I'd be lying if I said DC Comics didn't completely blow me away with their June release schedule. I said as much on the AIPT Comics Podcast when I said it's almost a shock to see how many comics are coming out each week, too. It's like the pandemic will be long behind us by then, but then DC revealed their July schedule and I'm even more in love with the publisher.

It has been three months to the day since the last issue of Joker/Harley: Criminal Sanity, and the wait has been excruciating. Kami Garcia is tackling a different kind of Harley Quinn who is a detective on the hunt for Joker -- a villain who is just starting up -- that is wrapped up in a procedural narrative filled with grotesque killings. The Joker is finding his footing as a murderer and he does so via artistic displays of his victims. In a Gotham not yet graced with Batman, Harley may be its citizens' only hope.

There isn't an arch-nemesis as exciting and more perfect for their hero than the Joker. Maybe it's because he's the ideal opposite and foil visually, or perhaps it's just because he embodies the craziness in us all. Either way, he's undoubtedly one of the most despicable villains out there, especially when you consider his acts in Alan Moore and Brian Bolland's The Killing Joke or in Jim Starlin and Jim Aparo's Death in the Family. But what if those acts weren't in the name of evil, but for the greater good? The greater good in the Joker's mind is the perfect Batman.

Revisiting movies can be a risky proposition. When first leaving the theater, feelings tend to be exaggerated. Bad films fall into the realm of terrible. Initially, they may even seem like a contender for worst movie of the year. The same goes for good movies. A movie you liked a lot, can turn into one that is a source of constant praise and recommendations.
