From the World of Minor Threats: The Alternates #1 by Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum, Tim Seeley, Christopher Mitten, Tess Fowler, Ian Herring, and Nate Piekos is now available in comic shops! See what people are saying:
“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
“Issue 1 is off to a superb start, in this second outing in the Minor Threats world, as the creative team riffs off the weird B-list here trope to superb effect with a script that presents gloriously three dimensional characters, relatable characters brought to life by wonderfully stylish art and an excellent script that maintains the standard set by the first volume of the series.”-Comic Watch
“The Alternates #1 is a fantastic beginning to a new mini-series set in the Minor Threats universe. The characters are fascinating and it’s great to see another corner of this universe explored.”-Comic Book Dispatch
“From stunning artwork to intriguing world-building, The Alternates #1 is a comic book worth reading. It’s a fresh take on the superhero genre that will have readers coming back for more.”- Capes & Tights
“If you enjoyed Minor Threats, The Alternates is a worthy sequel that expands the same universe. And if you haven’t enjoyed Minor Threats (which just came out in TP), it will still appeal to anyone who enjoys tales of weird heroes in a world they never made!The artwork equals the story, evoking the spirit of 1990s Vertigo in every panel.”-Kabooooom!
“This B-squad has A+ potential.”-AIPT Comics
“It’s a relatable monster story with pie.”-Nerd Initiative
“All in all, The Alternates throws a lot around before it finds a purpose, but it’s never incoherent, and the 90s Vertigo vibes are present in full!”-Comics Beat
