Greetings, comics enthusiasts! This week, the original "Odd Couple"*
Chris (@AceComics) and Reggie (@reggiereggie) check out the first two
issues of another mismatched pair of knuckleheads, Christopher Priest
and M.D. Bright's Quantum and Woody from 1997! After the
creator bios, they go through every pages of issues #1 and #2, chuckling
all the way. There's also a history of how Acclaim Entertainment
acquired Valiant Comics and created the line that would host this
series, all the way to the company's eventual bankruptcy. Then, a list
of some of Acclaim's not-so-acclaimed video games and poorly-planned
marketing schemes! All that, plus some listener mail, it's more fun than
a dungeon full of minibosses!
*Except for that other Odd Couple, the play by Neil Simon that was actually the original
