Hope for more FVL and possibly Timewalker?

[lorddunlow]

So after reading Archer and Armstrong #22 and 23, I tweeted about my hopes that FVL would stay with VEI and possibly work on a Timewalker series. Dino just responded:

Just let him do more A&A! (Although it may be a case of he already told us the story he wants to tell)

A Timewalker series by FVL would be good.

Good job Dunlow .. I was starting to lose hope that FVL would be back with Valiant (after Delinquents) but this tweet from Dino is definitely giving me new hope

In regards to A&A continuing - Listening to Dysart on OTV and reading the tea leaves - The plan it seems for now and into 2015 is to move peices around in order to expand the line and give exposure to characters in different settings - keep things fresh and unpredictable .. hence Faith guest starring in Unity, EW in several different mini's, Bloodshot in Unity and then in The Valiant, A&A and Q&W in the Delinquents ..on and on ... So I think, for the moment, I feel like they will move Archer and Armstrong around a bit into different series - probably seperate them for a little while - until eventually relaunching the title down the line.
If FVL continues on with Valiant - Something Timewalker related - would make a lot of sense.

Sorry Dunlow, Dino's response is just far too ambiguous and non-descript for me to possibly be able to garner anything from it whatsoever, other than he's acknowledged your suggestion

[Keith]

You and I are on the same wavelength, Dunlow. I had sent a similar tweet, and Dino responded even more vague than his response back to you.

Copied you on my tweet back.

Timewalker would be cool by FVL.

I can but hope.

Spoke with Clayton Henry at heroes con about Fred leaving A&A and what was next? He said he couldn't officially talk about it, asked about Timewalker and he smiled said something like that. Hopefully his drawing it

Fred's love og history is perfect for that title.

[Peter]

Please let it be so.

Besides the regular Timewalker tales, I used to love seeing the meet ups between Ivar, Aram, and Gilad during the different time periods, though-out the centuries.

I really think FVL would be perfect for this, as I not only love his storytelling but also his humour.

Bring it on and take my money

Agreed - would love to see him on a Timewalker series.

Further fuel for the fire... this time from the man himself. In a tweet responding to a fan about him doing more Valiant work, FVL replied:

Code: Select all

Time will tell...

Get it

Time

God, I hope so. I love FVL. I've followed almost everything he's written from Incredible Herc to A&A to Brain Boy. He's one of my favorite writers and he made me love Archer & Armstrong: a book I really never cared for the first time around (feel free to stone me VH1 fans). He'd be great on a Timewalker book and VEI would be crazy not to have him writing something for them, even if it is just a miniseries.

I've felt like this for a while. Market it right with the Doctor Who fans and you'd have some good sales.

In one of FVL's Brain Boy issues, he notes after reading some woman's mind and discovering she's a Doctor Who fan that she's the future Mrs. Brain Boy (or whatever his real name is). I though that might have been a little bit of a personal touch on FVL's part.

[jmatt]

Can't wait!

[Peter]

So Happy about this, please be true.

Totally agree. If he is still on board/interested in writing for Valiant, they really should give him a project if A&A is no longer in the cards. Again I say, Timewalker would be a fantastic choice, I'd love to see it.

i don't know, i didn't ever really got into his writing. it's not bad and he clearly has a sense for plot and rhythm. but the story content always seems a bit generic and the tongue-in-cheek dialogue feels forced a bit too often. i think some a&a issues were pretty nice and the characters played to his strengths. but for ivar i'd love to see a more epic take by dysart or lemire.

I think Fred would be great. His Ivar when we've seen him is a much different personality than his brothers and during the Faraway arc clearly had other motives and a much darker secret he'd been keeping. I think with the last arc of Archer and Armstrong he's also shown he could work with paradoxes which to me are always a big thing to work with when doing time travels stories (I'm looking at you DC)

I spoke briefly with FVL at an event a few weeks ago. He said though he has completed his A&A run he is definitely not done with Valiant. He love the company and working for them, and looks forward to doing more with them in the future.
