Review Quotes

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're looking for a new comic world to explore filled with comedy, crime, generational trauma, and insanely unique superpowers, all drawn with gorgeously detailed art...then this is the comic for you!" --Nerd Initiative on Minor Threats: The Fastest Way Down

"Minor Threats: The Fastest Way Down #1 expands upon one of the most interesting superhero books on the stands, and it isn't afraid to shake things up."--AIPT Comics
