PUBLISHERS WEEKLY
In outline, this is a cookie-cutter DC superhero crossover: heroes from different backgrounds meet, sometimes fight, and ultimately team up to take on a multiverse-threatening big bad. The difference in Future Quest is that the characters come not from DC's backlist but from the Hanna-Barbera action cartoons of the 1960s. Jonny Quest, Space Ghost, Birdman, the Herculoids, Frankenstein Jr., and even more obscure characters are called into action to take on a vague menace called Omnikron. The plot meanders, often losing the thread from issue to issue. The real point is to showcase Hanna-Barbera's classic and not-so-classic characters in full-throated, full-color action, with nary a whiff of Space Ghost: Coast to Coast style snark. Readers who haven't heard of Mighty Mightor and can't name Birdman's pet eagle are unlikely to get much out of the series, but the creators do a pitch-perfect job of recreating the pulpy fun of the original cartoons, with their thrown-together plots and sleek Alex Toth character designs.
