Barkham Asylum preview

Barkham Asylum gave Two-Face a kitty named Flip and I hold this fact in my mind at all times.

Out this week: Barkham Asylum (DC, $12.99): 

This new young adult graphic novel is about Batman’s villains’ pets — specifically the Joker’s dog, Jester, who teams up with a stray cat named Penny while locked up in Barkham Asylum to investigate what a Shar Pei named Dr. Hugo Mange is really up to. Yehudi Mercado, creator of the recent Shazam! Thundercrack, is wrote and drew this one.

“Barkham Asylum” Follows Super-Villains’ Pets

DC Comics has announced a new middle-grade graphic novel following the pooches and pets of Gotham’s Super-Villains. Barkham Asylum hails from writer and artist Yehudi Mercado.

“When the Super-Villains of Gotham get thrown into Arkham Asylum, their henchpets go to the maximum-security pound known as Barkham Asylum. Fur flies when Jester, The Joker’s dog, gets a tough-talking stray cat named Penny tossed into lockup with him. But they’ll have to work together to figure out what the evil Dr. Hugo Mange is up to. And the only way to stop this terrifying team-up is to win the talent show and get visitation with their masters at Arkham on the hill. Because the Joker is sure to help! What could go wrong with that plan?” (DC Comics)

Barkham Asylum goes on sale on February 6, 2024.

Barkham asylum #2024

[marshmyers]

Who's a good boy? 

Jester is. Well, he wants to be. Maybe he is? He's the Joker's dog so of course he's funny, but his sense of humor is about to be put to the test. Because when the super-villains of Gotham get thrown into Arkham, their henchpets go to the maximum-security pound known as Barkham Asylum. 

Being the Clown Prince of Crime's dog doesn't win him any friends behind bars, especially after he gets a tough-talking stray cat named Penny tossed into lockup with him. But they'll have to work together to figure out what the evil Warden Shar Pei's helper, Dr. Hugo Mange, is up to. And the only way to stop this terrifying team-up is to win the talent show and get visitation with their masters at Arkham on the hill. Because the Joker is sure to help! What could go wrong with that plan? And where does Gotham's premier playboy Bruce Wayne's butler Alfred fit in?

DC’s going to the dogs in ‘Barkham Asylum’

The all-ages graphic novel will feature the pets of some of Batman’s greatest villains.

[doamarierose-honoka]

DC has announced plans for mainstream comics' biggest open-house of the year - of course, we're talking about Free Comic Book Day. Of the DC books planned, there's one where the lack of information only makes it more intriging - not even a title, creators, a cover, and only barely a sysnopsis - making it seem intentionally eye-catching.

Alongside Free Comic Book Day releases previewing upcoming graphic novels Barkham Asylum and Barda — and a third release for MAD Magazine (which is described by DC in part by saying “it is cheaper than the usual CHEAP! Because it is FREE,” which I adore), there’s an issue currently with the placeholder name “DC’s Major Event of 2024 FCBD Special Edition.” If that’s not enough to draw attention, the official description of the issue probably is.

“The prelude to the biggest DC comic book event of 2024 will drop on May 4 at all participating retailers,” it begins. “It’s a story 30 years in the making... and in this special Free Comic Book Day tale, an original story leading into a new series launching summer 2024, the final domino to fall—the final brick on the wall—in an epic scheme comes tumbling down, and the DC Universe will never be the same. More details coming soon! No spoilers here!”

Unpicking this description is simultaneously easy and… well, less than easy. The mention of a “final brick on the wall” and the mention of it being related to a big comic book event is almost certainly a sign that the story will be in some way related to the company’s Trinity of Evil storyline, which puts Amanda Waller in the spotlight — a character whose nickname is, of course, The Wall.

That said, “a story 30 years in the making” is a fascinating tease to drop. Back in 1994, the biggest DC events were the end of the ‘Reign of the Supermen’ storyline, Hal Jordan’s fall from grace in ‘Emerald Twilight,’ and Zero Hour: Crisis in Time, which saw the DC Universe rebooted from scratch for a second time in a decade. Could this new event be spinning out of one of those fan-favorite comics? Or could it be something far less obvious? 1994 was also a year that saw the launch of the acclaimed Starman series from James Robinson and Tony Harris, for example, as well as the debut of 'forgot' Justice League member Triumph. Could a more obscure comic hold the key?

Whatever the answer, it’s almost guaranteed that we’re not going to find out anytime soon. Free Comic Book Day 2024 isn’t until May 4, 2024. Until then, keep your eyes on Popverse as we continue to track down just what is going on as the Trinity of Evil spreads across the DCU…
