-- Woody

Solicitation[]

The most demanded return in comics is finally here! The original Quantum and Woody are back! Legendary creators Christopher Priest and M.D. Bright return to one of the most acclaimed series of the modern era for an all-new mini-series event!

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?

Notes[]

This story takes place in the Acclaim Comics' continuity of the Valiant Universe as if Acclaim Comics never ceased to exist thus the original Quantum and Woody are very old men now. The index page states "Quantum and Woody grew up together. They were friends. They became superheroes. And they never failed to drive each other nuts."
The inside cover (on the first page) is a reprint of the original cover for Quantum and Woody #1 (June, 1997).

Quotes[]

Quantum and Woody grew up together. They were friends. They became superheroes. And they never failed to drive each other nuts.

-- Premise

No. Just figured if I kept repeating "not what Steinbeck meant," there would inevitably be less book chat and more wet tee shirts -- which, per God's plan, leads to nipplege.

-- Woody

I'm jealous if Eric's johnson. The myth is true.

-- Woody

Eric, you idiot! You're way too old for this crap--!!
