The Sound of One Hand Clapping" part 1 of 2! The Joker's in town...and he wants to meet Superman! Find out what happens next in this one-of-a-kind story from "Chronicle" writer Max Landis and legendary artist Jock!
"Adventures of Superman" #40 is yet another enjoyable celebration of Superman in this digital edition. While Landis and Jock may not be the top combination to tackle the first meeting between these characters, the story they deliver is certainly worth a read. As unexpected as this matchup is, this comic is able to provide some surprises along the way as it sets up an explosive cliffhanger dangling from the rooftop ledge of the Daily Planet. Luckily, readers only have to wait a week to find out what happens next. Read Full Review
Adventures of Superman #40 gives us the Joker and the Man of Steel so what could go wrong? Well, Max Landis' Joker seems a little to eager to prove his insanity, but Jock's art is stellar.
