Mad About DC doesn’t hold back and makes us miss Mad Magazine

Posted on by Leave a comment

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 bringingyou 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.

DC announces MAD About DC, A MAD Magazine-style DC comic book parody, publishing on April 1 and guest edited by Chip Zdarsky

Posted on by

DC with some trepidation has announced MAD About DC, a 64-page one-shot arriving April 1, 2026. Yes, April 1. And no, this isn’t a prank—unless you count letting Chip Zdarsky run this thing as its Guest Editor a prank on the DC Universe itself. You’d have to ask Chip.

MAD About DC brings together an all-star lineup of writers and artists to lovingly roast, parody, and generally make a mess of the characters fans hold dear.

Inside MAD About DC, readers will find:

  • Sergio Aragonés with “A MAD Look at Comic Book Stores”
  • Jim Zub and Ramon Perez teaming for “Guy vs. Spy”
  • A brand-new DC Fold-In by Charles Soule and Ryan Browne
  • A parade of MAD-style parodies skewering the DC comic books you love, and a few you’ve always hated anyway, from Kyle Starks, Dave Johnson, Tini Howard, Mattie Lubchansky, Mark Waid, Ty Templeton, Rainbow Rowell, Vita Ayala, M.L. Sanapo, Mark Russell, Steve Lieber, Jeff Parker, Lukas Ketner, Gerry Duggan, Scott Aukerman, Mitch Gerads, Joanne Starer, Joe Quinones, Scott Snyder, Josh Williamson, Deniz Camp, Gail Simone, Colleen Doran, Joe Kelly, Kelly Sue DeConnick, Valentine De Landro, Ryan North, Erica Henderson, Tom Taylor, Bruno Redondo, Mariko Tamaki, Riley Rossmo, Al Ewing, PJ Holden, Shannon Wheeler, Leah Williams, Isaac Goodhart, Cody Ziglar, Daniele Di Nicuolo, Daniel Kibblesmith, Brandt&Stein, Casey Gilly, J. Bone, Skottie Young, Andrew Wheeler, Stephen Byrne, Colleen Coover, Benjamin Errett, Matt Fraction, Kagan McLeod, Lee Gatlin, Joseph Starkey, Graham Roumieu…and more?!

Whether you’re a lifelong MAD Magazine fan, a DC diehard, or simply someone who enjoys watching respected creators make questionable choices, MAD About DC promises to fulfill your every comic book dream…or at least three or four of them.

MAD About DC goes on sale April 1, 2026, wherever comics are sold. No whoopee cushions included. The issue features a main cover by Dan “MAD About Gluten Labeling Because It Should Actually Be Clearer or Else What’s the Point” Panosian ($7.99 US), cardstock variants by Simon Bisley and Chip Zdarsky ($8.99 US), and a foil variant by Panosian ($10.99 US).

Dark Horse Books presents From the World of Minor Threats Library Edition featuring The Alternates and Barfly

Posted on by

Dark Horse Books presents the From the World of Minor Threats Library Edition Volume 1, a new oversized hardcover collection compiling the first two series tied into Patton Oswalt, Jordan Blum, and Scott Hepburn’s genre-bending crime drama, Minor Threats. From the World of Minor Threats Library Edition Volume 1 will also feature new cover art from Hepburn, a sketchbook section, and pinups from some of comics’ leading artists.

The first tie-in series, From the World of Minor Threats: The Alternates, is written by Tim Seeley, Oswalt, and Blum, with illustrations by Christopher Mitten and Tess Fowler, colors by Ian Herring, and lettering by Nate Piekos. It follows Mary the Multi-Monster, The Tripper, Crab Louie, Kid Curious, and Persona, offbeat b-list superheroes formerly known as The Alternates, who seemingly sacrificed themselves to stop an invasion from another dimension. Instead, they were transported to a mirror reality where they lived complex lives in a more four-dimensional existence, expanding both their powers and consciousness.

Five years later, they’ve returned to Twilight City, struggling to reacclimate to their old lives in a traditional two-dimensional superhero world–in withdrawal from the vivid ones they left behind. When elements from this alternate reality turn up as a dangerous new street drug, some of the heroes band together to destroy it, while others succumb to its temptation.

The second series, From the World of Minor Threats: Barfly, is written by Kyle Starks, Oswalt, and Blum, with illustrations by Ryan Browne, and lettering by Piekos. It’s a heartwarming, feel-good, coming-of-age story about an insect monster-man searching for his identity amongst the criminal underworld of Twilight City. A grimy punk rock odyssey that answers the question “How much $#!% can one lackey eat before he says NO MORE?!

From the World of Minor Threats Library Edition Volume 1 (hardcover, 248 pages, 8” x 12.1875”) will be available in bookstores on June 2, 2026 and in comic shops on June 3, 2026. It is now available for pre-order at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, and your local comic shop or bookstore for $49.99.
