Acclaimed Spider-Man Writer Unites Marvel’s Most Unlikely Duos
J. Michael Straczynski unites Marvel’s most unlikely duos in brand-new one-shots.
HARLEY QUINN IN PARADISE
ROMANCE / COMEDY Written by CRC PAYNE Art by SIOBHAN CHIFFON & CATHY LE
“Harley Quinn is rarely lucky in love and after her recent breakup with The Joker, has been feeling particularly chaotic. Ivy advises Harley to lay low for a while — maybe a little R&R (recklessness and robbery) would be good for her! Good advice, right? True to character, Harley decides the best way to lay low is to plaster her face across every television in America and find true love on TV’s hottest reality dating show. Harley heads for the show’s island setting, ready to be the best contestant the program has ever seen…because she’s playing to win by any means necessary! And can she help it if she accidentally falls in love along the way?”
NOTHING BUTT NIGHTWING
ACTION / COMEDY Written by PATRICK R. YOUNG Art by MOY R. MARCO
“Dick Grayson, the first Robin, has made a name for himself as the hero Nightwing. But after several failed civilian-identity career attempts (a bar, a gym, etc.), he lands his biggest deep-cover operation yet — as an international supermodel! He’s got the eyes of the audience, the other models, and even a few agents. But he only has eyes for one thing…the Poison Ivy protégé on the hunt to steal the expensive (and environmentally harmful) jewels around the models’ necks…and perhaps the models themselves! But can he serve justice, and serve lewks, while traveling the globe? The spotlight is on Dick Grayson in Nothing Butt Nightwing…because his first gig is an underwear print campaign!”
RENAISSANCE OF RAVEN
FANTASY Written by SINA GRACE Art by NICO BASCUNAN, KATHERINE LOBO and CAROLA BORELLI
“Raven needs an escape. Her fellow Titans won’t leave her alone, she just had a fight with Beast Boy, and to top it off, it’s the anniversary of her mom’s death. We find her trying to live life beyond the curse of her father. She’s over it! Raven is more than her trauma! When a strange girl in a graveyard proclaims that Raven is some kind of destined hero, she’s ready to walk away…until suddenly, she’s pulled through an enchanted portal…to the kingdom of Galonia. Raven is sent hundreds of years into the past, where she must contend with a cabal of witches and the difficult choice of helping those in need or returning home!”
