"I've gotten to know the Valiant folks over the past year, and they are really a great bunch of guys. Really good people with a genuine enthusiasm for comics and a desire to create a strong, smart, unique superhero universe. It's been a real pleasure getting to know them and, now, getting to work with them.
"I'd been a longtime 'Quantum and Woody' fan, so I was on board with that one from the get-go. But in the last year or so I've met a lot of Valiant creators -- Josh Dysart, who is like a much older, less good-looking version of myself; James Asmus, who is almost as funny as he thinks he is; and Fred Van Lente, who despite his obvious physical and hygienic shortcomings, is a damn fine writer. Plus, my best buddy David Baron has been coloring for Valiant, and continually sings their praises. I started picking up more and more of their books to see what the fuss was about. And I was never let down, always pleasantly surprised. It's a diverse universe, and all of it is super high-quality stuff.
"'Archer & Armstrong' is absolutely fantastic, and I'm stoked to be part of this landmark issue. I really love the entire vibe of the book – a buddy action comedy, full of conspiracy and history, and then injected with just pure fantastic gonzo madness. I love books where you can tell the creator is having a good time, because it's infectious. I'm recommending 'Archer & Armstrong' to anybody who likes fun comics.
"I still want to do a Quantum and Woody/Chew and a Poyo/Goat crossover. It's just a matter of getting off my lazy ass and making it happen."
