The Joker has been mysteriously released from Arkham Asylum, and he's none too happy about what's happened to his Gotham City rackets while he's been "away." Briuan Azzarello and Lee Bermejo bring you the most terrifying Joker tale ever written!

guns and that big mistake that makes it all go wrong." —Chicago
Tribune

best current ongoing series." —Playboy

bookshelf." —MTV.com

Killing Joke." —IGN
