From the World of Minor Threats: The Alternates
Follow Mary the Multi-Monster, The Tripper, Crab Louie, Kid Curious, and Persona, offbeat b-list superheroes formerly known as The Alternates, who seemingly sacrificed themselves to stop an invasion from another dimension. Instead, they were transported to a mirror reality where they lived complex lives in a more four-dimensional existence, expanding both their powers and consciousness.
Five years later, they’ve returned to Twilight City, struggling to reacclimate to their old lives in a traditional two-dimensional superhero world–in withdrawal from the vivid ones they left behind. When elements from this alternate reality turn up as a dangerous new street drug, some of the heroes band together to destroy it, while others succumb to its temptation.
- Written by Tim Seeley (Masters of the Universe: The Sword of Flaws), Oswalt, and Blum,
- Art by: Christopher Mitten (Hellboy) and Tess Fowler (Kid Lobotomy),
- Colorist by Ian Herring (Welcome to the Maynard), and
- lettering by Nate Piekos (The Umbrella Academy)
