Minor Threats

Set in a world where costumed heroes and villains are everyday reality, Minor Threats flips the script to focus on the small-time, D-list criminals just trying to get by in the shadows of the big-name super-fights. Written by Jordan Blum and Patton Oswalt with art by Scott Hepburn and colors by Ian Herring, this 2022–2023 Dark Horse miniseries offers a gritty, darkly comedic look at the overlooked underbelly of a superhero universe. It matters for its refreshingly human-scale take on the genre, proving that even the most minor player can have a compelling story.
