(W) James Asmus (A) Steve Lieber (CA) Paolo Rivera
Join Multiple Harvey Award nominee James Asmus (Thief of Thieves), New York Times best-selling writer FRED VAN LENTE (IVAR, TIMEWALKER), Eisner Award-winning artist Steve Lieber (Superior Foes of Spider-Man), and explosive artist Kano (Daredevil) for the next deluxe hardcover of the superhero joyride Salon calls "one of the year's funniest comics"! 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 with these ill-suited and irresponsible "heroes," they're in for a cross-country race through the darkest corners of American mythology... and all hell is bound to break loose. Can two busted pairs become four of a kind in time to defeat the Hobo King, save the day, and make it back home for happy hour? Let's hope so...'cause these guys make a really, really bad team. (And you don't even want to know about the goat.)
