[OSM]

Holy ****, definitely picking these up.

 

[Joker]

I hope that the narration gets literally every fact wrong, in a humorous way. I hope it's just the Joker mocking everyone but himself.

 

[Two-Face]

This is great

 

[RobC]

They look pretty cool.

Agree with The Joker, hope the J-Man's narration is humorous and off-kilter.

 

[The Joker]

This sounds great. And it's nice to see The Penguin getting an issue.

Definitely picking this up.

 

[BubbaGump]

Gorgeous cover.

 

[Nepenthes]

How come I've never heard of any of these "top creators"?


edit : okay Arvid Nelson is the guy who did Rex Mundi, not bad, and David Hine's done X-Men 198, House of M, District X, some Daredevil. They're on Joker and Two-Face respectively. Unfortunatly I'll only be picking up Joker and Ivy and she's stuck with some guy whose major work seems to be in Fathom, great.

 

[Mr. Socko]

Sounds great, beautiful covers. But they're missing the Joker one

 

[The Joker]

Sounds great, beautiful covers. But they're missing the Joker one

And the Two-Face one.

 

[Zumi]

As a rabid Ivy (and arkham asylum in general really) I can't wait for these to come out. July is going to be one hell of a month.

 

[Tvar10]

wow, awesome

 

[Figs]

So these are all one shots each?

I wonder if they'll do a graphic novel with all of them together.

Most definitely. DC isn't going to miss out on a chance to make a couple of bucks.

 

[sclabguy]

awesome!!!!!

 

[Watson]

Wow. These one shots just became my must have comic of the summer. I love the covers so far.

 

[tomstoyz2]

Wow, The artwork is awesome. I especially like the one of Scarecrow...nice!

 

[sclabguy]

the scarecrow one is awesome, don't really care for penguin, since not really a fan, and poison ivy is hot as usual... i can't wait for the joker cover to come out

 

[Tvar10]

the scarecrow kind of looks like the animated series one....its awesome

 

[IRON_Lad]

can't wait!

 

[Nepenthes]

yes I think i'll be buying that

via amazon

 

[SalaciousVC]

^Looks good..But the artist doesn't seem to draw Two-Face very well o_0

 

[The Joker]

Love it! Although, I agree that Two Face doesn't look the best.

 

[Keyser Soze]

OMGZ TEH PANDA EYES~!

 

[Nous]

Is it just me, or does Joker look like Chucky in this?
