Let's read the first issue of Future Quest.
I'll do variant covers at the end
>>82888124
Bump
>>82888109
I can't do this. I can't take any of these fuckers seriously because of Adult Swim.
>>82888004
Let's go. However many pages of Shaner goodness.
>>82888177
Did you get that thing I sent you?
>>82888191
Is this Dr. Zin also a member of the Guild of Calamitous Intent?
>>82888109
I know the guy is suppose to be birdman but who's the girl?
What did you think of it?
>>82888391
You boys aren't nerds are you?
'Cause this ain't the nerd taxi.
>>82888308
>>82888328
As someone who didn't watch much Hanna-Barbera besides Scooby and maybe Flintstones/Jetsons, I must say that this reveal was HYPE as fuck.
>>82888039
>they actually remembered aliens from the cartoons and used them
I'm two pages in and already this is making me smile.
And that's all the variants, I thought it was pretty good, especially the art.
>>82888391
So with Birdman and Space Ghost being prominent characters in this, there's going to be no end to the Adult Swim jokes, is there?
>>82888510
Probably not, but it's all in good fun.
>>82888358
>dead Herculoids
This better be a cop-out.
Still, I like this so far. Birdman vs Space Ghost next issue? Is this a mini or an ongoing?
>>82888463
Yeah, art was great except for this >>82888270 one. Seems apart from Doc. We've got a second artist on the book. Didn't know that, though Shaner was doing this one solo.
>>82888358
Wait even Shazzan is going to be in this.
>>82888541
Ongoing.
>>82888407
I liked it.
The Shaner's art is nice, and Bellaire is earning her money as a colorist -- it's all warm and inviting.
And
>>82888283
>>82888296
were awesome, as entire pages, on so many levels.
Overall, I think the book works as a "reboot". It doesn't rely too much on references to the old cartoons, and a first time (and even young) reader can enjoy it.
>>82888260
Hi there, Wandering Eye.
I am loving this already. I used to love getting up at 5am on Saturdays to watch all of this on Boomerang. Had my custom DCUC's made about 5 years ago.
>>82888358
Tundro no!
>>82888260
>>82888358
Is that Shazzan?
I think it's Shazzan.
The actual cartoons were before my time, but I remember watching them all the time on Boomerang around the time stuff like Dexter's Lab and Johnny Bravo began moving there. Johnny Quest and Birdman were two I watched most, so this was a pretty fun nostalgia trip. They couldn't have chosen a better artist than Shaner for this.
>>82888328
This page is like something straight from the Silver Age. I love this art.
>>82888760
I'm still hoping they'll get Blue Falcon in the comic. My autism demands it.
>>82888912
Yeah me too, judging from the tone of this Dino-Mutt will not be nearly as comical. Glad Mightor made it too though, and we eventually get the Galaxy Trio and Impossibles.
>>82888285
think she might be an original character for the event
>>82888541
>dead Herculoids
>This better be a cop-out.
I don't think Tundro is dead, just knocked out. Gives the rest of the Herculoids a reason to go through the portal and rescue him.
>>82888004
I've never really watched any cartoons related to this, only reading this because of creative team and it's quite reader friendly. Are there any cartoon recommendations?
>>82888975
Either an OC or a bit character from the cartoon that nobody's going to remember anyway.
The girl with the Impossibles >>82888463 is definetly an OC.
Don't blame them if they have OCs, really. Those old action cartoons were sausage fests. We need more girls in there.
Loved it. So did my dad who grew up watching these shows. I could tell from his voice when talking to him afterwards that he was overcome with nostalgia. He grew up on a farm and the reception for his family's house was alway sketchy back in the 60's. Whenever these cartoons were on he did his damnedest to watch them, particularly Space Ghost, Jonny Quest, and the Herculoids. When I was growing up he recorded all the shows off the TV with VHS tapes so he could have them and so he could share them with his kids. He just loves this stuff. I think the fact someone actually remembered these characters and tried to make a serious story that gave them the respect he thought they deserved really got to him.
So 10/10 if only because my dad loves it.
