Nov 01, 2022The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #2 is mysterious, clever, wild, and inventive all at once. The addition of a certain hero definitely spices up this issue and all while Rosenberg complicates this whos who into something a bit deeper. Readers, Im hooked! This is the concept of Batman: Three Jokers but with a certain unexpected and rather unique wrinkle. Now, I love a good mystery, even if that mystery involves a psychotic villain. And somehow, Rosenberg still finds a way to get the reader to feel for the Joker. The Joker! An insane, sadistic, killer! If thats not top-notch writing I dont know what is. Readers, its still early on into this series meaning you can probably still get your hands on issue one. Head to your local comic shop, or click the link right HERE, and snag both issues of The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing right now. You can thank me later. Let me know what you think, have a great week, and God Bless! Read Full Review

Nov 01, 2022I liked the first issue, but The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #2 makes a case for saying something important about Joker. There's a mystery worth exploring while Rosenberg plays with dialogue in entertaining and invigorating ways. Add in a backup with one of the funniest eulogies you'll read in comics, and you have a must-read issue. Read Full Review

Nov 01, 2022A reunion with Harley goes in a very different direction than I was expecting, and this issue drives home just what a hard time Joker will have clawing his way back to the top. Read Full Review

Batman-News - Theresa Campagna
Nov 01, 2022For the main storyline of The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing, I still feel pretty lukewarm. Rosenberg is proving himself to be a good choice for the writing of the Joker as an individual character, but we're really not being presented with anything we haven't seen before. I hope we get more clues in the next issue that make this run more engaging, but if not, perhaps Rosenberg will continue to entertain in the back-up stories. Read Full Review

Great art, taking a bit to get to the point, but some of the dialogue is excellent! Really feels like the Joker at times!

Another really good issue here. Introducing Red Hood into this series is a good idea, in my opinion, as I like the idea of him hunting down The Joker. He's the character that might have the most right to do so. As for the book's namesake, I'm very interested by his story as well. I enjoy the mystery Rosenberg is putting together here with the two Jokers and I also thought Harley's section of the book was well-written. As for this issue's backup story, I don't know that I enjoyed it as much as Issue 1's, but I still do really like the tone both stories have had so far.
