From the World of Minor Threats: Barfly

In 2025, Dark Horse expanded the gritty, off-kilter world of Minor Threats with Barfly, a one-shot comic that shifts focus from costumed crusaders to the seedy, back-alley establishments they haunt. Written by Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum, with art by Scott Hepburn, this issue dives into the dive bars where villains and heroes alike drown their sorrows, offering a character-driven slice of life that enriches the larger, crime-ridden universe. It matters as a compact, atmospheric side story that deepens the series' world-building through a uniquely blue-collar lens.
