Minor Threats Library Edition Volume 1

From Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum, the hit creator-owned comics series Minor Threats returns with a library edition that collects the first two chapters of Twilight City's criminal underworld, illustrated by Scott Hepburn. This graphic crime drama blends superheroes and villains into a grittier, neon-lit tale of power, ambition, and the price of fame. Follow Frankie Follis, a second-generation would-be queenpin known as Playtime, as she leaves the life of crime behind only to be pulled back into perilous schemes after The Stickman, Twilight City's top villain, kills the sidekick of The Insomniac. The city spirals toward a police-state crackdown as rival gangs, power-hungry allies, and a motley crew of underworld misfits chase a dangerous bounty. The work is a creator-owned saga that expanded into a broader universe and has been optioned for Netflix; this deluxe hardcover collects the early arcs that set the tone for the series.
