Everyone’s favorite c-list supervillains return in April 3, 2024 in Minor Threats ll: The Fastest Way Down, but you can get hyped up for the series now with a new playlist from Patton Oswalt and Jordan Blum! The hit superhero saga picks up right where it left off with the same creative team: written by Oswalt and Blum, illustrated by Scott Hepburn, colored by Ian Herring, and lettered by Eisner-nominated letterer Nate Piekos.

Frankie Follis, AKA the costumed criminal Playtime, has won. Twilight City’s greatest hero, The Insomniac, and its greatest villain, The Stickman, are dead, allowing Frankie to unify the super crook underworld and assert herself as the Queenpin of Redport. But Frankie is feeling the pressure from every side. Rival gangs are challenging her authority, Scalpel, her consigliere, is pushing her to legitimize her empire, and the act of murdering The Insomniac has broken something deep inside her. Frankie is about to learn the hard way... heavy is the head that wears the supervillain crown.

“Volume 2 is all about the teetering vertigo you feel when you’ve reached a height but suspect you might not belong there," said Oswalt and Blum. "The first two songs illustrate this perfectly — 'Heartbeat Away' is Frankie’s inner doubts, while James Brown’s sparse, bragging-but-rueful masterpiece 'The Boss' is the face she shows the world. Follow her rise — and her battle to stay there — with these new (and classic) hip-hop tracks, New Wave blurts ('Hand In Hand' is a bit of a spoiler, no?) and other songs that tell of the ferocious fury of Frankie Follis. Read, listen, and enjoy!”
