Detective Comics #1022 Joins DC's Joker War

Lunar Comic Distributors has told comic book retailers that Detective Comics #1022 from DC Comics will now have a "Joker War" logo.  Previously it had not been solicited as being part of the Joker War event at DC Comics, and advance reorders for the comic has passed. Also it doesn't look like DC, Diamond or UCS told anyone. So there's that.

Joker War is the big Batman event that James Tynion IV and the rest of the Batbook writers have been building up – but that was delayed by the current shutdown. Ironically the kick-off towards it, the long-delayed Batman #92 sees The Riddler putting Gotham into lockdown, no one allowed to leave their homes or offices of everything goes boom. What with that and the Hawkman plague comic, there's a lot of coincidental coronavirus comics about. Anyway, expect demand for Detective Comics #1022 to increase as a result of Lunar's announcement.

Lunar also states that due to a printing error that the variant version of The Flash #754 now has an in-store date of 2nd of June while the regular cover continues to have an in-store date of 26th of May. Diamond has both covers listed for June 3rd, so it seems that Lunar customers will get half of their orders a week before Diamond.
