About Minor Threats: The Last Devil Left Alive:
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.
“Frankie Follis’ rags-to-riches-to-ruin-to-vengeance saga comes to its explosive, jaw-dropping conclusion and we can’t wait to see how you react to it,” said Oswalt. “It’s a DOOZY.”
« 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,” added Blum. “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! »
