    We're so close as the story for Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #11 pushes us right to the climactic battle to follow. Mr. Waffles even leaves readers with the conclusion we were waiting for to be revealed, although what will happen with that information, and what the repercussions will be now that the truth's been revealed, remains to be seen.

    This series has gone on too long but the creative team have done a good job of mostly keeping this maxi-series engaging. Of course it's all going to depend on how it successfully concludes, but this was a solid second to last issue. Read Full Review

    Geek Dad - Ray Goldfield Oct 3, 2023

    The problem is, this issue is such a scrum of explosions and fight scenes that it's not easy to keep tabs on who's who, especially since the Gotham Joker now has his trademark suit back again. The last page attempts to throw the entire concept of the series for a loop right before the end, but it doesn't have the impact they're hoping for. Read Full Review

    This penultimate issue feels like one of the series' weakest to date, but that's more thanks to some of the interesting moments we've seen in the series so far. Read Full Review

    The Batman Universe - Hannan Mouawad Oct 5, 2023

    Upon reflection, it almost feels like the Joker has become a strong enough character to sustain his own storyline, yet a part of me thinks that the story should feel incomplete without Batman. However, the utilization of side characters and multiple other Joker characters, paired with the art that makes the rain that seems to be ever-falling and drenching each and every character feels extremely real, has provided the story with enough leverage to keep the story moving.

    Weird Science - Jim Werner Oct 5, 2023

    Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #11 gives readers some answers, but it's too late to have much impact.  The art is stellar, but the total lack of story progression during the first ten issues is glaring as Mathew Rosenberg desperately tries to convince readers that there was ever a worthwhile story here.  Oh well, Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing only has one more issue to go, and then LAX lovers can rest easy again.

    Batman-News - Jeremy Bernard Oct 3, 2023

    What a stunning issue. I'm both paralyzed by the snail pacing of the previous issues leading up to another chaotic mess of characters running around blowing things up for no reason as well as stuck on each page as my eyes focus on the smallest artistic choices made. The big picture is beautiful and a complete headache to think about. So don't! Stop thinking about the story because, no spoilers, the ending just explains the mystery anyways! Read Full Review

    Even as this series is getting ready to end, it's still getting unnecessary hate. This wasn't the best issue of the series, but it was definitely interesting. I think the reveal at the end was done well. I wouldn't say it was "blurted out," as other people may think, considering it had build going into it and it was done on the last page of this run's penultimate issue. Aside from the two Jokers presumably fighting in the next issue, there's also the possibility to actually follow-up on this development. I'm looking forward to seeing how this ends.
