‘Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly’ Is Coming Out for April Fools’ 2025 and the Fans Are in Disbelief: Did Anyone Ask for This?

As a seasoned comic book enthusiast who has been following the industry since the days of Stan Lee and Jack Kirby, I must say that DC Comics never ceases to surprise me with their innovative ideas. However, the upcoming release of Harley Quinn Fartactular: Silent Butt Deadly #1 is pushing the boundaries of absurdity to a whole new level!

In March 2025, DC Comics has an incredibly unusual release planned before their April Fools’ Day editions. Nestled within their upcoming catalog is a comic called “Harley Quinn Fartactular: Silent Butt Deadly #1”, and yes, you’ve deciphered that correctly. This isn’t some intricate prank; it’s the genuine title and premise of the comic.

The description from DC is just as strange as the title suggests. The comic promises to be a celebration of “all things passed, pre-scent, and toot-ure.” According to the official blurb, Harley Quinn is about to let loose after “32 years” of holding in her worst gas, leading to an “epic expulsion.”

This comic is marketed as one that could revolutionize your perspective on comics, heavily emphasizing the number of jokes related to flatulence (GPP). In simpler terms, expect plenty of bathroom humor, and yes, this comic includes a unique feature where readers can actually sniff the scenes while flipping through the pages. Just so you’re aware, the scents won’t be reminiscent of fresh roses.

Given the unusual choice made previously, it’s worth mentioning that Harley Quinn has been part of a comic before that encourages contemplation of odors. In fact, as far back as 2014, DC published a comic called Harley Quinn Annual #1, which was unique in that it offered scents such as pizza, suntan lotion, and leather when rubbed.

One of the scents was even referred to as a “mysterious compound,” which was later revealed to be marijuana. So this isn’t exactly new ground for Harley, though this latest installment certainly pushes things further than before. Here is the official synopsis (yes, DC wrote this, not us):

I’ve saved my most revolting moments for over three decades, and now it’s time to unleash them in a spectacular display! Brace yourself, as you might vomit, weep, or experience sensations unlike any other! Your sense of smell will be forever altered!

This remarkable magazine honors past, present, and future events. The world of sequential art is on the verge of a historical shift with the launch of Harley Quinn Fartacular: Silent Butt Deadly, a comic boasting an unprecedented amount of gas per page (GPP). The emphasis here is on ‘committed,’ as every person involved in producing this comic will find themselves admitted to Dr. Fartley’s Home for Troublesome Gas-Emitting Women and Men.

Read the comic that Abraham Lincoln called a joy from fart to finish moments before he died! WARNING: We aren’t kidding. If you are grossed out by farts, then this comic isn’t for you (and that’s perfectly okay!…though I am judging you!). Unless you want to put your feelings to the test…in which case this comic is for you.

As a devoted fan, I find it downright peculiar that DC is continuing to amp up the quirkiness with Harley Quinn Fartactular: Silent Butt Deadly. It’s not just about the whiff of novelty – this comic book series is being hyped as a significant event, and rightfully so, given the talented creative minds behind it.

This comic was penned by Joanne Starer, famously known for “Fire & Ice: Welcome to Smallville”, and beautifully illustrated by Ted Brandt and Ro Stein. Expect a top-notch reading experience, even with its unconventional plotline. Notably, variant covers are contributed by Amanda Conner and Ben Caldwell, both renowned artists in the comic book industry. Here’s a glimpse of the artwork:

So while it might seem like a joke, the people behind it are seriously respected in the industry.

The comic appears to blend wacky humor and the bizarre, offering a standalone piece that won’t tie into any ongoing narratives. Instead, it seems to serve as a seasonal amusement, fitting well as a joke or even an early April Fool’s Day prank. Given its release date on March 26, it could be an entertaining choice for those looking to play a trick on friends or simply appreciate something outlandish.

The question is whether “Harley Quinn Fartactular: Silent Butt Deadly” turns out to be more than a mere amusing anomaly or the pioneer of something bigger. If another comic like this emerges in ten years or so, could it signal the birth of a new genre centered around odors? At this point, it’s uncertain; however, Harley might be initiating an unusual trend.

Regardless of your feelings towards it, it’s clear that this comic is bound to leave a lasting impression.

In 2025, this upcoming comic with an extraordinarily unusual concept, well-known writers, and a claim for an extraordinary read, is undeniably destined to be one of the most peculiar comics you’ll find on store shelves.
