Dark Horse Books From the World of Minor Threats The Alternates Paperback
Spinning out of the hit Minor Threats superhero series created by Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum and Scott Hepburn comes a new tale of costumed underdogs a support group for superheroes struggling to reclaim their ordinary lives after tasting their true potential.

When fragments of that alternate reality appear as a dangerous new street drug, some heroes resist while others fall to temptation. Illustrated by Tess Fowler (Rat Queens) and Christopher Mitten (Hellboy, 30 Days of Night), with pinups by Fabio Moon, Tony Fleecs, Ryan Browne, Martin Simmonds and more, this collection brings the struggles of flawed superheroes into sharp, emotional focus.
