Everyone’s favorite c-list supervillains return in April 2024 in Minor Threats: The Fastest Way Down! The hit superhero saga from Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum, and Scott Hepburn picks up right where it left off with the same creative team: written by Oswalt and Blum, illustrated by Hepburn, colored by Ian Herring, and lettered by Eisner-nominated letterer Nate Piekos. Joining the squad on issue #1 are variant cover artists: Michael Allred, Joëlle Jones, Hepburn (foil variant), David Mack (1:10 retail incentive variant), Martin Simmonds (1:25 retailer incentive variant), and one more variant cover artist who will be revealed at a later date.

Frankie Follis, AKA the costumed criminal Playtime, has won. Twilight City’s greatest hero, The Insomniac, and its greatest villain, The Stickman, are dead, allowing Frankie to unify the super crook underworld and assert herself as the Queenpin of Redport. But Frankie is feeling the pressure from every side. Rival gangs are challenging her authority, Scalpel, her consigliere, is pushing her to legitimize her empire, and the act of murdering The Insomniac has broken something deep inside her. Frankie is about to learn the hard way… heavy is the head that wears the supervillain crown.

Minor Threats ll: The Fastest Way Down #1 (of 4) arrives in comic shops on April 3, 2024. This issue and all its brilliant variant covers are now available to pre-order for $4.99 at your local comic shop.
