Parker: You find out that that Doctor Quest and his team have been racing around the globe tracking down this phenomenon that keeps happening: something keeps breaching into our world. What can you tell us about the opening arc of Future Quest ? But if you liked the kind of action-adventure tone of Jonny Quest, that’s sort of the one I picked to hold it all together.
