The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing reaches its 12th and final issue this week. The limited series by writer Matthew Rosenberg, artist Carmine Di Giandomenico, colorist Romulo Fajardo Jr, and letterer Tom Napolitano, has followed Batman's nemesis as he attempts to take his particular brand of chaos and carnage global. In the meantime another Joker is still running rampant in Gotham.
There have been multiple Jokers in the Batman comics for some time now, though the how and why of it all has been a little confusing. This issue clears things up slightly, while retaining much of the mystery. It also puts a bloody cap on the spin-off series.
