This deluxe library edition hardcover features the complete The Alternates miniseries and the full Barfly saga, along with a sketchbook section and pinups from some of comics’ leading artists.

Praise for From the World of Minor Threats Library Edition Volume 1

"Minor Threats is exactly what one would expect from Patton Oswalt—it's intelligent, funny, and twisted.  I’m also worried about him."—Judd Apatow

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

“Smart, sharp world building about someone looking to be better than they are, better than where they’re from, better than who they were supposed to be. All rendered beautifully by Scott and Ian doing some of their finest work. Oh, and the supervillains? More celebration than deconstruction. I can’t wait to see what’s next for Frankie.”—Kyle Higgins (Radiant Black, Batman: Gates of Gotham)

“A giddy romp through the filthy back alleys of super hero town. Patton and Jordan lovingly subvert the capes genre.”—Rick Remender (The Sacrificers, Deadly Class)

"Minor Threats is, top to bottom, first-class comic-book world-building madness of the highest order."—Brian Michael Bendis


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
