Joker War, one of the most awaited events in DC Comics’ current the line-up was created during the ongoing take on Batman by James Tynion IV. Because of the coronavirus pandemic, which stopped new comics shipping to stores for the months of April and May, the start of that event stalled a bit, though this is now beginning to lift. With the release of new comics, Joker War artist Jorge Jimenez has taken to social media to announce that the first part of Joker War is now released on July 21st, and he even gave us a first look at the awesome cover of the issue that you can see below.

Jimenez also commented that he’ll do all the problems in the series, so you know we’re in some fantastic issues, if you’ve seen his piece on his core Batman novel, with colorist Tomeu Morey.
The cover reveals that Joker fights directly against Batman and that he’s redecorated the Batcave a bit while Bats is gone. It also includes a black and white cover edition that is all in red with the Ha Ha Ha and is pretty slick.
