Stories

  • Year of the Villain: The Joker · 30 pages

    Joker escapes from Arkham and takes a young mentally disturbed man as his sidekick, and they dress as Batman and Robin and patrol Gotham to stop "crimes".

Publisher’s description

In the Year of the Villain, what's a Clown Prince of Crime to do when the world has started to accept doing bad as the only way to live? Out-bad everyone else, of course! The Joker is on a mission to get his mojo back and prove to the world that there is no greater villainy than the kind that leaves you laughing. This special one-shot is co-written by legendary film auteur John Carpenter (The Thing, Halloween) and Anthony Burch (the Borderlands video games), making for a Joker comic that's twisted in ways you never imagined!
