Minor Threats

A taut two-issue series from Dark Horse, Minor Threats (2023–present) flips the superhero genre by focusing on the small-time crooks and henchmen who populate a world of capes and villains. Written by Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum with art by Scott Hepburn, this miniseries explores the gritty, often overlooked underbelly of a city where even the most minor player can tip the scales. It matters for its fresh perspective on the classic crime-fighting narrative, giving voice to the powerless in a landscape dominated by icons.
