From the World of Minor Threats: The Brood

A graphic novel tie-in to the hit Minor Threats comics series written by Patton Oswalt, Heath Corson, and Jordan Blum and drawn by I.N.J. Culbard.

From the world of the hit Minor Threats series comes a family drama starring the planet's most feared villains.

Napoleon Archimedes is the archnemesis of The Searcher, and he's fought her to a standstill for over four decades in the futuristic metropolis of Meteor Falls. But now, as he confronts his mortality, he's forced to name a successor from his three extraordinary children: Athena, Benjamin, and Spookshow. Each brilliant, cunning...and unlucky enough to be the child of the world's greatest supervillain.

See, Napoleon believed he was smart enough to have it all: Raise a family AND conquer the world. Then he thought: Why not combine them? Take the kids on as partners. Create a dynasty...

None of it went according to plan. Who will rise above the betrayal, failure, and dysfunction to seize the family business?

Join us for an unlikely coming-of-age story, that wrestles with the concussions and repercussions of getting raised by a once-in-a-generation criminal mind. Think your father is manipulative, cold and demanding...? Wait until you meet Napoleon.
