Superman: Emperor Joker Crossover Storyline Compilation Complete

is a 9-part crossover storyline that appeared in DC Comics' then-ongoing Superman titles from September to October 2000, and written and drawn by many established names in comics, among them Jeph Loeb, J.M. DeMatteis, Mark Schultz, Joe Kelly, Ed McGuinness, Mike Miller, Doug Mahnke, Kano, etc. It is actually composed of two 4-part sub-storylines, "Superman: Arkham" followed by "Superman: The Reign of Emperor Joker", connected in the middle by the one-shot special titled , which is also the title of the collected issues released as a trade paperback much later in January 2007. The storyline in essence is this: Batman's archenemy The Joker is accidentally given nigh-unlimited reality-shaping powers by that imp from the 5th dimension, Mr. Mxyzptlk, and he reshapes the universe in his image which then becomes topsy-turvy to say the least; so it's up to Earth's greatest, and most confused heroes to stop him before he destroys all of existence. The compilation contents are numbered in the required reading order, and also numbered as per sub-storyline part, with the chapter title given for each part. The individual comic book issues that comprise this storyline are: # Superman (Volume Two) #160 (Part 1) # The Adventures of Superman #582 (Part 2) # Superman: The Man of Steel #104 (Part 3) # Action Comics #769 (Part 4) # Emperor Joker #1 (Part 5) # Superman (Volume Two) #161 (Part 6) # The Adventures of Superman #583 (Part 7) # Superman: The Man of Steel #105 (Part 8) # Action Comics #770 (Part 9) My reference for this compilation is the DC Comics Database entry found @http://dc.wikia.com/wiki/Reign_of_Emperor_Joker.
