While Minor Threats features the off-kilter sense of humor fans would expect from this creative team, it’s also shaping up to be an unexpectedly dark superhero series. As much as anything else, the series is about what happens when an idyllic, Silver Age-style superhero universe is dragged kicking and screaming into the twisted modern age.
Patton Oswalt is a Grammy and Emmy award-winning writer, actor and comedian, who co-created Marvel’s M.O.D.O.K. with Jordan Blum. He has scripted comics for DC, Marvel and Dark Horse. Minor Threats marks his first foray into creator-owned works. He’s also worked with Scott Hepburn in a 4-issue M.O.D.O.K. series for Marvel, co-written with Jordan Blum.
