![]() ![]() Darwyn Cooke's influence is not coincidental: as Parker explains in an epilogue, Cooke helped inspire and plan Future Quest shortly before his death.Īkin to how Kings Watch had to face the campiness of its characters in the modern eye, Future Quest has several hurdles to clear when it comes to how readers might approach its characters. If Agents of Atlas was Marvel's version of Johns's JSA, then Future Quest is DC's version of Parker's Kings Watch, with a strong dose of DC: The New Frontier mixed in. Jeff Parker greatest talent is his ability to assemble great team stories out of previously-established superheroes, much like Geoff Johns back in his strongest days. A lot of the credit goes to the choice of the writer. 1 is so good that its existence excuses the rest of the line. Others, like the postmodern Flintstones and the upcoming Snagglepuss seem to be trying too hard to make themselves important. Some are too needlessly gritty, like Wacky Raceland and Scooby Apocalypse. Most of the books in the Hanna-Barbera line hold no interest for me. ![]() ![]() That felt like a major missed opportunity for DC to jump into the youth comic book market. ![]() My second reaction to DC's Hanna-Barbera line of comics (with the first being "Wait, what?!") was "They should have done this years ago."
