The Russo Brothers to Produce Valiant’s Quantum and Woody

Posted on by

It’s being reported that the Russo Brothers will be tackling another comic property once their work on The Avengers: Infinity War wraps up. The project based on Quantum and Woody sounds like it’ll be a television project according to The Wrap who first reported the news.

The comic series is about the “world’s worst super-duo” is published by Valiant Entertainment but created by Christopher Priest and MD Bright and first published in 1997 and ran until 1998 with another short run in late 1999 and early 2000. A second volume launched in 2013.

Anthony and Joe Russo, Mike Larocca, and Dinesh Shamdasani will executive produce the series. Andrew Barrer and Gabriel Ferrari will script the pilot and also executive produce. The duo are behind Marvel’s Ant-Man and it’s sequel Ant-Man and the Wasp.

This is the latest live-action project based on Valiant properties. The comic company is working with Sony and screenwriter Eric Heisserer on films based on Harbinger and Bloodshot. Feature films based on Archer & Armstrong and Shadowman are also being worked on. The company also announced a live action project Ninjak vs the Valiant Universe at New York Comic Con in 2016. The webseries is being produced with Bat in the Sun Productions.

Quantum and Woody is about interracial brothers who are given superpowers after a lab accident and must deal with the murder of their father. One’s straightlaced and the other is a complete screw-up and together the series and characters are a fantastic mix of spandex superheroes and comedy.

Heroes aren’t born…they’re built. Brought back from the dead and infused with cutting-edge nanotechnology, the walking weapon of mass destruction now known as Bloodshot has escaped his handlers at Project Rising Spirit and vowed to bring war down up his masters…but first he’ll have to figure out where the programming ends and the real “him” begins.

• QUANTUM AND WOODY #1 by James Asmus & Tom Fowler

KLANG! 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.

• RAI #1 by Matt Kindt & Clayton Crain

Japan in the 41st century! The year is 4001 A.D. – led by the artificial intelligence called “Father,” the island nation of Japan has expanded out of the Pacific and into geosynchronous orbit with the ravaged Earth below.

Q2: The Return of Quantum and Woody and The Complete Quantum and Woody Classic Omnibus, this October from Valiant

Posted on by

Valiant has announced the release date for Q2: The Return of Quantum and Woody #1 (of 5) which will be on October 15th – the FIRST ISSUE of an all-new new mini-series reuniting legendary creators Christopher Priest and M.D. Bright with the world’s worst superhero team!

Set in the original series continuity, 20 years on from Quantum and Woody’s last adventure, Q2 marks the beginning of an all-new chapter for one of the most acclaimed series and creative teams of the last two decades.

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?

Also hitting stores alongside Q2‘s first issue on October 15th, Priest and Bright’s seminal run on Quantum and Woody’s original series will be collected in its entirety for the first time anywhere in The Complete Quantum and Woody Classic Omnibus!

The first in a new line of oversized hardcover omnibuses re-presenting the most demanded series and runs from the Valiant archives, The Complete Quantum and Woody Classic Omnibus hardcover will collect Quantum and Woody (1997) #0–21 and #32, The Goat: H.A.E.D.U.S. #1, and X-O Manowar (1996) #16 (guest-starring Quantum and Woody), the original backup stories from the Quantum and Woody trade paperback collections, and the never-before-collected story “Thunk” – plus a wealth of rarely seen sketches, character design, process art and promotional materials!

Graphic Policy’s Top Comic Picks this Week!

Posted on by

bigtrouble_01_coveraWednesdays are new comic book day! Each week hundreds of comics are released, and that can be pretty daunting to go over and choose what to buy. That’s where we come in. Below are ten suggestions of comics, graphic novels, or trade paperbacks you should spend some extra time checking out.

Top Pick: Big Trouble in Little China #1 (BOOM! Studios) – Jack Burton is back…. in comic form! Based on the cult movie, Eric Powell and John Carpenter are bringing us more adventures, something I’ve wanted for a long time.

Afterlife With Archive Vol. 1: Escape From Riverdale (Archie Comics) – Talk about a fantastic series. If you missed the individual issues, you can now catch them all in this handy trade. Archie took a chance when it decided to make a mature Archie comic featuring zombies. But, after reading the first issue any doubts were washed away. One of our favorite series.

Caliban #3 (Avatar Press) – Garth Ennis does horror in space. Creepy, and fun…. in a weird way.

Nailbiter #2 (Image Comics) – The first issue left us wanting more. This series looks into why so many serial killers originate from one town, and why the person investigating that question has gone missing.

Quantum & Woody #11 (Valiant Entertainment) – One of the funniest, and most entertaining, super hero comics on the market.

Revelations #6 (BOOM! Studios) – It’s murder at the Vatican in this detective story. This issue wraps it all up and we have a better idea who committed the murder.

Rise of the Magi #1 (Top Cow) – A new series from Top Cow. The look is awesome and concept very cool.

Super Ego HC (Magnetic Press) – What’s it like to be the shrink to the heroes?

Superior Foes of Spider-Man #12 (Marvel) – One of Marvel’s best comics. This one follows Spider-Mans C list villains. Every issue has been fantastic.

The Wake #9 (DC Comics/Vertigo) – The second volume jumped ahead a few years, but is no less awesome. From Scott Snyder and Sean Murphy, welcome to this very different world.
