It’s Maleev’s first go-around with DC’s mature readers imprint, and also his first teaming with Azzarello, though both creators have somewhat pulpy, noir-ish sensibilities that seem like they should pair well together.Ĭheck out some interior preview pages featuring Maleev and Hollingsworth’s artwork below. The writer also penned the inaugural Black Label book, Batman: Damned, as well as a Birds of Prey miniseries last year. Suicide Squad: Get Joker is the third Black Label book for Brian Azzarello. The premise of the series also sounds somewhat similar to the excellent current Joker ongoing series by James Tynion IV and Guillem March, in which former GCPD commissioner James Gordon has been hired to hunt down and kill The Joker. This’ll be the second time in recent memory that Jason has been tasked with taking down The Joker, after last year’s sales smash Batman: Three Jokers, and the first time that Waller’s Suicide Squad has been put on the case. Making Red Hood Jason Todd a part of the Suicide Squad is kind of a no-brainer, and it’s surprising it hasn’t been done before, even if it sounds like it’s just temporary for this series. When Task Force X’s Amanda Waller sets her sights on Batman’s greatest foe, she enlists the Dark Knight’s former partner Jason Todd to track down the Clown Prince of Crime and put an end to his mad reign of terror!