>>82888545
>We've got a second artist on the book. Didn't know that, though Shaner was doing this one solo.
Keep in mind that this issue had extra pages (hence the 3.99 price tag). I think he'll be solo from now on.
>>82888089
Make me wonder if Dino Boy is going to end up explaining how Mightor makes it into the modern age.
>>82888100
Is the "killer plants" thing a reference at all?
>>82888204
>>82888224
HELLO! WALKING EYE HERE!
>>82888328
>>82888391
Adult Swim has tainted these characters for me.
I can't see them as anything other than a crappy lawyer and a narcissistic talk show host.
>>82888004
>RUDE
WTF!? Is Steve Rude back!?
>>82889083
Depends. How much can you tolerate low budget animation and unintentional camp?
>>82888328
I fucking heard it ringing out in my skull.
>>82888004
It's time.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TNWSGCiBzg
>>82889321
Yeah Rude drew a few pages
Isn't the plural of vortex vortices?
>>82889375
Hey, they're better than Clutch Cargo.
>>82889375
I've watched Adam West Batman and loved it. Probably the campiest thing I've watched.
>>82889181
>>82888545
Wouldn't surprise me if Cooke had originally intended to contribute to this book.
>>82889488
Yes
>>82889576
He drew the initial announcement splash and I thought I'd heard he contributed to designs?
>tfw that spread was probably one of the last few things he completed
All of this is most certainly before my time, yet I'm getting a good feeling that this will be pure gold.
>>82889321
He drew
>>82888270 this page to
>>82888358
>>82888077
>Steve Rude getting work
Hope he starts being a regular at DC with him doing the Kamandi thing as well. Love the guys stuff.
>>82890015
Is he? Who's he paired with?
>>82890034
I believe he's with Giffen.
didn't heard any of these before. But first issue was really good.
When do the rest of HB comics come out?
>>82890130
Scooby is next week, I think Flintstones is next month and then Wacky Raceland in June or July
honestly i didnt like this very much, I feel like most of the pull would be nostalgia and people who watched the cartoons when they were younger, but I never did
It seemed pretty rad though, just not my thing. Glad I read it
>>82890130
5/25 - Hipster Monster Hunters
6/08 - Mad Max: Grand Prix
>>82890149
Flintstones 7/06
>>82888124
>Mrs. Quest died in a bomb, Race is from the Defense department because of that
Huh. Makes sense, but i never remember the show saying it
>>82889576
Why'd you have to remind me, anon.
>>82889495
>>82889564
Then I suggest you start with Johnny Quest, Space Ghost and Herculoids, IMO the best shows of that era, then if you want something in the same vein Birdman, Mighty Mightor and Galaxy Trio. If you want more comedy, the Impossibles, Dynomutt the Dog Wonder (that's the one with Blue Falcon), and The Amazing Chan and the Chan Clan (definetly not appearing on thie comics but hilarious).
>>82889083
They were syndicated on cartoon network for a while in the 90s which is how I watched most of them.
I remember Johnny Quest, Bird man, and Space Ghost as well as the more comedic ones like Penelope Pitstop (childhood boner time!) being pretty good.
I haven't watched them since, but I do have fond memories watching them.
so Great Grape Ape and Capt Caveman when?
might as well throw in jabberjaw as well...who else is hanna barbara? sea lab 2020 maybe inch high private eye?
>>82888431
>>Blink
>Why the hell are we back here, we aren't even in this damn comic event.
>Cuz we're the ghosts of sidekicks future!
Off to a great fucking start.
>>82890667
>inch high private eye
They aren't going to put your dick in the comic
>>82888541
That might NOT be Tundro, just another 'wild' critter of his species.
Man. My early childhood came back.
So beautiful...
>>82891151
>>82891151
If they did nobody would notice.
>>82889315
Hence the existence of this comic and the next issues.
It's to purify them and show the awesome of times past.
>>82888391
>>82888308
I'm hearing George Lowe and Gary Cole
>>82891480
Are you implying SG C2C and HB, AAL aren't GOAT adult swim cartoons?
