BRIEFLY

JOKER ONE-SHOT: DC announced that director, screenwriter and producer John Carpenter and Anthony Burch, writer of the video games Borderlands 2 and League of Legends, will make their DC Universe debut in a one-shot comic as part of the publisher's "Year of the Villain" event in The Joker: Year of The Villain #1, a 40-page one-shot on sale Oct. 9.

Here's how DC describes the book:

"Now a human-alien hybrid, Lex Luthor has made his appeal to the world, asking its citizens to embrace doom and give in once and for all to evil, humanity's true nature. In exchange, he will grant them the tools to ascend to their ultimate selves. While some DC villains (and heroes) are willing to hear what 'Apex Lex' has to offer, the Clown Prince of Crime isn't going to wait around until Lex gets to him. This puts The Joker on a mission to get his swagger back in a world gone bad by out-badding everyone else, proving that the greatest evil is always the one that leaves them laughing."

Carpenter and Burch previously co-wrote BOOM! Studiosf Big Trouble in Little China: Old Man Jack miniseries.
