Dark Horse Comics announced that the next installment of the Minor Threats series, The Last Devil Left Alive, will arrive in October.
Minor Threats: The Last Devil Left Alive is a five-issue mini-series written by Patton Oswalt and Jordon Blum, with art by Scott Hepburn.
Frankie Follis a.k.a the supervillain Playtime has hit rock bottom. Her criminal empire was left in ruins after her ex-lover, Scalpel’s, betrayal. The secret deal she cut with the superhero team The Continuum was exposed along with her secret identity—forcing Frankie to flee and disappear off the grid. Three years later, she’s resurfaced, recruiting friend and foe alike to help her uncover a secret that threatens Twilight City.
“This series feels like the culmination of everything we’ve been building since the first Minor Threats, as well as all subsequent sequels and spin-offs,” said Blum in a press release from Dark Horse Comics. “Frankie has had a rise and fall in the super-crime underworld of Twilight City, but her luck may have finally run out. Somehow this is the biggest story we’ve ever told while also being a back-to-basics. It’s Frankie underground, assembling a group of new and old c-list villains to pull off an impossible mission. The Minor Threats work best as underdogs and this is them with their backs against the wall. Not only will Frankie have to come to terms with her supervillain career, she’ll also have to face all her broken relationships with Maggie, Scalpel, Pigeon Pete, the Searcher and more. This is the end of the road for a lot of our costumed crooks – so put on your domino masks and suit up for one last job. It’s gonna get bloody!”
Minor Threats: The Last Devil Left Alive #1 arrives on October #1.
