Dark Horse announces Minor Threats: The Cleaner

Posted on by Leave a comment

Gerry Duggan, Mark Torres, Patton Oswalt, and Jordan Blum return to the world of Minor Threats with Minor Threats: The Cleaner! This pulse-pounding four-issue noir series will be written by Duggan, Oswalt, and Blum, illustrated, colored, and designed by Torres, and lettered by Nate Piekos. Issue #1 will feature cover art by Scott Hepburn, Torres, Subversive Girl, Declan Shalvey, and Jae Lee. The Cleaner originally appeared in the anthology, From the World of Minor Threats: Welcome to Twilight, but this new series is perfect both for readers familiar with Minor Threats and those who are new to the universe.

Twilight City is a hard place to live—and an easier place to die. But some bodies never make the headlines. When the capes make a mess too big to bury, they call one number: THE CLEANER.

By day, David O’Halloran is a struggling small-business owner. By night, he’s the spandex world’s last call for cleanup—disposing of the un-disposable with precision, secrecy, and a price. But when his path crosses with the deadly and dazzling Diamond Dahlia, everything changes. She has a secret past with the legendary vigilante The Insomniac, and it’s about to erupt onto the blood-slicked streets.

Minor Threats: The Cleaner #1 (of 4) will be available in comic shops on November 11, 2026. It is now available for preorder from your local comic shop for $4.99.

Artist: David Lapham
Colorist: Lee Loughridge
Letterer: Nate Piekos

Marty hosts an action-packed cowboy cosplay weekend while Marnie gets into it with the FBI, and Orson finally pulls the trigger. Clint laments his lost love, while William finds his inner fake gangster and then meets a real fake gangster who’s having a full-scale meltdown.

From yoga interrupted to the Battle of Fallujah, with odd hallucinations and butlers doing burpees, it’s just another ordinary week in Verona, Wyoming.

D’orc learns that Fate can be a cruel mistress, or in this case a wise cracking know-it-all creature that lives inside the damn crystal the Bone Witch trapped him in. He will decide to flee or fight as the danger closes in all around him. Expect blood and a special guest that has a bone to pick!

SIX SEVEN!!!SIX SEVEN!!!!

The Shaolin Cowboy faces an icy reception when he leaves his wasteland retreat on a mission of mercy, following the considered consul of a desert swallow and a horned toad, both endangered species.

D’Orc #5 peels back the curtain, and clothes, a bit as we learn more about the origin of D’Orc

Why is D’ORC wet and naked? What are the town guards chasing him for?! And where is the Lava Dragon that was chained under the Mountain top!?! D’ORC makes a fortune teller prove she’s good at her job by explaining it all. This starts a whole set of problems that nobody saw coming…. accept the fortune teller. Yeah, because she’s that good.

Jordan Blum, Tim Seeley, and Scott Koblish bring readers a sunbaked apocalyptic mystery with The Big Shakedown

Posted on by

Dark Horse Comics presents The Big Shakedown, a brand-new four-issue noir comic series from Jordan Blum, Tim Seeley, and Scott Koblish. Written by Blum and Seeley, illustrated by Koblish, colored by Hi-Fi, and lettered by Nate Piekos, this pulpy tale brings readers into a mystery through an earthquake-decimated Los Angeles. Issue #1 will be available in September 2026 and will feature cover art by Koblish.

The Big One, the earthquake to end all earthquakes, has finally struck Los Angeles. The government decides not to rebuild and the city becomes a no-man’s-land for those who refuse to leave it. But hey, you can’t beat the weather. 

Five years later, Ester Blanco, a down-on-her-luck former PI, is willing to do anything to escape the City of Angels. She believes she’s found her ticket out when a desperate father hires her to solve a missing persons case in a city where a third of the population is already missing. Instead, the trail of this lost girl leads Ester to uncover a dark web of cults, conspiracy, and corruption that threatens every Angeleno who stayed behind. 

Gather your emergency supplies and prepare for The Big Shakedown #1 (of 4) as it arrives in comic shops on September 16, 2026. It is now available for preorder from your local comic shop for $4.99.

The Umbrella Academy: Plan B #4

Writer: Gerard Way
Artist: Gabriel Bá
Colorist: Dave Stewart
Letterer: Nate Piekos
Cover artist: Gabriel Bá

I’ve heard a rumor that immersing oneself in work can sometimes serve as a way to avoid confronting family problems. Allison will discover that sooner or later and she’ll have to face the mistakes of her past. Perhaps that’s what Jennifer’s visions are trying to tell her as well. And maybe the Sparrows should know that no president of the United States is ever safe whenever we have a chimpanzee dressed up as Marilyn Monroe.

D’Orc #4 is another fun issue that continues to nail the off-the-rails fantasy concept

Posted on by

D’orc is stuck between rival goblin gangs and the giant three-headed Thrawg they hunt. It’s all spears and teeth in this one. D’orc is learning in life that you end up a shish kebab or a chew toy. Slobbering will happen, but at least one piece of D’orc will get closer to his destination.

D’Orc #3 is a solid and fun issue with some nice twists and action and entertaining art

Posted on by

D’orc is being followed by an annoyingly large and ominous Dwarf aimed on erasing him from existence. For real. Like with a potion from the Silver Witch. Is that even possible? To permanently be erased from existence? Probably, because magic is real. D’orc faces off against a real threat with a giant hammer. Things will happen that will change his fate forever. Or he’ll get wiped from existence. 50/50 chance on this one.
