New York Comic Con News:  At the NYCC Valiant Entertainment announced the return of the creative team of Christopher Priest and Mark Bright, who will be back for a five-issue miniseries featuring their groundbreaking "world’s worst superhero team" of Quantum & Woody, which Priest and Bright has created in the 1990s for Valiant/Acclaim.  

Last summer Valiant relaunched Quantum and Woody with a new creative team led by writer James Asmus (see "'Quantum and Woody' in July").  But fans who remembered the original longed for the return the idiosyncratic title’s creators, which is what they will get with Q2: The Return of Quantum and Woody, which takes up the original continuity of the title, but moves in 20 years in the future.
 
The original Quantum and Woody was to mainstream superhero comics what Maverick was to Golden Age TV westerns, a sly somewhat subversive take on the genre that prized humor above all.  It wasn’t a humor comic per se, but it was quirky, funny, and above all different.  Priest and Bright plan to recapture that tone in Q2: The Return of Quantum and Woody, which will take place 20 years after the end of the Acclaim series with the characters showing some signs of age.  Although the duo has managed to slip out of their wristbands and finally get away from each other, a major event draws them back together in to a saga that has no continuity ties to the current Valiant Quantum and Woody comic by Asmus and artist Ming Doyle.
