Quantum & Woody Complete Collection, Q2 From Priest and Bright Coming in October

One of the biggest announcements to come out of last year's New York Comic Con was that Valiant Entertainment was bringing Priest and M.D. Bright back to Quantum and Woody with Q2: The Return of Quantum and Woody.

That story will reportedly pick up in real time, ignoring the current Valiant continuity in favor of catching up with the "classic" Quantum and Woody, now twenty years older.

"As a longtime Quantum and Woody fan, this project is a dream come true, as is diving into the material and working with these amazingly talented creators," said series editor Alejandro Arbona. "Getting in all-new scripts and all-new art of the new adventures of Eric Henderson and Woody Van Chelton is surreal. Quantum and Woody are back!"

Q2 is finally coming -- along with an omnibus collection of Priest and Bright's work on the original Quantum & Woody from the '90s -- in October.

The first in a new line of oversized hardcover omnibuses re-presenting the most demanded series and runs from the Valiant archives, The Complete Quantum and Woody Classic Omnibus hardcover will collect Quantum and Woody (1997) #0–21 and #32, The Goat: H.A.E.D.U.S. #1, and X-O Manowar (1996) #16 (guest-starring Quantum and Woody), the original backup stories from the Quantum and Woody trade paperback collections, and the never-before-collected story "Thunk" – plus a wealth of rarely seen sketches, character design, process art and promotional materials.

The collection will also feature art from the likes of Bart Sears, Keith Giffen and a pre-The Walking Dead Charlie Adlard.

You can check out the solicitation text below for both books.

Now Woody is out to break up the all-new, all-different Quantum and Woody and put an end to Quantum's recklessness…just as Quantum takes on a life-or-death personal mission for national security.
