“City on Fire”

In "City on Fire," Batman faces a holiday season gone mad as the Joker's nationwide chaos escalates, pitting him against the Russian Mob, a mysterious new threat named Santa Klaus—who claims to know who’s been good or bad—and a city on the brink. Written by Ed Brubaker and illustrated by Scott McDaniel, with inks by Aaron Sowd and colors by Roberta Tewes and Wildstorm FX, this "Joker: Last Laugh" tie-in delivers a dark, layered thriller. The cover, by Bill Sienkiewicz, captures the issue’s eerie, festive dread.
