Art

The art for Minor Threats The Last Devil Left Alive continues to be beautifully dark, gross, and fun. My favorite little fly dude got a moment in the sun, and it was hilarious and perfect. Meanwhile, we see new characters and powers creating a whole new world of amazing art. With so much going on in this issue, the lettering had to be spot on to keep the flow, action, and story going, and it nailed it as well.

While every story I have read in the world of Minor Threats has been awesome, I would recommend these comics solely for the art. Fortunately, it truly is the best of both worlds.

We’re building up to a conclusion for Minor threats: The Last Devil Left Alive. A lot of different characters from across the different comics have come together. Desperate times.
