In "Laugh, and the World Laughs with You!", Orion staggers back to Earth, battered and broken, only to be sheltered by a lone homeless drifter. Meanwhile, Slig—the leader of the Deep Six—breaks free, transforms his face into a grotesque homage to the Joker, and unleashes a tide of Joker-fish upon the Pacific, leading an army of sea monsters toward land. Written and illustrated by Walter Simonson, with cover art by Simonson, this 2001 issue blends surreal menace with dark humor, as the Joker himself pauses, uncertain if his twisted influence has gone too far.
