I don’t read a lot of graphic novels, but when I saw some that revamp the Hanna-Barbera universe, I knew I needed them. I loved Jonny Quest when I was a kid, and it remains one of my favorite cartoons as an adult. I used to watch it with my dad and spend entire days reenacting it with my friends, and it’s hard to imagine growing up without it in my life. That’s not to say it doesn’t have its problems (severe lack of female characters, literally every villain is a POC or a white guy with an accen...
Yes! To be a kid again! I have so many fond memories growing up and watching these cartoon characters. Many of the heroes we follow in this story had great cartoon shows which really opened up my imagination as a child growing up in the 80s. Johnny Quest was one of my favorites. I really loved that opening with the mechanical spiders. Space Ghost was also a guilty pleasure. I remember the Galaxy Trio, Mitor, Birdman, and The Herculoids. I do not remember the Impossibles though. Many of you who g...
With a Universal threat making its way to Earth heroes from all over the Hanna Barbera universe must come together and face the threat before all life ends as we know it. Just picking up this volume and looking at the cover floods me with memories of watching some of these cartoons when I was younger (yes I know it dates me but I am still young at heart.) With a decidedly modern take on a number of hero oriented cartoons such as Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, Frankenstein JR, Birdman, The Herculoids,...
This volume was disjointed and contained a lot of set up, so I'm hoping the next will be more cohesive now that the characters are introduced. It's fun revisiting characters from my childhood and meeting new ones, so I'm looking forward to the second volume.
It's as good as comic books get. I totally loved this book. If you're a fan of Darwyn Cooke or Jeff Parker, this is a must-read. The art is top-notch. A perfect comic book.
This was the Hanna-Barbera book I was most looking forward to. Jonny Quest, Space Ghost and the Herculoids were some of my favorite cartoons to catch when they aired in reruns. The series starts off strong with this all-consuming creature Omnicron attacking the galaxy Space Ghost, the Herculoids and the Galaxy Trio are from. Omnicron is trying to escape to our world and Dr. Quest and Birdman are on the case. We get a lot of the classic characters from Jonny Quest like Dr. Zin, Jezebel Jade, and
Maybe I shouldn’t have read this as I never saw the Jonny Quest cartoon so have zero knowledge about or nostalgia for the show but the recently relaunched Flintstones comic wasn’t bad so I thought Future Quest might be ok too; nope - it wasn’t! Here’s the biggest problem: TOO MANY CHARACTERS! A whole mess of characters are thrown at you as soon as you start reading: heeeeeeeeere’s Jonny (Quest and Hadji)! - ok, they’re the main characters - Race, Dr Quest - fine, they’re the supporting character...
WOW! If you were ever a fan of the Saturday morning action adventure cartoons of the late 60's and early 70's like me then you need to read this comic series. All the greats are joined up in a epic adventure. The writers do a very good job with a storyline that joins this vast cast together. Very nice art that reminds me of the cartoons add a great touch. Pure flashback joy to read. Very recommended
Hell of a nostalgia kick! It's got everything, but the kitchen sink - including dinosaurs and badass secret agent ladies (I can't remember Deva Sumadi from any of the shows, so I assume she's native to this comic, but she ties everyone together nicely)
I have been looking forward to the new DC Hanna-Barbera Universe with high anticipation! This is the 2nd book out but my first read. There is only one word to describe it ... AWESOME!! I grew up watching these cartoons on Saturday mornings and am so happy to see all the HB superheroes in a modern storyline. Future Quest is typical superhero fare with a sci-fi theme. I have always loved Jonny Quest, and this re-imagining is faithful yet current. I'm in love! This is a very busy volume with masses...
I grew up watching many of the Hanna-Barbera science fiction/adventure cartoons, especially Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, and The Herculoids. Jeff Parker had done his research on these characters and has made a fascinating universe that they all inhabit. The original cartoons were very lean on origin stories, the characters just _were_. Parker has imbued carefully constructed origins for the characters that fit into their established narratives. The interactions between the characters are believable...
The Omnikron scours time and space, absorbing anything it comes into contact with. Its next target: Earth. Standing in its way Johnny Quest and the assembled might of all the Hanna-Barbera characters! Well, eventually...As a child of the late 1970s, I have hazy memories of a lot of Hanna-Barbera characters. My mom assures me I watched Johnny Quest on Saturday mornings and I have vague memories of Space Ghost, the Herculoids, and the Galaxy Trio. One of St. Louis' UHF stations had Birdman on at t...
Ok, in all fairness I'm a HUGE Jonny Quest fan. I'm also a fan of both The Herculoids & the original Space Ghost (NOT ...Coast to Coast). So it was almost a given that I'd love this series. Of course, it could have been terrible. It's not. It's fantastic. This is a feel-good, all-ages, fun comic - something that DC really doesn't do much of anymore. Looking forward to future issues and volumes! Keep 'em coming! Love it!
The first volume collects the initial issues of the multi-part crossover that brings together the dozens of Hanna-Barbara animated heroes. While Johnny Quest and his family, along with Space Ghost, have had four-color adventures before this, DC brings them all together for the first time of which I'm aware. Jeff Parker does a great job of capturing the characters pretty much as we remember them, although there are a few bits that appear to be new or at least unrevealed in their previous incarnat...
Unlike DC's other Hanna-Barbera reinventions - the Flintstones, Dastardly & Muttley, Scooby - I'm not sure any of these characters made much of an impact in the UK, or if they did, they weren't part of my childhood. I know the name Jonny Quest; I'm dimly aware of Space Ghost and Birdman, though only via a vague knowledge of their comedy reboots. Others here, such as the Herculoids and the Impossibles, I'm pretty sure I've entirely avoided for all my 40 years. So it's without much confidence that...
In theory, the gist of Future Quest seems tailor-made for my Gen-X crowd. Take the characters from various mid-60's Hanna-Barbera adventure / sci-fi cartoon shows - Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, Herculoids, and Birdman, among others - and have an edition that is one giant crossover event. (I can recall when NBC aired reruns of those shows during their early 80's Saturday morning line-up. They were better - certainly more entertaining - than the newer shows. A good time to be a kid!)Well, that idea d...
First, the things I like about this book are the art and the first issue. The first issue sets up a really interesting story, and combines characters from different series in an interesting way. Things start to fall apart from the second issue though. The story starts going into flashbacks and exposition. It tries to explain who the characters are and how they got into the first issue. I would have preferred it if they didn't explain the characters and just let the story proceed. That way, reade...
This is a reboot putting together many of the Hanna-Barberra characters of yesteryear. We get Johnny Quest, Space Ghost, Birdman, The Herculoids, and more. Their entourages also tag along (and Race Bannon is still a bad@ss.)They team up to battle F.E.A.R. and there's also a more cosmic threat going on, which manages to bring all the characters together in a somewhat plausible way. That being said, this still fell a little flat to me. I recently read Scooby Apocalypse and loved that one, but this...
Future Quest is an 80s/90s kid's dream come true. A bunch of our favourite Hanna-Barbera cartoon superheroes are pulled into the same fight and have to work together to save the world. When I first heard about this book, I was intrigued and couldn't wait to get my hands on the goods.Volume 1 was available on Netgalley, and I surprisingly received a copy of it! It starts off with a bang and the first couple of issues rekindle the magic of our youth. The focus on Johnny Quest and the gang made it
