Archer & Armstrong Vol. 1: The Michelangelo Code

Valiant Comics is like a clean slate that hasn't been bogged down in history & convoluted storylines.  Now I know this is a comic company that has risen from the ashes of the their demise in the late 90s, but for me as a reader this is fresh & new.  I have been hearing great things about Valiant for years & I am just now getting around to reading some of the titles.  Archer & Armstrong is a title that's part Lethal Weapon meets Indiana Jones meets The Da Vinci Code, which they even make fun of.  I really like the fact that Valiant is doing short story-arcs in single volumes if it had been longer I am sure it would still have been enjoyable but at the same time it could slowed & become monotonous.  One things that suffers with this method though is characterization not of the main characters but of secondary or tertiary characters & even villains.  Overall this was a good opening arc but I can see how some people would be turned off by this especially those offended by The Da Vinci Code.
