Description: "Minor threats volumes 1 and 2 [witness] 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"--
Review Quotes: "Minor Threats is exactly what one would expect from Patton Oswalt--it's intelligent, funny, and twisted. I'm also worried about him."--Judd Apatow
"I was hooked from the first page! Minor Threats is delicious, villainous dark pop that churns up the world of the marginalized and serves up a decadent and dangerous feast, all presented in glorious bombastic visual eye-fuckery that has re-ignited my love of comics. At last, something cool in a world where nothing is cool."--Taika Waititi "Minor Threats is a hardcore blast from the bad brain of Patton Oswalt. I love the full-on collision of his grimy, superhero underworld; with eye-poppingly gorgeous splash pages of art by Scott Hepburn. A naughty peek under the cape that you'll devour like contraband."--Edgar Wright "Smart, sharp world building about someone looking to be better than they are, better than where they're from, better than who they were supposed to be. All rendered beautifully by Scott and Ian doing some of their finest work. Oh, and the supervillains? More celebration than deconstruction. I can't wait to see what's next for Frankie."--Kyle Higgins (Radiant Black, Batman: Gates of Gotham) "A giddy romp through the filthy back alleys of super hero town. Patton and Jordan lovingly subvert the capes genre."-- Rick Remender (The Sacrificers, Deadly Class)
