Reviews

Praise for Minor Threats: “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) ""Minor Threats is, top to bottom, first-class comic-book world-building madness of the highest order.""—Brian Michael Bendis
