MAD About DC #1 Preview

 

 

Everyone is mad these days. They get upset that Batman didn't become King Omega. They're angry at how Vandal Savage is running the Gotham City Police Department. Althea Klang is really getting their dander up by upscaling Harley Quinn's beloved Throatcutter Hill into Northwest Gotham Southeast. But how do comic creators feel about MAD Magazine? And what makes them absolutely, Red Kyptonite-Mad enough to contribute their spectacular stories to this cornerstone of the "crazy" comics community?

Here's all the info from DC Connect:

Look, it’s no Fartacular but then again what is?

 

Chip Zdarsky is a funny guy. Remember when he made that whole April Fools’ gag comic with rub’ n’ smell farts? Oh, wait, that was me, DC Comics E-I-C Marie Javins. Chip was the one saying, “I’d turn back if I were you,” but he couldn’t stop me. Editors are a self-destructive lot. Which is why this year, I said, “I give up, you do it, Chip, you are so much funnier and prettier and also better with cats than I am.” And look, he went and did it. Chip demoted himself to “editor.” Chip is turning the DC Universe on its ear and bringing you savage mockery of all we hold dear, and he is assisted in this brutal task by Matt Fraction, Gail Simone, Skottie Young, and many, many more. Next year? Back to farts.

 

Includes MAD favorite Sergio Aragonés with “A MAD Look at Comic Book Stores,” “Guy vs. Spy” by Jim Zub and Ramon Perez, and a DC Fold-In by Charles Soule and Ryan Browne. Plus a slew of MAD-style parodies of all DC Comics you hold dear, and some you’ve always hated anyway. MAD About DC #1 will fulfill your every comic book dream, or at least three or four of them.

 

Now, let's take a look inside:
