When comic ledger supervillains , mad scientist , and homicidal atomic families attack , it ’s up toQuantum & Woodyto save the world . And start this January , the symbiotic superhero squad is back in action in a blade fresh serial as part of Valiant ’s raw 2020 card .
The novel serial comes from author Christopher Hastings ( Unbelievable Gwenpool ) and artist Ryan Browne ( Curse Words ) , promised to be a side - split superhero adventure . So far the creative team is teasing sequent kidnappers , a longtime mental capacity - monster enemy , and in the New preview page , even an assassination attack in Washington , D.C .. As if that were n’t enough , this relaunch bring with it a brand unexampled , more cryptical than ever great power for Woody . But these strange new gift of divination are far from grouped in our preview ofQuantum & Woody # 1 , which means getting the inner scoop from Hastings and Brown is more than welcome .
Screen Rant has an exclusive look at the the finished page force fromQuantum and Woody # 1 , and it wo n’t take long for rooter of the titulary heroes to see the nucleus of their identities are completely intact . Check out the preview pages along with new insight from the creative teambelow .
The smell and comedy is no surprise , since Hastings ' sense of humor ( on full display in his run on Marvel ’s Unbelievable Gwenpool ) has been cited as a cardinal factor in him land this assignment . yr of affection for Eric and Woody do n’t hurt either , nor does an artist like Ryan Browne who is up to the line of bringing truly ludicrous comedy ( Quantum ’s workout workaday being a prime example ) to life in direction to keep reader guessing . And if it was n’t clean already : yes , this book is absolutely supposed to be say between chuckles :
Christopher Hastings : I ’ve been a fan of Quantum and Woody since I was a teenager in the 90 , and getting to bring to that modern myth of the screwup superhero brothers is a aspiration . I ’ve also been a fan of Ryan Browne ’s for quite some time , and possibly even jealous of him ? Okay yes , definitely green-eyed of him . But now I do n’t have to be ! Because we are working on the same matter .
Ryan Browne : Chris has been doing what I do for longer and dependable so it ’s my principal goal to slip all his secrets . So far so good ! I also really really REALLY like dense history with a million joke per minute and these scripts deliver in that section .
Comedy wo n’t be the only defining feature of the serial , since a hero like Quantum demand a goodly helping of military action , as well . But the light timbre and entertain action should n’t distract from another major reason why the duo have resonated with so many Valiant readers over the years . Sibling heroes are hard to come by in comic than one might imagine , and when it get to sidekick partake in a career to become superheroes … well , Quantum and Woody are absolutely charting their own , one of a variety course , and that wo n’t be change anytime soon :
CH : Personally , I apprize something in my comic stack that consecrate me a fleck of comedic relief from the never ending melodrama of the rest of the superhero world . I also care a comic that withdraw the " rules " of a superhero story and flips them on their ear . I say comic should be fun , and Quantum and Woody are FUN . I also recollect their dynamic is really beautifully contrive that it can be treated seriously , or it can be played for joke just as easily . Two orphaned brothers that ca n’t remain firm each other , bound together with great power they barely bonk how to use ? That can be striking , nerve-wracking , painful , but it can also be ( and usually is ) hilarious without weaken any of the more grounded ingredient .
RB : Quantum and Woody work because of the family expression to our two goofs . The heart behind the tarradiddle really create the comedy sing – if Woody was only a jerk monster the consultation would n’t be invested in his well - being . There ’s a sweetness in their hatred of each other that make you keep reading .
As established and beloved as both Eric and Woody Henderson may be for live fan of Valiant , the raw al-Qur’an is also an opportunity to bring new reader into the series . And while the creators have confirmed the unexampled series will be continuing the duet ’s plot line from previous runs , they ’re making a direct effort to receive novel readers ( a move visible across several of Valiant ’s newest Book ) . Hastings admits it ’s a flimsy change of pace from the common laughable composition , since the emphasis is being place on deliver a comforting single egress that hold up up to its price shred . In other words , it ’s wise for fresh and existing fans to count on the new Quantum & Woody series to be all killer , no filler :
CH : We ’re deal the story arc(s ) a niggling act other than than how I ’ve save a comic serial before . There is a focus on each issue being a ego take episode , so they are fun and cheering read one by one , with enough of a through - line to enjoy the series as a whole as well . I bonk a smashing single exit comedian that does n’t needfully have to be part 1 of 10 , and there are so many different angle of Quantum and Woody ’s life story I wanted to research , shortsighted stories within a longer arc was very attractive to me . These are jammed comics .
Besides that , we ’re bringing in some interesting unexampled character kinetics for the duo too . There ’s the hyper - competent superhero mentor , THE APPREHENSION . There ’s a supervillain fellowship that represents the complete antonym of Quantum and Woody ’s break fraternal relationship . And the boys get a line new power hidden in their baron bands !
RB : Chris has compose screaming and super blotto script . No filler in these issue ! 100 % virtuous goof greatness ! I seek to visualise them as dependably as I can while add together my own detail and goofs to force them to AT LEAST 101 % pure goose greatness .
The full issuing will be launching the new serial on January 29th , 2020 . But for now , the first prevue ofQuantum and Woody # 1wastes little clip in tossing readers into their current dangerous undertaking . gratefully , Hastings and Browne have offer a minute of an explanation for what readers can see in the trailer , and how it will be bridging their previous position quo with the new news report . And rats . So many scab , you guy :
CH : The previous Quantum and Woody serial publication left off with the boy on the run from the authorities , and that seemed a fine place to set the status quo for our rule book moving forrard . So we see them in some squatter ’s apartment , not sure what to do next , when Woody presents his steel newfangled world power . Woody ’s evidence some new " prophet " like ability that gives him visions of the hereafter , but he can only pass on these visions so cryptically they might as well be useless .
We also take on the cheery Kammerjäger family of supervillains who are about to execute a mass character assassination scheme at the US Capitol building . And if Quantum and Woody can decipher Woody ’s imagination in time , block that scheme could be an splendid elbow room to get off the most wanted inclination .
RB : Yeah , what Chris say ! My biggest idea share to these first pages was that Quantum would unintentionally attract the attending of any beast around him . Vincent jazz him ! As do the rats on the page that follow … That ’s right , folks , you ’ve have rats to front forth to ! And fatbergs . It ’ll all not make gumption soon enough in the pages of Quantum and Woody and Vincent and Fatbergs .
Quantum & Woody # 1will arrive in your local comic book workshop on January 29th , 2020 . understand on below for the full credits and solicitations detail .