>>82891606
They are fun in their own way...well when it comes to HB I have mixed feelings.
Yet wanted to have these dudes in their original forms for some time.
>>82888358
>the fucking herculoids
this is gettin good.
>>82888380
Hey hey, another Marylander!
>>82888407
I liked the three heroes, Water Dude, Coily Fuck, and MultiCock but who's the chick with them?
>>82888391
>that badass Space Ghost entrance
Fuck this is awesome. I might actually buy this.
So, Birdman's secret identity isn't a secret, I assume?
>>82891925
He's a secret agent who has no concept of subtly or volume control.
>>82892075
I just find it very hard to read this without thinking "Wow...that's a man kiss..."
>>82888391
Haha space ghost murdering johnny quest.
>>82888177
>>82888203
>This is the future of Teen Titans
>>82888260
One of them is definitely the dragon from Herculoids
>>82888358
They better not fucking kill off Tundro... This is bullshit.
>>82888358
he better not really be dead already
>>82892387
>>82888358
Gloop is there too! BASED GLOOP
>>82888407
I loved it but they better fucking revive Tundro
>>82890568
It was all the original incarnation of Boomerang. Block from like 5am to 8am on Saturday mornings. Because a lot of these shows only aired 7 minute episodes, they were able to throw in so much diversity. Strange word to use since so many of them used the same backgrounds and sound effects.
>>82892769
how on God's Earth do you know that's not Gleep?
>>82888431
They just have to make some sort of reference to how Brak and Zorak were in Coast to Coast.
>>82888451
Herculoids are what I'm most excited about. They've always been my favorite HB action franchise.
>>82888407
I like it a lot. Shame Adult Swim has ruined this for me. I can't not think of their joke counterparts.
>>82892920
Gloop is bigger, anon.
>>82893003
Just wait till Brak shows up. That's going to be the real test.
>>82892926
There should either be a final comedy page, or an intro recap page coming from the Adult Swim versions of the characters.
>>82889203
I think it's a reference to whatever it is Space Ghost is fighting.
>>82888261
Yeah, he even slept with The Monarchs dad.
>>82888550
>>82888854
Dino Boy was just added in at the last minute, won't surprise me if they added Shazzan too later.
>>82889189
What do you mean?
>>82888407
I would watch a cinematic universe of this.
I watched a bit back in the 90's, while Beast Wars was still airing and Zordon was alive, so I'm aware of a bit of this from the source rather than Adult Swim.
But for instance, I didn't know Birdman had a face. And I guess Space Ghost does too now?
>>82894705
Space Ghost never had one in the cartoon. Or even an origin, if I recall.
>>82894705
Pretty sure you can see his face on the first few pages of this issue,
I don't get it
Where's Phil Ken Seben?
Where's Brock Samson?
Where are the Aqua Team Hunger Force?
>>82888407
Good shit. I've only caught a handful of episodes of the action oriented hanna-barbera cartoons as a kid on Boomerang but this stuff works well on it's own that you don't need to know the original material to enjoy it. Everything about this issue was solid.
>>82894911
That reminds me; when Falcon Seven shows up he better laugh at something. Just once. Doesn't have to be a big laugh, just a quiet "Ha, ha..."will suffice.
Is the solo space ghost comic any good? I see it's getting a reprint soon.
>>82894911
>Where's Phil Ken Seben?
We'll see him during the courtroom story.
>Where's Brock Samson?
Different universe, not likely to appear outside of a background reference.
>Where are the Aqua Team Hunger Force?

>>82888261
It's pretty much confirmed that Quest and Venture Bros. take place in the same universe. Race is in a few episodes, flashbacks after he gets killed.
>>82895272
Well, not THIS Quest universe, obviously. The cartoon one.
....The 60s cartoon one.
>>82889125
This post gave me the feels. Thanks for sharing, /co/mrade.
>>82888407
not bad
I would have preferred they do a cosmic story with all the interesting characters instead of focusing on Johny Quest
>>82890337
I'm pretty sure they did, actually. If not, it must've been in the old Gold Key comics... I just know it was established canon even back in the day.
