Digitally Speaking...37 "The Delinquents"

via Valiant Universe
The Delinquents #1 (Valiant)
From 2014.

Archer & Armstrong.  Quantum & Woody.  Together.  Except out of those four names, you really only need to know one name:

Deadpool.

As in, they totally Deadpooled this series.  "They" as in James Asmus and Fred Van Lente.  Asmus is the writer of Quantum while Van Lente is responsible for Archer.  I actually came away from the Quantum reboot when I sampled it thinking somewhat positively.  But yeah, totally Deadpooled.

It's more disappointing seeing Van Lente in this kind of form.  I know him best from Action Philosophers and the various Hercules comics he did with Greg Pak for Marvel.  Those were funny.  Here, he's, yeah, Deadpooled.

Look, I appreciate hobos just as much as anyone else.  But enough about Asmus and Van Lente.  Ha!  Seriously, though, this is a bunch of nonsense.  And I'm not even sure "Delinquents" was the best term to use for those hobos.  I mean, bozos.  

Whatever.  

This may be the real legacy of the great Giffen/DeMatteis/Maguire Bwa-ha-ha League.  Sad to see.
