I enjoyed the first Quantum and Woody trade about as much as I’d expected to. I love Christopher Priest’s writing, but I also knew that the comic would be a product of its time, full of dated pop culture references and a 90s mentality.
Eric (Quantum) and Woody are interesting characters. Eric has military training, a sharp mind, and a real desire to do good in the world. Woody is a slacker moron, who wants to do good as well, but whose extreme ADHD makes it difficult to remain focused on that goal for long. The two old friends are stuck together because they each wear a single control band – a large wristband, that if not ‘klanged’ together every twenty-four hours, will result in the two dematerializing. The bands also give them a semblance of super powers, so they have decided to work as heroes.