>>82890568
>They were syndicated on cartoon network for a while in the 90s which is how I watched most of them.
My nigga. Not enough of /co/ remembers a time when Toonami would air shorts to fill time between their half-hour shows, instead of commercials.
>>82895619
And apparently you don't remember Boomerang long before Toonami was created.
>>82893090
HEYYYYY SPACE GHOST YOU KNOW WHAT
>>82895659
Or Cartoon Network in general for its first few years.
>>82889315
>>82891480
Try reading the Steve Rude Space Ghost one-shot.
>>82895474
It's called a P.O.V. character, anon. Something you desperately need in a cosmic crisis crossover story.
Pretty cool. Saw the future quest image floating around the other day and didn't realize it was tied to a comic, so this was a pleasant surprise.
Love me some Herculoids.
>>82895659
Not all of us could afford premiun cable, smartass.
>>82895818
Boomerang was a block on Cartoon Network long before they created the channel. Saturday mornings from about 5 am to 8 am.
>>82888328
You can't help but yell it with him.
>>82890337
I remember some old cartoon movie that had the mom
Jonny was happy cause it was the first time she was going it was also the last time she was taken hostage and killed by doctor zin
>>82893003
Honestly, imagining George Lowe voicing an animated adaptation of this has me hyped as all hell
>>82889282
>>82888004
As someone who had no idea who any of these characters are, has never watched any of the original cartoons, and has only passing awareness of the Adult Swim versions of the characters, I enjoyed this immensely. They certainly did something right, I just have no idea what it is.
>>82888177
All I could think of is Brock during the part with Race.
>>82888407
My god this was amazing
Is this a mini series?
How long will this run?
>>82888431
Now all we need is Moltar to finish this off
>>82896577
Yeah, they don't show you that part on TV...
Is Jeff Parker the most underrated comic book writer of the 21st Century so far? I think he is, he has yet to write a bad book, everything he writes is consistently enjoyable, yet he's not a big name like Johns or Bendis.
>>8289659412 issues
>>82888296
what kind of shenanigans will space ghost get into here
Will this be canon to this universe, and also, is this any good
Pretty impressive that there are 5 shotas in this book.
>>82896747
No and yes.
>>82888358
god damn, all was wonderful till they killed my favorite herculoid.
WHY???
Space Ghost, can I be in the comic?
>>82888431
But where is the Nascar Driver Rusty Wallace?
>>82896652
Probably because he's mainly known for doing adaptations and even in that case, he tries to remain true to the original work rather than making it HIS Batman '66 and such
>>82888391
I'm with the anons who are reading this with Adult Swim in the forefront of my mind, but as someone who also used to watch Space Ghost back when TNT would show it and other HB cartoons early in the morning, I was hype as fuck reading this issue. It was fantastic, and I can't wait for the rest of it.
>>82896652
He's amazing and even though he is isn't calling the shots the fact that he gets consistent work on well-regarded books means that the publishers know he's good too and value him.
>>82888283
Is that Jezebel Jade?
>>82896652
Very versatile writer.
>>82896954
no, now get back to work before I have to take you to the gun show
>>82889125
Yeah, this is a good one.

You can enjoy and appreciate both.
I'd be all for Peanut being this Birdman's equivalent of Jason Todd or Damian Wayne.
What's Parker's stance on those shows anyway?
>>82896652
He may very well be. I'm a huge fan of this dude and I still mix him up with Jason Aaron every now and then. His Agents of Atlas was the fucking tits. Very similar feel to Future Quest.
>>82895474
An evil space horror is punching through the universe how much more cosmic can you fucking get.
Quick!
Everyone post your fave HB Adult Swim parody quotes!
"IT'S PEOPLE! The Mediterranaen Rapids People!"
>>82898836
>>82890337
I think the agency that Race is from is called Intelligence One.
>>82896869
Dude he's on the cover alive and being ridden into battle.
He'll be fine, the Herculoids'll spring him out of F.E.A.R's cell.

