“The Reign of Emperor Joker, Part Two: You Say You Want a Revolution?”

Part two of DC's 2000 crossover event "Reign of Emperor Joker" arrives with a cover that says it all: a grinning, crown-wearing Joker draped in royal ermine gleefully proclaims "It's good to be the king!" while a gritted-teeth Superman looms enormous behind him, and a tiny Harley Quinn perches at the Joker's side — cover pencils by Kano with inks by Danny Miki. The dynamic immediately sets the stakes, with the Clown Prince of Crime rendered as an actual monarch and the Man of Steel visibly furious yet seemingly powerless to stop him. Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness are the creative team bringing this delightfully unhinged corner of the DC Universe to life inside.
