MATT FRACTION, BRIAN MICHAEL BENDIS, GAIL SIMONE, GERRY DUGGAN, MIKE ALLRED, GENE HA, AND MORE ALL-STAR CREATORS ADD THEIR FLAIR TO THE WORLD OF MINOR THREATS IN NEW ANTHOLOGY, “WELCOME TO TWILIGHT”
A new tie-in series featuring new and familiar characters
Dark Horse Comics presents From the World of Minor Threats: Welcome to Twilight, a four-issue anthology series exploring the down-on-their luck supervillains and heroes that call Twilight City home. Each issue will focus on a different character both familiar and new as seen through the eyes of legendary comic creators like Matt Fraction, Michael Allred, Brian Michael Bendis, Soo Lee, Gail Simone, Gene Ha, Gerry Duggan, and Mark Torres. These stories are created in collaboration with Minor Threats co-creators Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum. Issue #1 arrives March 2025 and includes cover art by Scott Hepburn and variant cover art by Michael Allred.
Written by Matt Fraction (Sex Criminals, Hawkeye), illustrated by Michael Allred (Silver Surfer, Madman), colored by Laura Allred, and lettered by Nate Piekos (Minor Threats, Black Hammer), Welcome to Twilight #1 follows washed-up, bird-winged actor Benjamin “Brock” Bronkowicz who isn’t a superhero, but played one on TV. Now Brock spends his time on the superhero convention circuit – trying to cash in on his fleeting fame, drinking away his problems as he fades into obscurity. But a chance encounter with a mysterious woman empowers Brock to fight for a life he once thought was over. Can Brock learn to fly again? Or will his vices and the ruthless gangsters on his tail clip his wings for good?
Issue #2 will be written by Brian Michael Bendis (Masterpiece, Jinxworld) and illustrated by Soo Lee (Carmilla: The First Vampire, The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos), issue #3 will be written by Gail Simone (Uncanny X-Men, Women of Marvel) and illustrated by Gene Ha (Wonder Woman Historia: The Amazons), and issue #4 will be written by Gerry Duggan (Timing/Luck, Falling in Love on the Path to Hell) and illustrated by Mark Torres (Phantom on the Scan, Cold Spots). Stay tuned for more details on these issues!
From the World of Minor Threats: Welcome to Twilight #1 arrives in stores on March 12, 2025. It is now available to pre-order from your local comic shop for $4.99.
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 love comics filled with humor, action, toxic parents, and a lovable little giant fly man with no wings, then this is the comic for you.”—Nerd Initiative
