From the World of Minor Threats: The Alternates

In 2024, Dark Horse expanded the world of Minor Threats with The Alternates, a one-shot comic that shifts focus from the criminal underworld to the city's substitute superhero team. Written by Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum, with art by Christopher Mitten, this issue explores what it means to be a second-string hero in a world where the A-listers overshadow everyone else. A sharp, character-driven addition to the series, it deepens the satirical take on superhero hierarchies without losing the gritty, human edge that defines the property.
