Retrieved September 1, 2013. Harley Quinn- Her character has always been such a strong one. But in this book all she does is stand in the sidelines coming to the front whenever Joker needs her to spend the night in his bed. Joker by Brian Azzarello is one of these graphic novels you cant take breaks off you will gobble it up in a day. The Bat-Man (with Cliff Chiang, unproduced series intended for publication under the First Wave imprint, then under Vertigo, c. 2010–2011) [34] [35] Make no mistake: Azzarello’s Joker is one earth-shattering force of chaos. He has the unique ability to see all those little “strings” attached to us and our feeble realities, that is, he fully understands the degree to which our lives are determined by social rules and bonds and structures. And he has come to the conclusion that those strings must be cut. After all, who in his right mind would voluntarily transform himself into a mere puppet by becoming a productive member of society? As far as the Joker is concerned, he’d much rather toy with all those little puppets out there, and Lee Bermejo’s detailed artwork ensures that such alternative forms of entertainment look appropriately nasty and disturbing.

Wonder Woman vol. 4 (with Cliff Chiang, Tony Akins (#5–6, 9–10, 13–14, 17–19), Kano (#10), Amilcar Pinna (#17), Goran Sudžuka (#18–20, 24–26, 28, 30–32) and Aco (#23.2), 2011–2014) collected as:

Get it -foreshadowing! You're right. You're right. That's not nearly as funny as I thought it was when I was originally typing it. Sorry. Azzarello began working in comics in 1992, joining Comico as the production coordinator. He was soon promoted to managing editor, before becoming Editor-in-Chief—or, as he was often credited, "line editor"—the position he held from 1993 until the company's demise in 1997. [2] During this period, Azzarello's wife Jill Thompson introduced him to Lou Stathis, an editor at DC Comics' Vertigo who wanted to move away from the light fantasy stories the imprint was known for at the time, and Azzarello was eventually hired as a writer. [1] He contributed short stories to a number of Vertigo's anthology titles and penned Jonny Double, a 4-issue limited series which marked his first collaboration with Argentine artist Eduardo Risso. [3] In August 1999, Azzarello and Risso launched 100 Bullets, a hardboiled noir series for Vertigo. [4] [5] The series ran for one hundred issues, from 1999 to 2009, and was noted for Azzarello's use of regional and local accents, as well as the frequent use of slang and oblique, metaphorical language in his characters' dialogue. Azzarello's other work for Vertigo includes a run on Hellblazer, the 2005 western series Loveless with artist Marcelo Frusin [6] and an original graphic novel Filthy Rich, one of the two titles that launched the Vertigo Crime line in 2009. [7] Includes the "Silencer Night" short story (art by Eduardo Risso) from Vertigo: Winter's Edge #3 (anthology, 2000) Initially announced as a 4-issue limited series titled 3 Floyds: Rise of the Alpha King, to be written by Azzarello solo and intended for publication by Heavy Metal Media.

Bermejo: Still probably a bit too early to talk about the next project in any kind of detail, but I can say that I'm working on another graphic novel for DC and it features prominently some of the main characters. I can also safely say that it is a much different project content-wise than Joker. I wrote this graphic novel so it will be my first foray into stewarding a project completely myself. So far it's been a challenging but extremely exciting endeavor! Glasgow Grin: Joker has a particularly nasty-looking one, and Jonny seems to get one when the Joker shoots him in the face. Both are rather dark and deconstructive takes on the Batman and Superman universes with their respective arch-nemeses acting as Villain Protagonists. Break the Haughty: Jonny, a good way to see it is in the artwork where at the start he is always standing tall next to Joker, smoking a cigarette, pulling his collar, smugly smiling and all but short to flex at people when he enters the room. Near the end he looks scared, aimless and depressed. Stealth Sequel: Batman: Damned actually takes place after this story and reveals the body seen falling at the end of Joker is, in fact, the Clown Prince himself, not Jonny.
