The Joker #14
In "Chapter Twenty: The Banes of Our Existence," James Tynion IV and Giuseppe Camuncoli deliver a tense, character-driven escalation in The Joker's ongoing saga, as Jim Gordon confronts the aftermath of chaos at the Sampson Family compound. With Giuseppe Camuncoli’s sharp art and Cam Smith’s inks grounding the emotional weight, the issue lingers on the quiet dread of memory and complicity—Gordon’s carefully maintained facade cracking under the strain of what he knows, and what he may have helped set in motion. The cover by Guillem March captures the moment’s grim intensity, a stark portrait of a man unraveling under the weight of his own choices.
