THE WORLD’S WORST SUPERHERO TEAM RETURNS IN AN EXPLOSIVE NEW ONGOING SERIES!

This December, deeply alarming and untrustworthy writer Daniel Kibblesmith (The Late Show with Stephen Colbert) and eye-popping artist Kano (Daredevil) give the Valiant Universe the adjective-worthy superheroes it deserves: QUANTUM AND WOODY!

Sometimes…you embrace your destiny. And sometimes…you and your troublemaking adopted brother find yourselves trapped in a scientific lab explosion that grants you $@&%ing awesome superpowers. As a result of their accident, Eric and Woody Henderson – aka Quantum and Woody – must “klang” their wristbands together every 24 hours or both dissipate into nothingness. Which makes superhero-ing pretty awkward when you’re not on speaking terms at the moment. See, Eric has been keeping a pretty big secret: He knows who Woody’s birth father really is…and where he’s been hiding all these years.

With great power comes great sibling rivalry! This winter, you’ll believe two men and one goat can split a one bedroom apartment and still be a credible threat to evil and injustice everywhere when QUANTUM AND WOODY make headlines and take names!

Synopsis[]

This article does not have a synopsis recorded yet.

Notes[]

  • There are four different versions of the "Extreme Ultra-Foil" Cover B with four different backgrounds: a) gradient, b) circles, c) fireworks, and d) bird's eye view. The 1:20 Retailer Incentive "Extreme Ultra-Foil Chase" Cover is a variant of a) with a more colorful gradient background. The four variants were distributed unevenly: a) and b) could be scored for just ordering the regular COVER B while c) and d) were only distributed to retailers who had ordered a copy of the 1:20 incentive; the ratio for 1 incentive copy was roughly...
    • 7-9 copies of a)
    • 7-9 copies of b)
    • 1-2 copies of c) – more likely 2
    • 1-2 copies of d) – more likely just 1
  • For further madness some FOIL covers were produced with an EMBOSSED ERROR logo section.
  • The retailer blurb for the 1:20 was "2017: Buckle up, because comic book stores participating in Valiant's EXTREME ULTRA-FOIL offering for QUANTUM AND WOODY! (2017) #1 will receive a mixed assortment of copies manufactured with vintage materials reclaimed from the following five foil-tastic comics classics:"
    • "Primordial Prism" foil (originally presented on WildC.A.T.s #2, 1992)
    • "Fantastic Fireworks" foil (originally presented on Adventures of Superman #505, 1993)
    • "Sensational Circuit Board" foil (originally presented on Uncanny X-Men #316, 1994)
    • "My God, It's Full of Stars" foil (originally presented on The Warlock Chronicles #1, 1993)
    • "Psychedelic Silver" foil (originally presented on Silver Surfer #75, 1992)
  • Second Printing cover: Only 1 copy was ever printed of the Second Printing cover. [1] It was auctioned (and sold for $1.600) by the Comic Book Legal Defense Fund (CBLDF) to "further the CBLDF’s ongoing mission to protect the First Amendment and the freedom to read."
  • The "Meme Cover" by Kano is a homage to the "Batman slaps Robin" panel in World's Finest (Volume 1) #153 (1965); see "My Parents Are Dead" meme. The meme covers (for issues #1-4) were only made available at a few exclusive comic book stores.
    • Additional retailer blurb: "Hey you, internet dweller! Odds are you’ve probably seen quite a few memes in your time – now, get ready to spot them IRL with the advent of the Quantum and Woody (2017) #1-4 Retailer Exclusive Meme Variants! For the first time anywhere, Valiant is offering qualifying retailers to get in on the dumbing down of America’s youth with piping hot homages to the internet’s most retweeted pieces of anonymous content – remade and reshaped in the vainglorious image of the world’s worst superhero team by artists Kano, Mike Norton, Tom Fowler, and Jen Bartel!"
  • The "SDCC Bling Bag Edition" featured one of three exclusive advance releases: Retailer Editions of Bloodshot Salvation #1 or Quantum and Woody #1, or a Ninja-K #1 Draft.[2]
  • Beware the goat! The "Shared Retailer Exclusive Cover" by Mike Rooth is a homage to the movie poster for Jaws. It was made available at Gotham Central Comics & Collectibles, Hip Hopf Comics, and Sad Lemon Comics (UK).

Most Variant Cover[]

Clayton Henry's variant cover not only is a 1:250 Retailer Incentive but each copy is truly unique with each cover featuring a sticker of a random fourth Valiant hero besides Quantum & Woody, and the goat – making it "the Most Variant Cover of All Time!" Each copy is also numbered "1/1" on the back. Some promotional copies do not feature an additional fourth character.
