Punchline: The Gotham Game #6

The finale of "The Gotham Game" arrives with a cover that delivers exactly what the issue's own cover copy cheekily promises — the Joker, wild-eyed and grinning, crashing into Punchline's world as the two clash dramatically above the Gotham skyline. Punchline stands her ground in her striking purple and white costume, looking genuinely shaken by her uninvited guest, while the Clown Prince of Crime lunges forward in his rumpled yellow-and-purple suit, green hair flying, with a manic energy that makes it clear he's been waiting six issues for this moment. Cover artist Gleb Melnikov brings a kinetic, almost breathless energy to the confrontation, making this a fittingly charged send-off to the series.
