From the World of Minor Threats: The Brood

In 2024–2025, Dark Horse expanded its "Minor Threats" universe with The Brood, a four-issue miniseries that shifts focus from the original costumed heroes to a family of low-level supervillains trying to survive in a world that doesn't take them seriously. Written by Heath Corson, Jordan Blum, and Patton Oswalt, with moody, expressive art by I. N. J. Culbard, the series explores the gritty, overlooked corners of a superhero-filled city through the eyes of its least glamorous criminals. It matters as a character-driven, street-level spin-off that deepens the world-building of the Minor Threats setting, offering a fresh perspective on the genre's tropes.
