 Gay League - Joe Fludd
Quantum Comics exists because I've always believed I have a place in the comics industry that I've loved since I was just a little boy, but outside of my collaboration with Andy Mangels in GAY COMICS, I haven't been welcomed to the party and I haven't been progressing professionally as I wanted to do.
And here was this comic book that was not just about good guys fighting bad guys, but also about scientific exploration and discovery in its stylized, comic book way, and about wanting to know the secrets of the universe and life and space and time.
In super-hero comics, the answer to this question is that the super-hero, who generally possesses powers that set him above and apart from the masses, uses them nobly to protect and help those not as gifted, and in return the masses adore and love the super-hero.

 World Famous Comics >> After the Golden Age - Alvin Schwartz, Jan 27, 2003
The answer to that question isn't to be found in quantum physics but in larger questions such as the reality of time, the effect of the future on the past, as well as what we already know but do not know we know.

 NEWSARAMA.COM - PRIEST BLESSES VIP, LLC - Q&W SET FOR RETURN?
As everyone knows, in comics today, it’s all about being able to make a movie about the character, so neither Marvel nor DC was interested in just the publishing.
As Priest said, if and when Quantum and Woody return, they’d be in their original forms, thanks to the agreement the creators had with Acclaim.
It’s either like they don’t like comics and want to try to change them into some dark, angry version of what they think they should be, or are so far in denial about what they’re doing that they can’t see that their stories just aren’t fun anymore.

 Quantum: Rock of Ages #2 (of 12) - PopMatters Comic Book Review
Well, picking up right where we left off, the "Quantum Silica" has just messed up the timestream and imbedded chunks of time-traveling rock in a bunch of characters spread throughout the various parallel dimensions close to Earth.
Record store clerk-cum-interdimensional adventurer Nick Vargas has just met Nazi scientist Friedrich Stoltz, the man responsible for his situation and we are introduced to post-nuclear bum Billy Capra, who uses his chunk of the supernatural gem to summon things like crack and beer.

 Quantum: Rock of Ages #1 (of 12) - PopMatters Comic Book Review
Quantum begins in an alternate universe where -- sigh -- Hitler's forces won World War II.
Some crazy scientist is experimenting on a strange crystal called the Quantum Silica and somehow shatters it, sending chunks of the damned thing skittering throughout the multi-verse.
Rounding out the book are heartfelt writer's notes and a "Who's Who" style write-up of character Nick Vargas, which is rather redundant seeing how we just spent the entire comic learning the stuff presented in the dossier, and anything we didn't know would have been more fun to learn in the pages of the story.
