Solicitation[]

Reunited…and it doesn’t feel so good!

After following Armstrong into the depths of his infinite satchel in a search for booze, Archer and his partner, history’s most inebriated immortal, have found themselves prisoners of…uh…what’s this villain’s name again? Armstrong may not be able to remember what their captor, Bacchus, is all about, but he sure is upset by the memories tied to a rare bottle of wine. What secret is about to come roaring out of the past to haunt him? And is Archer doomed to the repeat Armstrong’s tragic mistakes? Plus: It’s a day in the life of Valiant’s new breakout character of 2016 – hey kids, get ready for DAVEY THE MACKEREL!

Valiant’s latest blockbuster ongoing series goes even farther down the rabbit hole when “IN THE BAG” continues right here from rising star Rafer Roberts (Plastic Farm) and comic book superstar David Lafuente (Ultimate Spider-Man)!

Archer and Armstrong are hanging, trapped in the satchel, prisoners of the Trash Golems.

Outside the satchel, Mary-Maria is asking why it is taking so long for the Sisters of Perpetual Darkness to steal the satchel. A Monkey-Robot and Davey the Mackerel escape from the satchel. Mary Maria questions Davey as the sisters try to kill the Monkey-Robot. Oliver Dumpbucket escapes from the satchel.

When Davey tells Mary-Maria that Obadiah is in danger, she orders the rest of the sisters to protect the satchel as she enters it. Mary-Maria kills a Trash Golem upon entering the satchel.

Bacchus confronts Archer and Armstrong. Bacchus tells Archer how Armstrong threw him into the satchel three thousand years ago. Bacchus reveals his plan to trap Armstrong in the satchel for three thousand years. Archer and Armstrong make up while Bacchus pays tribute to the urine gods. Mary-Maria kills the Trash Goblins before she confronts Bacchus. As Bacchus tries to escape, Mary-Maria rescues a drunken Archer and Armstrong.
