The First Rule of Fright Club is... BOO!

It's that time again; prepare for another Batman title! The credits are listed incorrectly on-line and are as follows: Written by John Sazaklis, Illustrated by Andy Smith, Colors by Jeremy Roberts and Cover by Rick Farley. Everyone should get their due, right?
In this story, the Joker and Harley Quinn team up with the Scarecrow and Mad Hatter to bring their brand of madness to Gotham with hopes of destroying the Dynamic Duo along the way. Enjoy!!

AVENGER'S ASSEMBLE!

I've seen Marvel's Avengers twice already. Joss Whedon has certainly written his love letter to the fans and we are thankful for it. Here's a little doodle (on a production report at work, hence the errant text) inspired by the film. I wish I had a better recollection of their costumes, but you get the idea. Excelsior!!
