What secrets await inside the Vault of Spirits?

Deep beneath New York City’s seediest dive bar, Armstrong – the hard-hitting, harder-partying immortal veteran of history’s greatest escapades – is hosting an invitation-only affair for his most beloved friends and allies! Archer… Ivar, Timewalker… Faith… Quantum and Woody… And special guests from across the Valiant Universe… All have been offered a seat at the table for a personally guided tour of Armstrong’s most valuable and tightly guarded treasure… From the Great Flood to ancient Greece to the height of the Crusades, raise a glass as Armstrong recounts the true stories of his wine-soaked path down through the ages and the artifacts that reside within his own secret archive!

ARCHER & ARMSTRONG maestro Fred Van Lente returns with rising star CAFU (RAPTURE) to chronicle the first landmark solo adventure in the very (very, very) long life and times of Valiant’s very own disorderly immortal!

Notes[]

Vitae summa brevis spem nos vetat incohare longam.

("The brief sum of life forbids us the hope of enduring long." by Horace)

They are not long, the weeping and the laughter,
Love and desire and hate;
I think they have no portion in us after
We pass the gate.

They are not long, the days of wine and roses,
Out of a misty dream
Our path emerges for a while, then closes

Within a dream.

Quotes[]

And they said I was hearing things! You know what I don't hear now? Those idiots blabbing at me! 'cause they're dead! HAH!
-- Noah
No one will miss the unicorn! They were untamable, and always getting into the crops! There's a reason they were known as "hoofed vermin!"
-- Noah
Schist, kid, I said schist. It's my favorite metamorphic rock.
-- Armstrong
It was my mother's favorite excuse to give me a paddling! -- And then an exorcism.
-- Archer
Dump?! You got no taste, Eric. All quality drinkeries smell vaguely of urine and mop water...
-- Woody
You, uh... you seem upset, big bro. Did I...do something bad to you the last time we met? Our meetings never really happen in linear order so it's hard to know...
-- Armstrong
Hardly, Herbert. History likes to pretend it's science but really it's a game of telephone, stories getting screwed up a little bit with each retelling 'til by the time it gets to us it's mostly B.S.! The cataclysm wasn't a flood of water or nothin'... and Noah was one of the luckiest guys who ever lived, with a weird animal fetish. Let me tell you--
-- Armstrong
I will not hear any of this blasphemy! You were half-drunk through history, so I can't believe anything you say anyway!
-- Archer
Our brother Gilad is undergoing one of his periodic spates of death, otherwise he would be here and I'd have to keep those two from killing each other. So... there's nothing to distract me from what I've lost. And I'll never get back. No matter how hard I try.
-- Ivar, Timewalker
What I think, Obadiah, is you have not lived long enough for Aram to let you down. So I would strongly suggest you quit this partnership before he gets the chance.
-- Ivar, Timewalker
I knew it! I knew villains would find this high concentration of heroism irresistible! This is like a two-in-one annual fight! Come at me, bros!
-- Faith
Seriously, Aram?!
-- Ivar, Timewalker
Absolutely! I am only unintentionally hilarious!
-- Armstrong
Man. I know the world is swimming with douchebags...why do I have to be a magnet for them?!
-- Armstrong
They are not long, the weeping and the laughter...love and desire and hate. I think they have no portion in us after we pass the gate--
-- Armstrong
They are not long, the days of wine and roses...out of a misty dream our path emerges for a while, then closes...with a dream.
-- Ivar, Timewalker
Thanks for this, baby brother.
-- Ivar, Timewalker
I have my moments.
-- Armstrong
