From the World of Minor Threats: The Brood #3

Set in the richly populated world of Minor Threats, The Brood #3 arrives from Dark Horse in 2025 with a cover that says everything about the stakes — a determined man clutches a small child in a party hat with one hand while conjuring flame with the other, all while a menacing crowd of masked and monstrous figures looms large behind them, a birthday cake and scattered presents lying forgotten in the chaos. Scott Hepburn's cover art balances genuine tension with a darkly absurd domesticity that fits perfectly with the story title "Nothing Hurts Like Family." Writers Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum, and Heath Corson continue their collaboration with I.N.J. Culbard on interiors, making this one of 2025's more intriguing team-book titles on the shelves.
