The Last of Us: American Dreams #1



"We really wanted this comic to be a coming-of-age story in a horrific postapocalyptic setting. Characters were dealing with issues of agency, of trying to transition from being dependent children to making adult decisions about their future, but at the same time, they’re living in this dangerous postapocalyptic world. The best postapocalyptic/zombie stories always have something to say about the human experience." -- Faith Erin Hicks

NS: New Harley Quinn and Joker audio drama with Christina Ricci

 

Spotify is releasing a Harley and Joker audio drama at the end of this month. It stars Christina Ricci as Harley Quinn, Billy Magnussen as The Joker, and Justin Hartley as Bruce Wayne.

"We’ve heard Harley Quinn’s origin story -- the one where she was manipulated into being The Joker’s doting, mad lover. But what if there’s more to it? What if there’s a Gotham City where Harley let The Joker believe she loved him, to get what she needed? When we meet Dr. Harleen Quinzel, she’s fresh out of grad school, a new psychologist at Arkham Asylum, determined to help the patients her colleagues have written off. But her dad is sick, and in need of an expensive, life-saving operation she can’t afford. Pushed to her breaking point, Harleen is tired of playing by the rules. So when she meets “Patient J,” a magnetic inmate able to manipulate everyone but her, Harleen makes a fateful decision: to use her relationship with The Joker to get what she wants, leading both of them down a dangerous path that will change them, Bruce Wayne, and Gotham City forever."

There's a preview here. At the very least it sounds like a fairly interesting take on their relationship. Christina Ricci is doing a great job as a sociopath on 'Yellowjackets' so she should be fun as Harley.
