VALIANT ENTERTAINMENT FOR JULY
QUANTUM AND WOODY #1

|
Written by James Asmus, art by Tow Fowler, cover by Ryan Sook, variant covers by Marcos Martin, Andrew Robinson and Tom Fowler.
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. But when their father's murder leads them into the throes of a life-altering scientific accident, Eric and Woody will find themselves with a whole new purpose -- and a perfectly legitimate reason to wear costumes and fight crime. Go big or go home, folks! Quantum and Woody are coming! And the action-packed, zeitgeist-shredding exploitation stunt comic you demanded is here at last.
(And, yes, there will be a goat too. Eventually.)
32 pages, $3.99, in stores on July 10.

Choosing sides is never easy -- especially when the decision could get you killed. As the Harbinger Wars reach their boiling point, Peter and his team must decide what role to play as the lines between friend and foe blur and the casualties pile high all around them. But just when all seems lost, a new ally will emerge from the unlikeliest of places -- and Peter Stanchek's ragtag band of teenage psiots will add a new hero to their ranks. Who will join the Harbinger Renegades?!

Corps -- and Bloodshot stands in the center of it all. But even if Bloodshot manages to win the day, will the tortured, traumatized, and über-powerful kids he's fought for choose to remain under the protection of the Harbinger hunter that once haunted their nightmares? Something's in the air -- and a new era is unfolding for the weapon -- no, the soldier -- no, the man known as Bloodshot.
