Gotham City Sirens #20

The Joker looms enormous across this cover, his wide-manic grin dominating the composition as his gloved hands close in on Harley Quinn, Poison Ivy, and Catwoman — three women who look anything but helpless despite the threat surrounding them. Guillem March's cover work is genuinely striking, capturing both the menace and the defiant energy of the trio in a single arresting image. With "Hell Hath No Fury, Part One" kicking things off and Calloway, Guinaldo, and Bachs on the interior, this April 2011 issue promises the kind of dangerous Gotham tension the series does so well.
