Supervillain Comic, Minion, From Critical Entertainment in 2025

Minion by Critical Entertainment founders Mason Mendoza and Christopher Reda, drawn by Leandro Rizzo about the henchmen of a supervillain

Critical Entertainment is a relatively new Los Angeles-based comic book publishing company who have been doing the convention circuit and recently have had comics pop up in Diamond Previews and Lunar's Next Phase, as part of the CEX's solicits. And we have a look ahead at what's coming next year… even if some of the books are rather late. But also announcing Minion for the direct market, by Critical Entertainment founders Mason Mendoza and Christopher Reda, drawn by Leandro Rizzo about the henchmen of a supervillain as they fight for control over futuristic New Manhattan. As to any concern with Minion being quite close to Minions? Well, they got away with Planetary Expansion, did they not?

In the not-too-distant future, the fate of New Manhattan hangs in a delicate balance between long-time, legendary superhero, Captain Cool, and a new underground crime syndicate threatening to take over the city. Forces of good and evil intertwine in this futuristic society where scientific innovation has created super individuals, but even they are still subject to corrupt politicians and a culture where the wealth gap between rich and poor will leave an everyday citizen starving. New recruit Double Zero joins a team of minions who have been put to the demanding task of collecting parts of a doomsday device capable of defeating Captain Cool.
