The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #4
☆ Be the first to review + Add to your collection — Join freeIn "It's Not Funny Anymore [Part 4]," the Joker’s twisted game takes a shocking turn when he confesses a bizarre desire to start a family with Zatanna—only for her to respond with a spell that ensures no one else can bear his child. The consequences come swiftly and strangely, as the Joker begins to experience a transformation he never anticipated. Written by Matthew Rosenberg and illustrated with eerie precision by Francesco Francavilla, this issue blends psychological horror and dark comedy in a way only this series could deliver. The cover by Carmine Di Giandomenico captures the unsettling tone perfectly.
In the tense aftermath of a chaotic stand-off, The Joker takes refuge in a hospital’s children’s ward, turning the sterile halls into an unsettling stage where his dark humor clashes with the innocence of sick children. Meanwhile, Red Hood prowls the corridors, driven by fury and a mission to end the madness—while a mysterious figure named Powell watches from the shadows, and Lena remains caught in the crossfire.
In "Knocked Upside Down!", The Joker's bizarre romantic overture to Zatanna takes a wild turn when her magic backfires in the most unexpected way—leaving him suddenly, undeniably pregnant. With Jackanapes and Gaggy watching in stunned disbelief and Doctor Phosphorous lurking in the shadows, the Clown Prince of Crime must navigate a situation that’s as absurd as it is dangerous.
