Valiant is proud to announce that Christopher Priest and
M.D. Bright, the acclaimed creators of Quantum and Woody, will reunite for Q2:
The Return of Quantum and Woody – an all-new, five-issue mini-series bringing
the original world's worst superhero team into the 21st century!
Set wholly in the original continuity of Priest and
Bright's groundbreaking Acclaim Comics series, the new mini – which represents
the return of both creators to monthly comics – will pick up in the modern day,
launching an older Quantum and Woody into an all-new adventure set 20 years
after the events of their original series.
“Soon as Doc and I started hashing out the plotline, we
got into a huge argument. It was just like old times. Happy to be back on the
goat,” said Priest.
"It's enormously exciting to have Priest and Doc
return to the iconic characters they made famous," said Valiant Executive
Editor Warren Simons. "Over the years, the legend of the original series
has only grown, and they're about to unleash a fearless new chapter in the
lives of Quantum and Woody."
Whatever happened to the world's worst superhero team?
Twenty years past their prime, the unlikely crime-fighting duo known as Quantum
and Woody have long since parted ways and retired…until a middle-aged Quantum
suddenly reappears with a brand-new teenage partner—and his wisecracking
ex-best friend gets mad. Now Woody is out to break up the all-new,
all-different Quantum and Woody and put an end to Quantum's recklessness and
child endangerment…just as Quantum sets out to bring down a shadowy,
globe-spanning agency of freelance spies and assassins. As Quantum's plan
crumbles right through Woody's fingers, will the 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?
