'Quantum and Woody: Earth's Last Choice' by Christopher Hastings with art by Ryan Browne is a graphic novel about two of the strangest heroes around, plus their pet goat.

Foster brothers Eric and Woody Henderson are an odd pair. Add a strange superpower that keeps them close to each other with very different personalities and things get a bit crazy. This book has them chasing a group of mad scientists and the odd creations and effects that causes.

I expect a Quantum and Woody book to be all over the map, but this felt more scattered than usual and it kind of wore on me by the end. The art feels a bit too loose and unstructured for this kind of book. The covers are fantastic though.

I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Diamond Book Distributors and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this graphic novel.

Quantum and Woody are Earth's last hope in stopping a coalition of mad scientists. Volume one has issues 1-4 of the 2020 run.

What drew me to Quantum and Woody was the artist. Ryan Browne also did the art for Curse Words and he did not disappoint in this book either. The bright colors were also a great addition to the story. It helped create the over the top feel of the book. The story was a bit all over the place. But that is part of the charm of Quantum and Woody. The creative team was perfect to show off the craziness.

4 stars.

This was certainly an interesting graphic novel to read. Right away we saw these two heroes take on some truly dangerous foes. Things don’t always go as planned for these heroes, but that was part of what made this graphic novel a blast to read. Just when things seemed to finally be going their way, they find out the Earth is in serious danger. To save it, these heroes will have to come up with a plan and I mean fast. Most readers should have fun reading this graphic novel.

I haven't read a Quantum and Woody book for almost a decade now (since vol. 1), and I was excited to read this story since Christopher Hastings wrote Dr. McNinja, my favorite webcomic of all time. That said, this volume was underwhelming. The family conflict between Quantum and Woody was interesting but hit the same beats of teamwork and trust as I remembered, and while the villains and situations were over the top, but not so over the top that the became sublime (as often happened with McNinja). Perfectly fine, but I hoped for more!

Quantum and Woody are a couple of inept super heroes who manage to screw things up even when they are given every advantage! Woody claims to have developed super powers that let him see the future, but that is a scam on Quantum. So they go off and stop an attack on the Senate and get off the super hero blacklist. Then an attack at a ice rink leads to a team-up with a mythical super hero. But then comes the incident at their old middle school and now their actions have returned to haunt them. Will they ever recover? And what is up with the goat?

Thanks Netgalley for the chance to read this title.

💯Action packed!

Liked the characters and the art sequence a lot.

The plot could have been better.

However, I had a difficult time reading the dialogues.

The ARC I got was a bit blurry.

Thanks NetGalley for the copy.

Quantum and Woody are shamed superheroes. They are also brothers. The government has told that they are a menace due to their powers and could cause the death of humanity. Quantum is also known as Eric. Eric has a pet goat. Woody appears to be in a trance speaking prophecies that make no sense (even to him). What is the message? Quantum tries to figure out the clues even though he doesn’t know where they will end. They end up at the capitol building where the government is process of voting on the “ethical restraint of technology and science act..”. They end up saving people from the criminals known as the Kammerjagers family. Will this get Woody and Quantum off the hook as bad superheroes. Will it?

This pair of superheroes has come back from a previous run. I’ve never read Quantum and Woody graphic novels until this one. I liked the storyline and illustrations were great. The author gives enough background that made it easy for me to get into the superheroes. I’m glad I had the chance to read this!

This was given to me for free as an advanced reading copy by Net Galley in exchange for an honest review.

I've never read anything by Christopher Hastings before but after reading this, I see why he was put in charge of Gwenpool.

Quantam and Woody: Earth's Last Choice is about two heroes named... wait for it... Quantam and Woody. They are brothers who got quantam powers and now use their powers to save the day. Quantam has always wanted to be a hero and Woody sees it as a way to fame and fortune. The two find themselves getting in hairier situations and battling more formidable foes.

If you like anything that can be described as "zany," then this is for you. It's a superhero story but also a comedy. There is a story and it's quite easy to follow as there's not much to it. It's not bad. It's just simple. This is vol 1 of an ongoing series and this first volume was enough to get me interested.

There were some downsides though. At times the art by Ryan Browne inconsistent. It would go from really good to super cartoony from one panel to the next. How cartoony, you may ask? Think Mad Magazine level. Not bad, but not what I was expecting.

All in all this was fun and entertaining. I enjoyed what I read even if it didn't suck me in like I would have hoped. Read this for some goofy superhero fun.

I love comics and I love heroes. I thought this would be a serious (ish) book, but it's honestly kind of silly. The art is decent but the dialogue is a bit stilted. I made it about halfway through the book. It just didn't make me want to read more. Just one nerd's opinion. If you like irreverent, lowbrow slapstick AND superheroes, you'll probably love it.

Quantum and Woody: Earth's Last Choice is a fun and chaotic read in true Quantum and Woody fashion. Woody supposedly has new powers that allow him to predict the future and is using them to try and regain recognition and fame. Eric aka Quantum is drug along for the ride as the duo bumbles into saving the day and even picks up a superhero of a surrogate mother. Funny and a total mess, Quantum and Woody always brings the laughs and lifts the mood for mindless joy and fun. My voluntary, unbiased review is based upon a review copy from Netgalley.

I honestly have no words for what I have just read.
It's bat**** insane in a way that I might have enjoyed if I were more into chaotic, mile-a-minute hijinks.
Quantum and Woody is a title that many people have pointed me towards and I thought this relaunch would be a good place to start, but Hastings' comedic style is not for me. It might be a little bit that you're dropped into it and it's a bit like trying to get into a car while it's driving off without you.
Browne's art works really well with adding chaos to the story, even when it might be a bit much. There's a nice flow between the words, the plot pacing, and the way the art moves it along that actually really impressed me.
It is interesting and there are some fun bits, it's just not for me.

Many thanks to NetGalley and the publisher for the early read.

Following around the world’s worst superheroes is a good hook. It’s humorous; some of it landed flat, but I enjoyed the Reddit-like message board page that Quantum and Woody both post in at the beginning of each volume.

The art was a bit confusing at times. I didn’t know if I was looking at the back of someone’s head, or the side of another. It’s very loosely drawn.

The story is engaging enough to check out the next issue. I didn’t find out until after I finished that this was created nearly a decade ago, and it has a lot of sequel collections available to read. There’s a couple of interesting, overarching mysteries they’re teasing out, and issue #4 ends with a big one.

Overall, it’s a light and funny series, a good escape for a while.

Quantum and Woody is always a visual treat. What’s more, this clever comic work calls attention to aspects of the genre in entertaining ways. Wonderful reading!
