When most people go on a journey, they bring back a souvenir…but most people usually stick to t-shirts and keychains, not unearthly creatures like the ones Quantum and Woody brought back from the “Otherverse”! Now, a giant monster is wreaking havoc on Washington D.C., and another anomaly – known only as “The Screaming Man” – is slowly getting acquainted with our reality. Is the world’s worst superhero team going to do anything about it? Hopefully, or this would be a really weird comic!

I have really been enjoying Quantum And Woody since Eliot Rahal took over the scripting duties on the comic, and it wouldn’t be too far of a stretch to say that this has become one of my most antcipated comics each month.

This issue has the brothers facing off against what is basically Godzilla, and as they aren’t exactly the biggest powerhouses in the Valiant universe we get some inventive uses of their powers as they come to save the day. It’s moments like these that Rahal shines; he isn’t writing in way that tries to be funny (or at least it doesn’t come across that way), but rather he’s got an effortless way of bringing humour into the book without ever making it the focal point – but that won’t stop you from having a good chuckle all the way through. Quantum And Woody #10 captures the essence of a what we remember early Marvel comics to be; fun, with decidedly subtle (or not so subtle) undertones that you may or may not pick up on.

Rahal questions reality in this book, and how one’s perspectives can change based on what you are and are not aware of. And he does this while showing that even the worst of us can be heroes, no matter who writes you off as useless – which seems to be an underlying theme of the series since Rahal has taken over. Maybe that’s why I love this issue so much, or maybe I’m over thinking things. I suppose it depends on my perspective, eh?
