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, Skot more

Apr 01, 2026The only word there is to describe this comic is “fun”. On each page, there’s something different, and there’s something for everyone to enjoy. Capturing the MAD Magazine style format, I’d say the huge creative team knocked this out of the park. Read Full Review

Apr 01, 2026There are many more tales, but honestly, there's no need to belabor the point. This book is well worth a read if you're a fan of comics culture and superheroes. Mad About DC #1 is a packed, high-energy tribute to the legacy of MAD that doubles as a playground for some of comics’ biggest creators. With over sixty pieces of content, the issue delivers a constant stream of jokes, parodies, and absurd concepts that keep the reading experience fresh from start to finish. Not every gag lands, and some bits are intentionally shallow, but the sheer variety and creative freedom on display make it hard not to enjoy. It is a reminder of how vital MAD’s influence has been, while proving there is still plenty of room for this kind of irreverent humor in modern comics. Read Full Review
