Comic Book Preview – John Carpenter’s The Joker: Year of the Villain #1

October 9, 2019 by Amie Cranswick

Halloween and The Thing director John Carpenter turns his hand to the Clown Prince of Crime this week as writer on Joker: Year of the Villain, and you can take a look at a preview of today’s issue here courtesy of DC Comics…

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!

The Joker: Year of the Villain #1 is out now, priced $4.99.
