Dark Horse Comics presents From the World of Minor Threats: The Alternates, a new superhero series spinning out of the hit Minor Threats!This time, the Minor Threats team explores b-list superheroes who struggle to reclaim their mediocre lives in a support group. Joining Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum on writing duties is Tim Seeley, with illustrations by Christopher Mitten and Tess Fowler, colors by Ian Herring, and lettering by Nate Piekos. Scott Hepburn will provide the main cover art (which will also feature a foil variant), with variant covers by Tim Seeley, Fabio Moon, Martin Simmonds, and more.
Mary the Multi-Monster! The Tripper! Crab Louie! Kid Curious! Persona! Formerly the offbeat b-list superheroes, The Alternates, who seemingly sacrificed themselves to stop an invasion from another dimension. Instead, they were transported to a mirror reality where they lived complex lives in a more four-dimensional existence–expanding both their powers and consciousness. Five years later, they’ve returned to Twilight City, struggling to reacclimate to their old lives in a traditional two-dimensional superhero world–in withdrawal from the vivid ones they left behind. When elements from this alternate reality turn up as a dangerous new street drug, some of the heroes band together to destroy it, while others succumb to its temptation.
The Alternates #1 (of 4) arrives in comic shops September 13, 2023.
