Suicide Squad: Get Joker! is easily one of the most anticipated new comics of 2021. Not only does it feature the superstar creative pairing of writer Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets) and artist Alex Maleev (Daredevil), it features an equally enticing team-up in the story itself. This series features Red Hood signing up with Amanda Waller's team of incarcerated super-felons in order to hunt the most dangerous villain in the DC Universe.
IGN can exclusively debut a new preview of the first chapter of Suicide Squad: Get Joker! Check out these new pages, along with all the previously revealed art, in the slideshow gallery below:

Get Joker! is a three-issue prestige format series published under DC's mature readers-focused Black Label imprint. Azzarello is no stranger to the Black Label line, having penned the surprisingly controversial Batman: Damned. This will mark Maleev's first Black Label project, following his work on Event Leviathan.
It's still unclear whether Get Joker! is set within the mainline DC Universe or is intended as a completely standalone tale. That may well determine the outcome of the story, as a continuity-free approach means Red Hood and his new allies could very well kill Joker by the end. It wouldn't be the first time a version of Jason Todd has ended Joker's life.
Suicide Squad: Get Joker #1 is slated for release on August 3, just in time for the release of James Gunn's The Suicide Squad in theaters and on HBO Max. Each issue has a cover price of $6.99.
