In an exclusive announcement from AIPT, courtesy of Dark Horse Comics, it was revealed that Minor Threats, the superhero mystery caper from Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum, will be expanding with From the World of Minor Threats: The Brood #1. This spin-off series releasing in December will be the first set outside Twilight City and will instead show off the futuristic metropolis, Meteor Falls. Heath Corson (Animal Kingdom, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe) is writing the story with art by I.N.J Culbard (Tales from the Umbrella Academy: You Look Like Death, Salamandre), and letters by Minor Threats veteran Nate Piekos. There will be several variant covers for The Brood #1 by Scott Hepburn (available in both standard and foil covers), I.N.J. Culbard, John K. Snyder lll, Christian Ward (1:10 incentive variant), and one more to be revealed later.
“The two major influences were Succession and then Wes Anderson’s Royal Tenenbaums, which you can very much see in Ian’s art and color palette,” said Corson. “The idea came when I was watching the film and thinking: What if this was the continuing story of Gene Hackman’s Lex Luthor? What if he married Ms. Teschmacher, had three children, and tried to raise them in the family business? So, Napleon’s brood was always his big idea: Have a dynasty. Eventually, you’ll outlive the heroes… AND WIN.”
From the World of Minor Threats: The Brood #1 will go on sale December 11th, 2024, and goes on FOC October 21st. You can check it out along with other books in the Minor Threats world below:
