Spinning out of the world of the hit Minor Threats superhero series by Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum, and Scott Hepburn comes a new collection of costumed underdogs—featuring stories by some of the leading creators in comic books.
Twilight City may be home to the Minor Threats but they're not the only down-on-their-luck super villains and heroes struggling to find their way.
Legendary creators Matt Fraction, Mike Allred, Brian Michael Bendis, Soo Lee, Gail Simone, Gene Ha, Gerry Duggan and Mark Torres explore the super-crime-infested streets of Twilight to tell twisted tales of secrets, revenge, love, murder, second chances, and crab people.
Featuring original stories and characters for Minor Threats fans new and old. If you only read one graphic novel about homunculus-faced mobsters this year, make it this one!
Collects From the World of Minor Threats: Welcome to Twilight #1–#4.

Praise for Minor Threats and From the World of Minor Threats:
"The Alternates is the rare comic spinoff that not only continues the magic of its flagship series but manages to work as something unique and accessible. Unsurprisingly, Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum, and Tim Seeley all nail the script, hooking you into the characters and the narrative immediately. Coupled with Christopher Mitten and Tess Fowler's ambitious and scrappy art, this issue is great, plain and simple."—Comicbook.com
"Barfly #1 is a delightful addition to the world of Minor Threats. With its outstanding writing, stunning visuals, and memorable characters this comic is a true work of art. If the next three issues are anything like the premiere issue, we are in for one hell of a ride and is in serious contention for our comic book of the year!"—Capes & Tights
“If you’re looking for a new comic world to explore filled with comedy, crime, generational trauma, and insanely unique superpowers, all drawn with gorgeously detailed art…then this is the comic for you!” —Nerd Initiative on Minor Threats: The Fastest Way Down “Minor Threats: The Fastest Way Down #1 expands upon one of the most interesting superhero books on the stands, and it isn't afraid to shake things up.”—AIPT Comics
