Awesome! I hope this one stays true all the way to the series coming out, unlike the John Wick directors helming the Bloodshot movie.

Now they just have to line up the actors from 'Psych'!

Alright- who wants a complete set of VEI's Q&W? :lol:

Great, seriously GREAT news for Valiant! This is probably the best chance so far of the company breaking into the mainstream audience. Russo Bros. draw lots of attention.
:thumb: even though, this would be my last pick fo a Valiant TV show. But I do get that it is trying to fill a niche in the "TV tights and capes subgenre": there's no Deadpool over there. Smart decision, I guess.

This could be very cool, but I still think I am "cautiously optimistic." I don't want to get excited until I see it pop up on the TV listings.

Also, the Night Man TV show lasted two seasons.

Firefly lasted only 1 season. Still, it has a ridiculous cult following and is coming back as a result! :thumb:

Yeah, DBS, as much as I wanted that, it is a "nope, never, so sorry" situation, AFAIK.
I am rewatching it again with my gf, one ep per week (it's on re-runs, constantly here). She is liking it a lot and has no idea that its all there is. :twisted: :lol:

Great for VEI. The series could carve out a nice niche for them: Q&W, from Acclaim to Q2, has been remarkably distinct from mainstream superhuman fic, and I've missed reading it, big time. Maybe Delinquents will be the Serenity of 2025.

So what are the chances that Joe Public takes one look at Quantum's outfit and immediately dismiss the show as a poor man's/rip-off Deadpool? :?

I know right? :lol: They have to put the superpowered KLANG stuff right upfront- start a teaser with that, so peeps won't have Wade on their minds when the mask pops up.

Honestly, if this is pulled in the right direction, it could be even better than the OG source. I may not like sillyness, for the most part, in my books, but TV is another animal: I watch freaking Supergirl, and last time I checked, I did not worry about my menstrual cycle to begin soon (not being a misogynist turd, just saying "jokingkly" that I'm not the demographic for this show, but since it has Super-something, I'm in, even though I would never pick a solo Supergirl comic. Ever.)

What I mean is that I'll be more open-minded and optimistic for a Q&W TV show, than a new comic from these 2.

Quantum and Woody have been some of my favorites since I picked up Priest & Bright's #1 as a teenager in 1997. I am for sure looking forward to this.

Have to admit I am furthest away from this title than anything else as I don't really see myself getting into a comedy read.

Any QW pros care to share the short list ? Is it just the Q2 high ratio stuff and the original #1 and 3? I've seen a few non ratio Q2 and some QWMD but that's about it. Although knowing seems to make things appear :)
