The Joker #5
In "Year One," Cullen Row finds himself at odds with his friends over their fascination with the enigmatic Punchline, while Harper seeks guidance from her father on a daring prison break—only to be warned that Punchline may already be pulling strings from within. Written by Sam Johns and James Tynion IV, with all interior art, inks, and colors by Sweeney Boo, this issue unfolds with sharp tension and a creeping sense of unease. The cover, by Guillem March, captures the eerie, stylized atmosphere of a world where the line between inmate and architect blurs.
