Exclusive Barfly #1 Preview for Minor Threats Spin-off Comic

SuperHeroHype is excited to debut the From the World of Minor Threats: Barfly #1 preview for the upcoming spin-off series from Dark Horse Comics.

“The Lower Lair bar is home to all sorts of supervillains, lowlifes, and scumbags… but only one of them has to puke digestive fluids onto his food to eat. $#!%eater, the humanoid mutant fly, is a loser–a lifelong minion who lives to serve his criminal master. But what happens to a henchman when he no longer has anyone left to hench for? ” reads the official description

The four-issue series sees comic book legend Kyle Starks (Where Monsters Lie) join the team of Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum as a writer for the book, which is described as “a feel-good, coming-of-age series about an insect monster-man searching for his identity in the criminal underworld of Twilight City.” The artwork for the series is done by Ryan Browne (Eight Billion Genies), with lettering done by Nate Piekos (Minor Threats). The first issue features main cover art by Minor Threats co-creator Scott Hepburn, with variant covers featuring art by Browne, Martín Morazzo, Dan Hipp (1:10 ratio), and David Mack.

“I’m so excited to be invited to add to the tapestry that is the wonderful, superpowered world of Minor Threats that Jordan Blum and Patton Oswalt have brought to comics,” said Starks. “To get to do it with incredible, unequaled Ryan Browne is an unbelievable cherry on top of an already delicious great comic ice cream sundae.  I truly think people are going to fall in love with the lovable loser Sh*teater  – a sweet little fella who’s just trying to find his place in the world after years of being a nameless minion!”

From the World of Minor Threats: Barfly #1 will be available in comic shops on July 10, 2024. It is now available to pre-order for $4.99. The spin-off series will last for four issues.
