The Infinite Adventures of Jonas Quantum is the kind of book that will fly under the radar of a lot of readers despite the ridiculously long title. It boast the talents of well know mainstream creators Marc Guggenheim and Freddie Williams II, but coming out from Legendary, this one may not be sitting on the rack waiting for you to browse through it in many comic shops. It it's not waiting on the rack it's definitely worth tracking down. Ask your shop to order a copy for you. If you like it as much as I did it's going to be on your pull list moving forward for sure!

The Infinite Adventures of Jonas Quantum #1 reads like an homage to all things sci-fi, buoyed by the strong collaboration between Guggenheim and Williams. The issue's standalone structure leaves some answers as feeling all too convenient, but there's enough carry over to warrant further investment. The real treat is Quantum himself, and with a strong sense of character and an enjoyable visual style, this series is worth a look. Read Full Review
The best parts of the plot are when Guggenheim surprises the reader by subverting expectations. I didn't expect the pocket universe to reference a well-known 1953 lithograph, and the surprise of recognition was delightful. Jonas' progressively ridiculous accomplishments, the dorky way he named his formula "DeathCure" and the offbeat charm of the pawnshop scene are all big plusses. The humor and compact, self-contained structure of "The Infinite Adventures of Jonas Quantum" #1 are enjoyable but, to hook readers for the long haul, either the plotting or the characterization will need to step it up.
