THE ALTERNATES #2

Writer: Patton Oswalt, Tim Seeley, Jordan Blum

Artist: Christopher Mitten, Tess Fowler

Spinning out of the world of the hit Minor Threats superhero series by Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum, and Scott Hepburn comes a new tale of costumed underdogs--featuring a support group for superheroes, struggling to reclaim their mediocre lives after tasting their true potential.

For a brief time in an alternate world he was a god, an elemental avatar to all of crustacean-kind, but now the man-monster known as Crab Louie is back home. Here he's a distant husband and a fumbling father who can't even remember to take the trash cans out. But now his team, The Alternates, have a new lead on the dangerous reality-altering street drug, Prestige, offering Crab Louie either a second chance at superherodom, or a permanent escape from humdrum life. 

Co-written by Hack/Slash's Tim Seeley and featuring artwork by Christopher Mitten (Hellboy) and Tess Fowler (Kid Lobotomy)!
