Heath Corson (Animal Kingdom; Batman: Assault on Arkham) discussing his new 4-issue comic, The Brood. Set in the “Minor Threats” universe, The Brood is a story about family, the patriarch of which happens to be a criminal mastermind.
Heath Corson talks about writing from a personal place, how good and evil don't apply to family dynamics, human moments in a comic book world, and more.
And after that, a recording from the Minor Threats universe panel from San Diego Comic Con in July 2024 featuring Minor Threats creators Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum, and Scott Hepburn, writers Heath Corson (The Brood), Gail Simone (Secret Six; Batgirl), Kyle Starks (Barfly; Where Monsters Lie), and artists Ryan Browne (Barfly; Eight Billion Genies), and Soo Yee (The Oddly Pedestrian Life of Christopher Chaos).
With a cameo by Reno 911's Thomas Lennon!
