This week Valiant brings back “the world’s worst superhero team!” Quantum & Woody return to the Valiant Universe in a new ongoing series by James Asmus (Gambit, Thief of Thieves, Captain America & Bucky) and artist Tom Fowler (Venom, Hulk: Season One.)
Here’s what you need to know about the infamous odd couple:
“Once upon a time, Eric and Woody Henderson were inseparable. Adopted brothers. Best friends. Brilliant minds. Years later, they are estranged siblings, petty rivals, and washed-up failures. But when their father’s murder leads them into the throes of a life-altering scientific accident, Eric and Woody will find themselves with a whole new purpose – and a perfectly legitimate reason to wear costumes and fight crime.”
“Quantum and Woody are one of the most beloved superhero duos in comics. There’s a rich history to draw on here and we have some very exciting things on deck for Quantum and Woody in 2013 and beyond,” said Valiant Executive Editor Warren Simons.
Launched by Christopher Priest and M.D. Bright for the rebooted Valiant Universe in 1997, Quantum and Woody became one of the most beloved independent superhero titles of the decade. Valiant Entertainment re-issued the entirety of the original series for the first time digitally via comiXology.
“In all of comics, there’s no other book that mixed style and substance quite like Quantum and Woody. I was willing to literally kill someone for the chance to write the relaunch for the new Valiant Universe. I might have. Those first days after I got the call are a blur. But Quantum and Woody isn’t (just) a superhero book – it’s action-comedy, it’s family drama, it’s a boys-meet-goat tale that tugs at the heartstrings,” said writer James Asmus.
Quantum & Woody #1 arrives Wednesday.
