After getting hit by a train, the Joker awakens in the Gotham sewers, being cared for by...Solomon Grundy?! While his mind and body are recovering, the Clown Prince of Crime and his new sidekick learn they're not the only monsters currently calling the sewers home! And the second Joker has set a course to find and destroy his alter ego...
This title has a breezy read feel, but with a large mystery at play, itd be nice to see Rosenberg start delivering some answers even if new ones arrive to take their place. Read Full Review
The novelty of seeing the Clown Prince of Crime go toe-to-toe with (and annoy) the opponents of these fights is definitely the draw, as Matthew Rosenberg's script keeps everything breezy, providing Carmine di Giandomenico's art space to add some dynamic fluidity. Read Full Review
I'm really looking forward to seeing where this whirlwind story is leading. We already had a false meeting of two Jokers, but there's something else bubbling under the surface and it's high time the pieces came together. Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #8 gives us some of the closure we needed, though I doubt this is the last we see of Kate Spencer. Read Full Review
Carmine Di Giandomenico delivers some great visuals in the issue. The action is fun and thrilling and the characters are dynamic and visually engaging. Read Full Review
This issue is basically a twenty-page fight segment with the two clowns getting their butts kicked. Read Full Review
This issue left me actually more interested in the upcoming issue, all for the fact that there might just be a climatic encounter between all the Jokers and between the members of the Bat-Family and their chaotic-neutral second eldest. Let the good times roll. Read Full Review
The series continues to make its mark in squalor, madness, and darkness. Its a milieu that has been explored pretty extensively over the decades on the comics page...particularly in those comics set in Gotham City. So its not exactly new ground, but it IS still a bit novel to hang out with the face of madness for a few more pages. Read Full Review
Joker: the Man Who Stopped Laughing still isn't a good book, despite the main character being a little more entertaining in this chapter. Readers seem to buy anything with the character's name on it, however. Because of this, you can expect the series to continue, just as it has been.5/10 Read Full Review
I believe this was an improvement over the last issue, in terms of both the main story and the backup. The main story was pretty fun this time around, but I also still maintain the fact that I'd really like for this to get back to the overarching story introduced in the first few issues. I think this backup story was significantly more interesting than Issue 7's, but I also feel as though it could have been more.
