12 major Marvel and DC comic book moments fans should know about (August)
By Mark Lynch
The Next Joker
Comic book: Future State Gotham No. 4
If there’s a comic book that involves the Red Hood and Harley Quinn, you have to expect the Joker to appear. Except, this time, it isn’t their Joker. It’s someone called the Next Joker. The fact that it scared Harley and Punchline means that it’s a big deal. We don’t know who it is, but it could be a character we know. We’ll have to wait and see.
Someone has been in Wolverine’s room
Comic book: Wolverine No. 15
Wolverine and Solem battled before and during the X of Swords tournament. Considering the way they went at it, we should have known their rivalry wouldn’t end there. Apparently he got into Logan’s room on the blue area of the moon and stole the Muramasa Blade. If he could do that, what else has he done?
The Tournament begins
Comic book: Robin No. 5
After a lot of waiting, the Lazarus Island tournament begins. The easy money is on Robin (Damian Wayne) winning this fight. However, we don’t know if there’s going to be a winner. Meanwhile, something funky is going on with Mother Soul. We’ll most likely find out what it is next month.
Joker has the Suicide Squad’s controls
Comic book: Suicide Squad: Get Joker No. 1
Amanda Waller recruited Jason Todd into the Suicide Squad. With that came a bomb in the back of the neck. While Task Force X was on a mission to find Joker, the Clown Prince of Crime was at Amanda Waller’s place. He kills her and steals the device that controls the bombs in their necks. He’s already used it to kill Firefly. Who’s next and what will Joker make them do to be free?
