From the World of Minor Threats: The Alternates #2

Expanding the world of Minor Threats, this second issue from Dark Horse brings together the creative talents of Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum, and Tim Seeley alongside artists Christopher Mitten and Tess Fowler. Scott Hepburn's cover art delivers a striking split composition: above, a massively built figure in a red costume sits casually in a suburban backyard, while below that mundane scene lurks something far stranger — a hulking insectoid creature looming over a writhing mass of monstrous bodies. The contrast between the everyday setting and the grotesque underworld beneath it sets a wonderfully unsettling tone for what this series does best.
