10,000
years ago Ivar used the Boon to resurrect his youngest brother Gilad against
his other brother’s wishes. The world was destroyed and the Boon was hidden by
Armstrong who was one of the three brothers. The secret society known as the
Sect has raised Archer to find and kill Armstrong as they plan to assemble the
Boon.
Archer
& Armstrong deal with the One Percent in New York
and ninja nuns in Rome
who are the daughters of Lilith. Meanwhile the Sect has sent its children all
over the world to collect the pieces of the Boon. Archer runs into his once
ally Mary-Maria who steals a piece of the Boon before escaping.
Archer
& Armstrong head out to find their next piece however the Boon has been
assembled by a group of Nazi lamas. We discover it was the Boon that granted
the three brothers immortality and why everyone is after it. The Boon takes
away life from others and gave it to the three brothers and now the cycle is
about to begin again. Ivar has been the one guiding Archer to his destiny of
destroying the Boon.
The Sect
has captured a Geomancer however he dies after the Boon was destroyed. Now the
Eternal Warrior is out to kill both Archer and Armstrong unless the next
Geomancer can appease him. A strong relaunch of the series with mystery and
intrigue which is missing in much of the DC and Marvel Comics books. A very
well thought out first arc which builds towards the second.
