Dark Horse Comics presents Minor Threats: Welcome to Twilight\u2014Villains and Vignettes<\/i><\/b>, the next four issues in the beloved anthology series exploring the desperate villains, deadbeat heroes, and fallen monsters who call Twilight City home. Each issue will pack a punch, featuring some of the best comic creators in the business!<\/p>\n

In the first issue, featuring covers from Scott Hepburn (Minor Threats<\/i>) and Joe Quinones,\u00a0Mark Waid<\/b>\u00a0(Justice League Unlimited<\/i>, Kingdom Come<\/i>) and\u00a0Scott Kolins<\/b>\u00a0(The<\/i> Flash<\/i>,\u00a0\u2018Patra<\/i>) tell a horrific story of superpowers, fanaticism, and manosphere supplements. Next, Minor Threats<\/i>\u00a0cowriters\u00a0Patton Oswalt<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Jordan Blum<\/b>\u00a0team up with\u00a0Mike Mignola<\/b>\u00a0(Hellboy<\/i>) himself to reveal the tragic origins of the dead kaiju many citizens of Redport call home. Finally, Minor Threats<\/i>\u00a0cocreator\u00a0Scott Hepburn\u00a0<\/b>writes a story with art by\u00a0Cary Nord<\/b>\u00a0(Conan the Barbarian<\/i>) that travels back to Frankie Follis\u2019s past to uncover the true moment Playtime was born. And that\u2019s just the first issue!<\/p>\n

Issues #2-4 will feature the reunion of the legendary team behind\u00a0Justice League International,<\/i> J.M. DeMatteis<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Kevin Maguire<\/b>; another reunion between Rogues Gallery<\/i>\u00a0cocreators,\u00a0Hannah Rose May<\/b>\u00a0and\u00a0Justin Mason<\/b>; and Dan Hernandez<\/b>, screenwriter for Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem<\/i>\u00a0and the upcoming Spaceballs 2: The New One<\/i>, teams up with The Boys<\/i>\u00a0cocreator Darick Robertson<\/b>.<\/p>\n

Here\u2019s what a few of the anthology\u2019s creators had to say about their upcoming stories:<\/p>\n

Jordan Blum:<\/b> \u201cThis volume of\u00a0Welcome to Twilight<\/i>\u00a0was an absolute dream come true, bringing together iconic creators who inspired the comics we write as well as some of the greatest up and coming talent who constantly make us jealous – all unleashing their twisted brains on the world of Minor Threats and populating new corners of our fantastic city. And I don’t use “dream<\/i>” lightly, I’m still not sure we actually got to write a story for Mike friggin’ Mignola. If this was a prank, no one tell me.”<\/p>\n

Hannah Rose May:<\/b> “Two years ago, Patton and Jordan signed a\u00a0Minor Threats<\/i>\u00a0poster for me and invited me to come play in their world. I thought they were kidding, turns out, they weren’t. It’s been such a blast teaming up with them, reuniting with the extraordinary Justin Mason and getting to tell a story in this rich universe. Every supervillain needs a good attorney (or a slightly corrupt one), and that’s exactly what Goldstein & King are. Get ready for objections to be sustained in this all-new story,\u00a0Supervillains at Law<\/i>, from the world of\u00a0Minor Threats<\/i>.”<\/p>\n

J.M. DeMatteis:<\/b>\u00a0\u201cIt\u2019s been an absolute pleasure playing in the\u00a0Minor Threats\u00a0sandbox and adding to the amazing universe Jordan and Patton have created. The icing on the cake has been reuniting with one of my all-time favorite collaborators, the great Kevin Maguire, for the first time in more than a decade\u2014and launching a new (almost\/kinda\/sorta) superhero team. Hope everyone enjoys\u00a0The Superlatives<\/i>.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mark Waid:<\/b> \u201cI was flattered to be asked to participate, knowing what a murderers row of talent has already played\u00a0in the\u00a0Minor Threats\u00a0sandbox. To be paired once more with Scott Kolins was an even bigger thrill. Our story is about the Alex Jones of the MT Universe–a sleazebag selling supplements that’ll give you powers–and a very dissatisfied customer and, boy, was it fun to write.\u201d<\/p>\n

Scott Kolins:<\/b>\u00a0“This trashy story about trashy people was all sorts of trashy fun. Damn you, Waid. Really hope we get to do it again!”<\/p>\n

Dan Hernandez:\u00a0<\/b>\u201cThe opportunity to work in the\u00a0Minor Threats\u00a0universe alongside\u00a0a pantheon of comic book rising superstars and all-time\u00a0legends, including my friend and collaborator Darick Robertson, is beyond my wildest, nerdiest fantasies. Writing\u00a0Minor Threats\u00a0is like being given permission to speed on the highway, to do everything you\u2019ve ever wanted to do as a creator no matter how crazy or reckless. All gas, no brakes.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

Minor Threats: Welcome to Twilight\u2014Villains and Vignettes<\/i><\/b>\u00a0#1<\/b>\u00a0(of 4) will be available in comic shops on October 28, 2026. It is now available for preorder from your local comic shop<\/a>\u00a0for $4.99.<\/p>\n

Praise for<\/b> From the World of Minor Threats: Welcome to Twilight:<\/i><\/b><\/p>\n

“There hasn\u2019t been a bad title from the Dark Horse Comics\u00a0Minor Threats<\/i>\u00a0universe yet. And great news,\u00a0From the World of Minor Threats: Welcome to Twilight<\/i>\u00a0#1 doesn\u2019t break that trend, thanks to an expertly crafted issue by Matt Fraction and Mike Allred.”\u2014Comic Book Club Live for From the World of Minor Threats: Welcome to Twilight<\/i><\/p>\n

\u201cThis bizarre character study is a great entry point for readers who are new to Minor Threats<\/i>. One of the most wonderfully strange universes in comics just got even more interesting.”\u2014AIPT Comics for From the World of Minor Threats: Welcome to Twilight<\/i><\/p>\n

“The world of\u00a0Minor Threats<\/i>\u00a0never ceases to amaze me. This past summer, they made me fall in love with a giant fly man, and now I\u2019m rooting for a Miami Vice who has been with giant nonfunctioning wings who\u2019s up against someone who is literally two-faced (and not in the way you would expect). If you still haven\u2019t encountered the world that is\u00a0Minor Threats,<\/i>\u00a0it\u2019s time to dive head first into the fun and chaos with\u00a0Welcome to Twilight<\/i>\u00a0#1.”\u2014Nerd Initiative for From the World of Minor Threats: Welcome to Twilight<\/i><\/p>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
