By: Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum | Illustrator: Scott Hepburn | Series: Minor Threats
The hit creator-owned comics series from Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum, showrunners of Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. on HULU and and superstar artist Scott Hepburn (Tom Morello’s Orchid), comes this graphic crime drama about superheroes and villains and the last gasp of the colorful innocent days of the silver and bronze age before they’re dragged into the grit-soaked modern era.
Minor Threats is now optioned for adaptation on Netflix and this debut library edition collects the first two series in a deluxe hardcover format.
Minor Threats volumes 1 and 2 witnesses the rise and fall of Twilight City's first costumed criminal queenpin Playtime a.k.a. Frankie Follis.
A second-generation supervillain, Frankie is looking for a fresh start and to escape the life of crime that was thrust upon her since childhood. But when The Stickman, Twilight's A-list villain, kills the sidekick to its a-list hero, The Insomniac, all hell breaks loose. No one feels it more than the blue-collar D-list hoods who are being rounded up by the Insomniac's superhero teammates on The Continuum, turning the city into a police state. Frankie decides to seemingly put on the mask one last time, assembling a team of fellow bottomfeeders as they venture out on the most dangerous night of the year to collect the bounty on the Stickman's head and bring him down themselves.
After upending the status quo between heroes and villains, Frankie decides to embrace her super criminal past and ascend the ranks as she builds her empire. But heavy is the head that wears the crown as new threats emerge from every corner. Rival villain gangs are instigating a turf war while Frankie's consigliere/lover Scalpel is pressuring her to legitimize her growing business. The Action, a sociopathic group of superhero sidekicks have come to Twilight, looking to uncover secrets that could unravel the very nature of Frankie's power. Can Frankie hold on? Or will the former D-lister turned crime boss lose it all?
