Q2: The Return of Quantum and Woody #3 sheds light on the true nature of the new duo and Eric’s current involvement with them. This is a matter of contention between the former Quantum and Woody, but then again, they’ve always had these types of disagreements even going back to the incident in the woods as kids. Eric would be of the mindset that they needed to talk to the sheriff about the murder and get him to handle it. He would tell Amy that he didn’t know where Woody went but that Woody had plans to flee the country…with a banjo.  Woody would approach Amy later in private and tell her all about this plan while getting some money from her. But instead of fleeing he would end up hiding in the sheriff’s truck for some unknown reason. But the current situation would be more dire with Koro only needing one more piece to complete the Grail and gain control over all the Sword’s operatives, which would basically give him his own army. So the current Quantum and Woody are gearing up for one more fight, even if it’s their last, in order to prevent Koro from acquiring the last piece. They won’t be able to do it alone but there has been so many secrets and bad blood between the former Quantum and Woody that a successful partnership would be extremely difficult. Can they come to terms with this past at least enough to successfully defeat Koro?

SUMMARY

Q2: The Return of Quantum and Woody #3 makes past and present situations more intriguing overall but falters by making every situation unnecessarily complicated. And the Koro storyline, which has been the most interesting, is kept in the background as the mysterious character development takes precedent without any straight answers. There is absolutely no action in this issue either as the fight with Koro for the penultimate piece of the grail will be treated like a flashback.     I do think that things will tie together very well but for that we’ll have to wait and see.
