MINOR THREATS FASTEST WAY DOWN #1 CVR B ALLRED

The hit superhero saga that’s Watchmen meets The Wire returns from Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum, showrunners of Marvel’s  M.O.D.O.K on HULU, and superstar artist Scott Hepburn (Tom Morello’s Orchid).    Frankie Follis AKA the costumed criminal Playtime has won. Twilight  City’s greatest hero The Insomniac and its greatest villain The  Stickman are dead, allowing Frankie to unify the super crook underworld  and assert herself as the Queenpin of Redport. But Frankie is feeling  the pressure from every side. Rival gangs are challenging her  authority, Scalpel her consigliere is pushing her to legitimize her  empire, and the act of murdering The Insomniac has broken something deep  inside her. Frankie is about to learn the hard way . . . heavy is the  head that wears the supervillain crown.    In the vein of Sin City, Black Hammer, and The Boys,  this noir-ish superhero caper, focuses on a lower-class kind of  criminal, similar to the Coen Bros most pulpy films, but set in a high  concept world of heroes and villains.
