'Quantum and Woody! Vol. 1: Kiss Kiss, Klang Klang' by Daniel Kibblesmith with illustrations by Kano is about two brothers who form possibly the most dysfunctional super team ever.
Eric and his adopted brother Woody have superheroes because of an accident, but that same accident set up a consequence and they must touch wristbands with each other every 24 hours. That's going to be hard this time around because they aren't speaking to each other. Eric has taken on a job guarding a secret warehouse full of weapons, and Woody is just being Woody. Eric also knows where Woody's birth father is, and that's why they aren't speaking. Plus, what is really up with that goat they are always hanging around with?
This was a fun read. I've read a couple stories before, and i liked this one a lot. It helped me understand some of the things I was confused about (like that goat). The art works well. There are a lot of laughs in this one.
I received a review copy of this graphic novel from Valiant Entertainment, 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 back! For those that aren't aware, Quantum and Woody are a superhero duo that resemble the Odd Couple. They are constantly bickering, but they have to put up with each other because the accident that gave them their powers will kill them if they don't klang their bracelets together. They are also adopted brothers. These characters have humor baked right in, but it might not work for everyone.
In the previous series featuring these characters we learned a bit about Quantum's father, who raised the two men. This time around there is a chance that Woody's father might be around and he is not going to let that opportunity slip through his fingers. I thought this volume did a nice job of rebooting the series and still making it accessible to new readers. Sure, there are elements that people might want to know more about. I've only read about half of the previous series and felt like this book worked well with the characters and built on some of the earlier stories.
The art was a little different from what I was expecting. I liked it though. It fits with the characters and the tone of the book. I am interested to see more of these characters and plan to go back and finish the previous series.

I thoroughly enjoyed QUANTUM AND WOODY! It was a fast-paced, interesting, hilarious comic series and I think that Quantum and Woody are both great characters.
The art design was in a style which I really enjoy, which was a great bonus when reading too.
The story was new, and I liked the added backstory of them being adopted brothers. The plot points of their dad (one biological, one adopted) was an interesting dynamic to read about, when one brother wants one thing for their dad and one wants another, but they both feel like they know what is best.
I love superhero comics, and this one was a fantastic read. I think I'll be keeping up with this series!
