Gerry Duggan, one of the anthology’s contributors, has a long-standing friendship with Oswalt. Their shared love of noir inspired Duggan’s issue. “A ‘cleaner’ in a superhero universe is such a fertile place to tell a story,” Duggan said. “We’re giving our lead some very real problems to deal with—it’s a privilege to collaborate in this shared universe.”
With its unique focus on underdog characters and subgenre exploration, the Minor Threats universe is a vibrant, ever-expanding playground for creators and fans alike. As Oswalt and Blum continue to shape this grand design, the possibilities are as limitless as the universe itself.
