DC Comics announced The Joker Presents: A Puzzlebox for release on August 3.

In this murder mystery series, the G.C.P.D. discovers a unidentified corpse, a magical box, and several of most infamous villains sitting in the same jail cell. The Joker is the only one that knows what happened, and he unravels each piece of this tale, over the course of the series, as it connects to his diabolical plans. The first issue is penned by Matthew Rosenberg, who recently worked on Wolverine: Black, White & Blood for Marvel (see "Academy Award Winner John Ridley To Write A 'Wolverine' Comic"). It also features art by Jesus Merino, Joshua Hixon and Ulises Arreola.

The seven-issue run will showcase the artwork of Keron Grant, Dani, Domo Stanton, Juni Ba, Vanesa Del Rey, Ricardo Ortiz, Christopher Mooneyham, and more. Issue #1 will have multiple covers: a main cover by Chip Zdarsky, card stock open order variants by Riccardo Federicci and Christopher Mooneyham, and a card stock 1:25 variant by Jesus Merino. This book will be 40-pages retail for $4.99, with card stock covers retailing for $5.99.
