As Valiant Entertainment continues to build its universe, it’s fun to see the arrival of old favorites once again – both in new form and the original works getting released. Valiant is doing just that in October with the debut of Q2: The Return Of Quantum & Woody, a five issue mini series that kicks off on October 15th, 2014. The book brings back the original team with Christopher Priest writing and M.D. Bright handling the artwork.
Interestingly, the series is set in the original series continuity, 20 years on from Quantum and Woody’s last adventure.
“As a longtime Quantum and Woody fan, this project is a dream come true, as is diving into the material and working with these amazingly talented creators,” said series editor Alejandro Arbona. “Getting in all-new scripts and all-new art of the new adventures of Eric Henderson and Woody Van Chelton is surreal. Quantum and Woody are back!”
In addition to that, fans that are new to it will be able to get their hands on the original work in a great way with a new oversized hardcover omnibus release of the original work with The Complete Quantum & Woody Omnibus.
“The first in a new line of oversized hardcover omnibuses re-presenting the most demanded series and runs from the Valiant archives, THE COMPLETE QUANTUM AND WOODY CLASSIC OMNIBUS hardcover will collect QUANTUM AND WOODY (1997) #0–21 and #32, THE GOAT: H.A.E.D.U.S. #1, and X-O MANOWAR (1996) #16 (guest-starring Quantum and Woody), the original backup stories from the QUANTUM AND WOODY trade paperback collections, and the never-before-collected story “Thunk” – plus a wealth of rarely seen sketches, character design, process art and promotional materials!”
Plot concept: Whatever happened to the world’s worst superhero team? Twenty years past their prime, the unlikely crime-fighting duo known as Quantum and Woody (not a couple) have long since parted ways…until a middle-aged Quantum suddenly reappears with a brand-new teenage partner. Now Woody is out to break up the all-new, all-different Quantum and Woody and put an end to Quantum’s recklessness…just as Quantum takes on a life-or-death personal mission for national security. Can these former friends set aside their differences…and their age…and their numerous health difficulties…to join forces one last time without driving each other crazy?
