The Joker is set to take centre stage this coming March as DC Comics launches a new ongoing monthly series about the Clown Prince of Crime from Batman writer James Tynion IV and artist Guillem March.
“When I was approached by DC about the concept of an ongoing series spotlighting The Joker, I thought, ‘What would that book even look like?,’” said Tynion. “I’m excited to share this story in a way that honors everything that a series about The Joker can be, while coming at if from an exciting, unexpected angle. I’m also thrilled to continue working with Sam johns and Mirka Andolfo to expand the Punchline story we began in November as a back-up feature in this new ongoing Joker series. The Joker War was only the beginning of the terror and mayhem we’re creating!”
