  • A Puzzlebox Chapter 1: Step Into the Box · 31 pages

    Batman and the Gotham Police break up a gathering of villains and arrest them all. Once in custody, Gordon and Bullock interview the Joker to determine if he played a role in the murder of the Riddler. In flashback, we see the Riddler pursuing a mysterious box and offering to partner with the Joker, but the Joker turns him down.

Publisher’s description

It’s story time! The G.C.P.D. discover a mysterious corpse, a magical box, and a murderer’s row of the city’s most dangerous villains sitting in a jail cell. Now all they need to figure out is what exactly happened. Fortunately, one suspect is willing to talk. Unfortunately, it’s The Joker. Now, superstar writer Matthew Rosenberg, magnificent artist Jesus Merino, and a multitude of rising-star artists invite you to spend a night in the Gotham Central interrogation room for a dozen tales of murder, mayhem, and mystery as told by the Clown Prince of Crime himself. Can you solve this puzzle before the sun comes up?
