"The Dark Knight faces off against his most villainous adversary — The Joker — in this 5-issue miniseries written and illustrated by Sam Kieth (SCRATCH, The Maxx)! Kieth weaves a dark tale of violence and mayhem, and how heroes are treated by the media and viewed by the public. As Batman and The Joker face off, their confrontation is inadvertently caught on film — and Gotham's protector appears to be pummeling Joker without mercy, much to the delight of the frenzied press! Plus, a secret from young Bruce Wayne's past is revealed!" -- DC

The time sequence between these two is a little ambiguous, but best I can tell, JLA Annual #5 comes first.
When last we left the League, J’Onn and Fire were screaming at Guy, Guy was depressed and pushing Ice away, Beetle was depressed and injured, General Glory was ineffective, and Max just had to top everyone else by getting shot. ( Rich people always make it all about THEM, don’t they? )

"What a thrill it is to write Jessica Jones. The original Bendis and Gaydos run is legendary, the Kelly Thompson and Mattia de Iulis books are amazing, and Jessica is on TV again. It is the Year of Jessica Jones for the 25th year in a row, let's go. It's not often you get to witness the birth of an iconic character in your lifetime, and it's even rarer when you get to write them too. She's relentless, sharp, and sarcastic as hell, three things we all need in 2001 and 2026. All love to Bendis and Gaydos; they really snapped with Jessica Jones." -- Sam Humphries

Mod Post: Off-Topic Tuesday
7 Apr 2026 10:03icon_uk posting in scans_dailyIn the comments to these weekly posts (and only these posts), it's your chance to go as off topic as you like.
Talk about non-comics stuff, thread derail, and just generally chat among yourselves.
The intent of these posts is to chat and have some fun and, sure, vent a little as required. Reasoned debate is fine, as always, but if you have to ask if something is going over the line, think carefully before posting please.
Normal board rules about conduct and behaviour still apply, of course.
It's been suggested that, if discussing spoilers for recent media events, it might be advisable to consider using the rot13 method to prevent other members seeing spoilers in passing.
The world situation is the world situation. If you're following the news, you know it as much as I do, if you're not, then there are better sources than scans_daily. But please, no doomscrolling, for your own sake.
The Artemis II mission continues to be a moving and powerful testament to human capability, with some amazing visuals, and some reassuring human touches like naming one of the newly discovered features on the dark side of the moon after the Commander's late wife, and also how to deal with MS Outlook running two instances when you only want one.
Back on Earth, the President of the USA celebrated Easter by using expletives on a social media post, whilst at the same time threatening what are legally war crimes against the civilian infrastructure of Iran, AND mocking Islam. Not a trifecta I had hoped to ever see.
And whilst my personal interest in football (soccer for American readers) remains negligible, I can respect fannish obsession, and this definitely qualifies!

Content warning for fat-shaming and, oh, just a boatload of failure to move past childhood trauma.
With the upcoming “Breakdowns” storyline and their upcoming exit, Giffen and DeMatteis (and Jones) got interested in destructive themes. But “Breakdowns” will be about throwing external issues at the Leaguers. JLA #52, “The Battle of the

This was a bit of a mini-saga online last year. An artist did a comic that was somewhat controversial and it resulted in other artists doing their own takes on it.

Bu-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dee-dooWAAAA-WAAA, bu-doo DADADADADADUM, DA-DUM! Okay, we'll get to the Seinfeldian part a bit later. ( In a parallel universe, teleporter Kramer can enter any space abruptly, bad dancer Elaine can shatter mountains with her movements, liar George can manipulate the perception of truth until an enemy’s mind collapses, and observational comedian Jerry…sums it all up in a pithy way that leaves you feeling smarter than everyone else. )

Warning for animal abuse, homelessness, trans issues (sometimes handled with offensive cluelessness), and implied child sexual abuse. Not all in the same story, though, this ain’t Crossed.
“Frenzy” by Mark Waid and Rod Wigham is a tense sci-fi thriller with a dynamite elevator pitch: Which of these six trapped heroes will kill the other five?
( You might think the answer is ‘‘obviously Guy Gardner,’’ but maybe that’s just what they want you to think. )
