Reviews

I was hooked from the first page! Minor Threats is delicious, villainous dark pop that churns up the world of the marginalized and serves up a decadent and dangerous feast, all presented in glorious bombastic visual eye-fuckery that has re-ignited my love of comics. At last, something cool in a world where nothing is cool.Taika Waititi

"Minor Threats is exactly what one would expect from Patton Oswaltit's intelligent, funny, and twisted. Im also worried about him."Judd Apatow

"Minor Threats is a hardcore blast from the bad brain of Patton Oswalt. I love the full-on collision of his grimy, superhero underworld; with eye-poppingly gorgeoussplash pages of art by Scott Hepburn. A naughty peek under the cape that you'll devour like contraband."Edgar Wright
