Batman / Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles Adventures #4

In "To Laugh So Not To Cry," Batman, Leonardo, and Raphael confront the Scarecrow’s fear gas, plunging them into their darkest nightmares, while Donny, Mikey, Batgirl, Robin, and April fight off Joker-controlled Foot Clan soldiers and a paralyzed Shredder. As the heroes regroup at Shredder’s lair to face the Joker and Harley, Donny uncovers a disturbing truth: someone has been manipulating the Kraang portals that brought Batman’s villains into their world. Written by Matthew K. Manning and illustrated by Jon Sommariva, with inks by Sean Parsons, colors by Leonardo Ito, and letters by Shawn Lee, this 2017 IDW crossover blends psychological tension with high-stakes action, all wrapped in a cover by Jon Sommariva.
