DC Comics Announce ‘Batman/Superman/Weird Al: World’s Weirdest #1’

DC Comics have just announced ‘Batman/Superman/Weird Al: World’s Weirdest #1’, a brand new 40-page one-shot that is set to bring together the World’s Finest and the undisputed king of musical parodies, Weird Al Yankovic for a dimension-hopping adventure unlike any other.

The one-shot issue is written by Mark Waid, with ‘Vibes’ by Yankovic himself and art and a main cover by. Dan Schoening. It celebrates the joy of the unexpected and the power of embracing the wonderfully weird. Yankovic previously guest‑edited an issue of MAD Magazine, bringing his signature off‑kilter sensibility to the legendary humor publication, and he recently had cameos on two DC variant covers: the “Totally Normal Al” cover for Bizarro: Year None #1 and a “Weird Al” variant for Batman/Superman: World’s Finest #50, both drawn by Dan Mora. His latest appearance in World’s Weirdest continues a tradition of delightfully unexpected crossovers between the world’s finest heroes and the world’s weirdest icon. Here’s a look at the covers by Riley Ross, Mark Spears, Jerry Gaylord and Dan Shoening.

Here’s the official synopsis from DC:
The fifth dimension is being hit with an affliction that turns everything dull and ordinary, but as Mr. Mxyzptlk reaches out to Superman and Batman for help, the same plague has struck Earth! Instead of dialing H for a hero, there’s only one person to call: “Weird Al”! Get ready for a wild one-shot where the one and only “Weird Al” Yankovic joins the World’s Finest team!

‘Batman/Superman/Weird Al: World’s Weirdest #1′ is on sale 2nd September and is available to pre-order from your local comic shop right now.
