Valiant teaser: World's Worst Teaser

They're not involved, as this press release I received this morning confirms.

JAMES ASMUS and TOM FOWLER Bring on QUANTUM AND WOODY #1 in July!

On July 10th, a new era begins for the world's worst superhero team in Quantum and Woody #1!

Valiant is proud to announce that award-winning writer James Asmus (Gambit, Thief of Thieves, Captain America & Bucky) and acclaimed artist Tom Fowler (Venom, Hulk: Season One) are bringing Valiant's first full-on superhero team back to the Valiant Universe with an all-new ongoing series beginning on July 10th in Quantum and Woody #1!

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. Go big or go home, folks! Quantum and Woody are coming! And the action-packed, zeitgeist-shredding exploitation stunt comic you demanded is here at last.

(And, yes, there will be a goat too. Eventually.)

"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.

"Since the day X-O Manowar #1 hit shelves, everywhere we've turned, fans have been demanding that Quantum and Woody step back into the spotlight," said Quantum and Woody Editor Jody LeHeup. "James, Tom and Jordie are delivering a smart, heart-filled take on the team that will be central to the new Valiant Universe, and one that honors the spirit and bravado of what came before."

Launched by Christopher Priest and M.D. Bright for Acclaim Entertainment's rebooted Valiant Universe in 1997, Quantum and Woody became one of the most beloved independent superhero titles of the decade, spawning a rabid and loyal following that endures to this day. Most recently, 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.

On July 10th, the Valiant Universe's most infamous duo enter the fray with writer James Asmus, artist Tom Fowler and colorist Jordie Bellaire in Quantum and Woody #1 – featuring a standard cover by Ryan Sook, a Pullbox Exclusive Variant by Marcos Martin for customers who pre-order with the their local retailer, an incentive variant by Andrew Robinson, and an interactive QR Voice Variant by Tom Fowler (with real talking goat action)!

The return of Quantum & Woody?
Travis Herrick (Modular Mod) March 22, 2013 at 10:16am

If so, I would only be interested in it if Priest is writing it, I might read it w/o MD Bright, but probably not.
Jeff of Earth-J March 22, 2013 at 10:27am

That's how I'm beginning to feel about the new Archer & Armsteong without Barry Windsor-Smith.

I'm betting it'll be the Priest/Bright team, though. Does either one currently have a series?
Travis Herrick (Modular Mod) March 22, 2013 at 11:21am

I know Priest doesn't. He has an interesting post on his website about his lack of comic work from September 2011 that I found real interesting.

I haven't seen Bright on anything recently either, but I can't say for certain on that front.
Rob Staeger (Grodd Mod) March 22, 2013 at 12:26pm

Yeah, I really hope it's by Priest & Bright; if so, mark me down for it!
Captain Comics March 23, 2013 at 11:03pm

I was never that big a fan of Bright's work -- it always seemed sorta generic to me. What made Q&W shine for me was the writing, so let me chime in with my hope that Valiant was smart enough to invite Mr. Priest back to his brainchild.

Surely Priest (and maybe Bright) own the property?
Travis Herrick (Modular Mod) March 25, 2013 at 11:43am

I don't think so. It sure doesn't seem that way. Otherwise I think you would have seen them pop up at Image, or Dark Horse, or something like that. If you believe Wikipedia (they have no ciataion to it) it was part of an auction in which Valiant Entertainment bought it and the others they are cranking out.

Bright's art always seemed really old-school comics -- that was always part of its appeal to me. Especially when paired with such a distinctive writer as Priest.

That said, it looks like they're not involved, and I'm likely to pass on this.
