The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing: The Complete Series #[nn]
In "It's Not Funny Anymore," the Joker returns to Gotham only to find it reshaped in his absence—Black Mask, Two-Face, and the Riddler now rule its underworld, demanding he step aside. With a chilling shift in focus, he abandons the city for Los Angeles, launching a nationwide campaign of chaos that threatens to unravel the country. Meanwhile, a shadowy figure in Gotham quietly studies the Clown Prince of Crime, weighing whether to act. Written by Matthew Rosenberg and brought to life with stark, intense art by Carmine Di Giandomenico—pencils and inks—and vibrant colors by Arif Prianto, this story marks a pivotal moment in the Joker’s evolution. The cover, also by Di Giandomenico, captures the eerie stillness before the storm.
