Quantum and Woody are the world's worst superhero team. Archer & Armstrong are a mismatched pair of conspiracy-busting adventurers. When a mysterious force collides these ill-suited and irresponsible "heroes" are in for a cross-country race through the darkest corners of American mythology, all hell is bound to break loose.

Let's hope so...'cause these guys make a really, really bad team. (And you don't even want to know about the goat.) It's an all-new superhero joyride from fan-favorite writers James Asmus (QUANTUM AND WOODY) and Fred Van Lente (ARCHER & ARMSTRONG) and heat-seeking artist Kano (QUANTUM AND WOODY,Immortal Iron Fist), colliding Quantum and Woody and Archer & Armstrong for the world's most disastrous team-up adventure!… (more)

One of those books that desperately wants to be a madcap laugh riot, but is instead a painful and most tedious slogathon to read. It's a team-up between two of Valiant's buddy books -- Archer & Armstrong and Quantum & Woody -- wherein all the bros hunt for the treasure of the hoboes, which as the old folk song tells us is at the Big Rock Candy Mountain. They must crisscross America, usually by rail, looking for the hobo signs that will point the way, all the while fighting and bickering betwixt and between themselves.

I got it for free as a Bonus Borrow on Hoopla and even then it was still overpriced because they did not include the emotional cost of actually having to read it.

Look, it's bad. Just know that it's bad. Very bad. Bad bad bad bad bad. BaaAAAaaaddddddddDD. (
