Last year, DC Comics unveiled a new series of crossover one-shots. The crossover’s were interesting to say the least. DC’s most famous heroes and villains and Warner Bro’s Looney Tunes collided to form some zany pairings, including titles like Wonder Woman/Tazmanian Devil, Jonah Hex/Yosemite Sam, Lobo/Road Runner, Martian Manhunter/Marvin the Martian, Legion of Super-Heroes/Bugs Bunny, and the critically acclaimed Batman/Elmer Fudd.

Now, the worlds of DC and the Looney Tunes will be crossing over once more, with four new special issues slated for this summer.

Each one-shot issue contains 48 pages and will feature two strips. First, the main strip will feature the title characters meeting in a style similar to DC’s superhero line, and a backup short more in line with the traditional Looney Tunes aesthetic.

This year’s pairings are similarly eccentric, with combinations including The Joker/Daffy Duck, Catwoman/Tweety and Sylvester, and Lex Luthor/Porky Pig; which looks to be the stuff of nightmares. Harley Quinn will be meeting Gossamer, the big, hairy orange monster that debuted in the 1946 Looney Tunes short, Hair-Raising Hare.
