Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum’s Minor Threats series is getting the spinoff treatment with the new series From the World of Minor Threats: The Brood. This is the first story set outside Twilight City, this time focusing on Meteor Falls. Heath Corson will be writing the stories this time, with illustrations by I.N.J. Culbard. Issue #1 of The Brood comes to stores December 11, 2024.
Here’s the official description from Dark Horse:
Napoleon Archimedes is the archnemesis of The Searcher, and he’s fought her to a standstill for over four decades in the futuristic metropolis of Meteor Falls. But now, as he confronts his mortality, he’s forced to name a successor from his three extraordinary children: Athena, Benjamin, and Spookshow. Each is brilliant, cunning…and unlucky enough to be the child of the world’s greatest supervillain.
See, Napoleon believed he was smart enough to have it all: that he could raise a family AND conquer the world. Then he thought: why not combine them? Take the kids on as partners. Create a dynasty. …None of it went according to plan. Who will rise above the betrayal, failure, and dysfunction to seize the family business?
This unlikely coming-of-age story wrestles with the concussions and repercussions of getting raised by a once-in-a-generation criminal mind. Think your father is manipulative, cold, and demanding? Wait until you meet Napoleon.
