Each group gets a chance to show off their skill set and plays an essential role in beating it, but Jonny and Hadji (per the show, of course) really get a chance to shine, despite Dr. The multiple ensembles actually work pretty well for the specific threat that is Omnikron, since it can manifest in various places all over the world. On the bright side, I can now tell Birdman and Space Ghost apart despite them looking like the same guy in a different suit (who, incidentally, also looks like my boyfriend Race Bannon). I’m not familiar with any of the shows from childhood except Jonny Quest (the reason I picked this up in the first place), so I can’t say I know more than a handful of character names.
I stand by my initial impression that are just too many characters to begin with, though, and it’s not clear why it needed not just one but several ensemble casts. This is a little stronger than the first volume, and it seems like now that all the various groups have been introduced, they come together more seamlessly to fight against Omnikron.
Trigger warnings: mass death, violence, fires/explosions. Together, they may be able to defeat it once and for all. Zin, to keep Omnikron from overrunning the world. Quest are fighting alongside the other heroes and even the famous villain, Dr. When inter-dimensional pockets start opening up on earth, timelines collide, leaving dinosaurs and saber-toothed tigers roaming the Florida swamplands. Future Quest combines characters from Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, and The Herculoids, together for the first time to fight an otherworldly evil called Omnikron that threatens to take over Earth. There are mild spoilers ahead for Future Quest, Vol 1. I'll be picking up the rest of DC's Hanna-Barbera offerings at some point. Doc Shaner, Steve Lieber, and the rest of the crew did a phenomenal job of bringing the feel of the Hanna-Barbera cartoons while still making the art seem contemporary.įuture Quest Volume 2 was a satisfying conclusion to the saga. The art is as good as the last volume, a slick style evocative of Alex Toth's original designs. When Benton Quest and his arch nemesis are on the same side, you know shit has hit the fan. There's humor but it doesn't detract from the dramatic tension. It's kid-friendly but not dumbed down in the least. In Future Quest, he crafts a captivating, exciting tale that is surprisingly accessible considering the Hanna-Barbera characters aren't the most well known heroes on the block. Jeff Parker doesn't get enough recognition as being such a fun, versatile writer. It's a really satisfying conclusion to the crossover. Space Ghost finally comes into play and the team takes on the Omnikron on all fronts. Now that all the pieces are on the, shit really starts hitting the fan. Can the Omnikron be defeated by the assembled might of Space Ghost, Jan, Jace, Birdman, The Impossibles, Mightor, Jonny Quest, and the rest of the Hanna-Barbera Heroes?
