The Alternates have gone through hell trying to solve the mystery of who is bringing Prestige, the interdimensional reality-altering drug, into their world. The answers they’ve uncovered have proven even deadlier than the drug itself, leaving our support group of recovering superheroes with more questions than answers.
Who will live, who will die, and who will relapse?
Also, what’s up with Kid Curious, the child genius hero suffering from post-morality syndrome–is he the key to saving Twilight City… or destroying it?
All will be revealed in the epic, mind-bending conclusion to the first Minor Threats spinoff series.
