As you may have heard, Valiant’s new “Quantum and Woody” #1 is coming with a cover that actually talks.
Well, ok. It doesn’t actually talk. You can’t have a conversation with it like Siri or something. But, in the same spirit as Marvel’s AR, which allows you to watch comics come to life, Valiant’s Goat Variant (seen above) will come with a QR code that will show off the below funny/mildly disturbing video:
Real talking goat action, folks! That’s what you get when you throw down for “Quantum and Woody.”
Also, while you’re here — we’ve shown you a look inside the book before, how would you like to see a lettered preview? You would? Excellent.
Be sure to check out our extended interview with James Asmus about the relaunch, and look forward to “Quantum and Woody” #1 hitting stores this July.
For the full Valiant press release, please see below.