Well until I actually read this issue, I thought "Its weird that there's a Mightor in the promos since he's a caveman."
But if anywhere was going to still have his magic club, I would've thought the place Dino Boy was living would be a good set up.

>>82905733
Let's say Harvey Birdman is his cousin or something.

>>82888407
Really nice amalgamation of shows I either remember as a kid or saw way later on adult swim, the fact birdman and space ghost are going to be in this as serious characters is such a fun combo of classic heros with the narration in my head having the shows voices
it sucks Shaner is apparently so slow on art that he'll be gone by issue 4
>>82888431
Sucks that when i went to the lcs today to grab this and another book this stupid cover was the only one they had left. noooooooooooo
It will turn out that Coast to Coast was actually an illusion the cosmic horror had Space Ghost and his enemies trapped in.
>>82908659
>Shaner gone by issue 4
God damnit. Why can't we have nice things
>>82888124
I am sporting such wood you would not believe.
>>82888358
That either better not be Tundro, or he better not be dead. WTF, how would Hadji know, anyway?
>>82891499
Will only ever hear Gary Owens and Keith Andes.
Now if they would include Valley Of The Dinosaurs in this, we could have *three* characters voiced by Mike Road interacting-! I could throw away the fanfic I'm not writing!
>>82899809
I've always held that Dino Boy, Mightor, and Valley Of The Dinosaurs all take place in different parts of the same setting.
Hey, they could use this to get the Butler Family home!
>>82896006
I think that was the movie that introduced Jesse. It was my introduction to Johnny Quest. I loved that thing as a kid.
>>82896444
It was an earnest pulp adventure without cynicism or annoying cringe worthy self awareness.
>>82906456
Birdman's secret ID has always been Ray Randall; "Harvey Birdman" was a goddamn gag name.
Thanks to this comic and this thread I finally looked into getting Jonny Quest on DVD or Bluray, something I always assumed was impossible.
Well. I was wrong.
Turns out as of last November it's possible to get the entire franchise on DVD. All three shows, both movies. Everything.
>>82911415
And now that I look into things it seems the original show was censored. Because of course it was.
Fuck the universe.
>>82911500
The folks behind Loony Tunes may have an idea that "Censoring would be as bad as saying bad shit never happened" but Hanna Barbara still thinks it has a squeaky clean image. Even after the Cartoon Cartoons.
>>82911692
From what I gathered off of the reviews on Amazon, it still airs unedited on Boomerang. So some tight ass exec got involved at the last minute or such.
And from what I can tellI just checked Pirate Bay okaythere's no high quality rips of that either.
>>82911800
What's weird is that they have individual unedited seasons.
>>82905335
Yeah, I get the feel he's supposed to be sort of reminiscent of Johnny Quest. Ty Journey or something.
>>82911500
Looks like the censoring it's too bad.

Largely a line here or there.
>>82911853
They do? What? Link?
>>82911981
They don't. I misread a review and jumped to post before reading the entire thing.
>>82911963
Very strange choices, and not to bad, but still very disheartening.
From what I read, it also seems they removed each episodes custom ending credits for a standardized one.

Darwyn Cooke drew up the original announcement image, and apparently hes one of the ones who cooked up the whole idea.
Parker and Shaner did an interview with ComicsAlliance (yesterday?) where they said Darwyn's teaser image pre-dated their involvement with the series.
>>82888541
ongoing.
Parker and Shaner revealed in an interview that The Impossibles and Mightorr appear in issue 4, and solicits haven't even mentioned the Herculoids yet, despite them being present in covers. Same with Frankenstein Jr.
>>82909276
Is he actually off the book or is it just a fill in?
Where's Jessie at, bros?
I get a real kick out of Frankenstein, Jr. and The Impossibles making appearances in this. I expected pretty much everyone else, but they were a pleasant surprise.
Perhaps Blue Falcon was left outso as not to ruffle Birdman's feathers.
This is off to a great start and has me wanting to revisit all these series from my childhood. My only real complaint is that they didn't even use Darwyn's cover after everything that's just happened. I was planning to pick that one up.
