THE DELINQUENTS #1 SECOND PRINTING VARIANTMedia Release -- Valiant is proud to announce that THE DELINQUENTS #1 – the FIRST ISSUE of the first disastrous team-up between Quantum and Woody and Archer & Armstrong – has sold out at the distributor level and will return with a brand-new second printing in stores October 1st!

You demanded it, so we delivered it! Archer & Armstrong finally meet Quantum and Woody! Written by multiple Harvey Award nominee James Asmus (Quantum and Woody) and New York Times best-selling writer Fred Van Lente (Archer & Armstrong) with art by heat-seeking artist Kano (Gotham Central), start reading here as Valiant's two most ill-suited and irresponsible pairs of "heroes" go head-to-head for a cross-country rat race…with only an ass-map to guide them!

For decades, the underground society of American hobos guarded one secret with their lives – the route to hobo paradise…aka Big Rock Candy Mountain, U.S.A. Only one map leading to its mythical location was ever made…and it was tattooed on the butt cheeks of one lone hobo guardian! In the years since, it has been flayed, dried, and split into two halves. Archer & Armstrong have the left cheek, Quantum and Woody hold the right. And, now, these two halves are about to set the competing duos off on a cross-country rat race where "O" marks the spot!

Quantum and Woody are the world's worst superhero team... Archer & Armstrong are a mismatched pair of conspiracy-busting adventurers... Together…they make a really, really bad team! Stay out of the way because, on October 1st, they're bringing the summer's most out-of-control joyride back to comic book stores everywhere in THE DELINQUENTS #1 SECOND PRINTING!
