checked. I give this comic an unprecedented second 10 out of 10
