Question: What do a gun-loving Senator, a gang-banger on the rise, and Swanstown's top cop have in common? Answer: All three men are about to be engulfed in the Oxymoron's loveliest nightmare. Just as Detective Mary Clark puts her life back together, the contradiction obsessed killer's plan makes it all come crashing down. Features a variant cover by "the most dangerous man in comics," Joe Mulvey (SCAM).
Oxymoron: The Loveliest Nightmare is an expertly written and beautifully drawn book that will scare you to your core. You can see a major influence from Se7en in the book, but taken to super villain proportions. Co-writer John Lees promises that the second half of the series is where "things get REALLY messed up!" I cannot imagine how he's going to top the events of this issue, but I am definitely looking forward to it. Read Full Review

A cross between the mannerisms and actions of the Joker and Red Hood (Jason Todd version), Oxymoron is a “very bad man” as he continues to terrorizethe citizens of Swanstown. The lead officer on the case is given a way out, a chance to leave it all behind, but she has something to prove, and a past that needs rectifying.
