Valiant is proud to present your first look inside Quantum and Woody #9, the FIRST ISSUE of "Crooked Lives, Present Tense" - an all-new story arc from award-winning writer James Asmus (Thief of Thieves) and superstar talent Kano (Swamp Thing)! There's a new scourge sweeping the streets of the nation's capitol - robots(!!!) - and Quantum and Woody are on the case! (Or at least they're supposed to be.)

Eric needs to know he can trust Woody - and that means Woody needs to get a job, open a bank account, sign up for a library card, and do all the things a responsible adult does. But when a new gang of rogue mad-scientist super-criminals launch a wave of robo-crime, will Woody stop them...or join them? Plus: EDISON'S RADICAL ACQUISITIONS are back...and they'd like a word or two about their goat, please.
