Sadistic Teen Titans, The Action, in Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blumm and Scott Hepburn’s Minor Threats from Dark Horse Comics (Spoilers)

Tomorrow sees the return of Minor Threats from Dark Horse Comics, the superhero series by Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum and Scott Hepburn that they describe as “Watchmen meets The Wire” but also “in the vein of Sin City, Black Hammer, and The Boys”. Oh and Akira cycle slides as well of course,

The solicitation for next month’s issue mentions “the sadistic teen heroes, The Action”, but they’ll first be appearing in tomorrow’s comic. With notes of Invincible, Harley Quinn, Hack/Slash, this is a very different Teen Titans. But there are some similarities..

Minor Threats: Fastest Way Down is published by Dark Horse tomorrow.
