Having established herself as one of 2020’s breakout comic book characters, the Joker’s new squeeze Punchline is set to headline her very own one-shot comic this November writers James Tynion IV (Batman) and Sam Johns (DC’s Crimes of Passion) and artists Mirka Andolfo (Harley Quinn) delve into the mystery behind this new villainess.
“Back when I first introduced Punchline, I said many times that this wasn’t going to be a flash in the pan character. That I had big plans for her moving forward, that would drive big story next year and beyond,” says Tynion IV. “Joker War is over, but Punchline’s plans have only just begun. I’m thrilled to be telling this frightening story that expands her past, and sets up her future, with the amazing Sam Johns, and the incredible Mirka Andolfo. This is only the beginning!”
“Fans immediately responded to Punchline, so I’m thrilled to be part of the team that gets to build the foundation of this deadly cult icon,” adds Johns. “Working with such a talented artist as Mirka means we didn’t have to hold back on any of the action, horror, or romance…And when it comes to Punchline and Joker, you often need to pull off all three at once!”
Punchline #1 will go on sale on Tuesday, November 10th.
