Minor Threats: The Fastest Way Down #1

Minor Threats: The Fastest Way Down kicks off in style with this 2024 Dark Horse series from writers Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum, with art by Scott Hepburn. The cover says it all — a masked figure in a green jacket lounges on a throne atop a heap of defeated heroes and villains alike, cash raining down and fires burning in the cityscape behind them, while two costumed figures flank the scene with an almost casual indifference. Hepburn's linework crackles with energy, and the whole image promises a story that plays the superhero world from a delightfully sideways angle.
