Quantum & Woody #4 Discussion

[Dallow Spicer1]

Excellent end to the first arc! All the plus points already covered in earlier posts and I'll add my vote to the 'bring back Tom Fowler' chorus, it's a great combo with Asmus' writing!

This version of Q&W is far superior to the original, 3rd best book after XO and Harby!

4/5

Not a fan of this issue. It was just TOO goofy and jumbled for my tastes. Love the introduction of the goat. Everything was just resolved too neatly. Would have liked to see them escape the crone, and leave ERa looming out there. Wasn't a total disaster, but a notch or two below the first 3 issues.

I was reading down the posts and was worried I may be the only dissenting voice, so it is reassuring that I am not alone.

The series so far has felt chaotic to me, but that opinion may be alleviated when I re-read it as a whole arc. There seemed to be a lot thrown into the last issue without me feeling I got a lot out of the issue. And it may be that put simply, this take on Q&W may not be for me.

I am not a fan of the art - it removes it too far from the rest of the line for my tastes (and I recognise the prevailing view around here may be quite different on that), although art-wise #4 seemed the best issue so far.

As much as I love Archer & Armstrong, this book is probably the closest in intended tone, but it just has not matched A & A for enjoyment. It is also the least enjoyable of the line for me. I am just not hooked in the way other VEI titles have grabbed me, and #4 was no different, although the post it notes gag did raise a chuckle, so that is something.

There were too many great lines to quote, but my favorite was probably the sticky note

"Do we need a self-destruct button? - Discuss at next meeting?"

That was definitely my favorite part, but it actually read "Maybe we should just uninstall the self-destruct?"

it is true that Tomas Edison stole his inventions and ruined & discredited his rivals.

Tesla was a true genius, Edison was a thief and a jerk.

GREAT NEWS: Fowler will be back!

Just got confirmation via twitter.

WOAH! Great job Carson!

This is awesome news!

+1 - the Valiant pattern to date has generally been alternating artists every other story arc. I was hoping this would prove to be the case for Q&W.

I don't remember laughing out loud with a comic the way I'm doing every month with this.
I'm a Batman superhero type (serious sh** superhero types) but this has become one of the must reads of the month. This is not only funny, it's really hilarious.

I'm gonna miss Beta-Max. They need to find a way to keep that clown around. He's awesome.

Yeah, he was great! I love how his body was still grafted with cybernetic parts from the 80's. His film strip overheated! Ha!

It's interesting that Detective Alejandra escaped with them. I wonder if she'll be their "Commissioner Gordon"?

+1 agreed! Q&W are my exception to the rule too!

I loved the goat and the reaction to its being on the loose. Kind of a Monty Python "Holy Grail" nod to the bunny rabbit (It's got fangs! Run away!).

"It's LOOSE!! Sweet monkey-$@#$*&@ Darwin, It's LOOOOSE!!"

This issue was excellent. Lots of fun. Lots of chaos. I hope the next artist can do the book justice. Fowler was perfect on this book and this issue in particular. It had a very Chew-ish vibe to it which is great. 5/5

I think people who read Chew would love Q&W. I wonder if the Guillory cover will attract some Chew readers to the book. He doesn't do too much art outside of Chew itself.
