Minor Threats: The Fastest Way Down

From the twisted minds of Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum comes this four-issue Dark Horse miniseries, which flips the superhero script by following the small-time crooks and desperate villains who live in the shadow of the big-name heroes. With Scott Hepburn’s kinetic art bringing the grit and gallows humor to life, The Fastest Way Down explores what happens when a low-level bad guy decides to hang up his mask—only to discover that retirement might be the most dangerous job of all. It’s a fresh, character-driven take on the superhero genre that proves the real action is often just off-panel.
