Stop being mislead by bad people.


It’s difficult to write a story where the Joker is the main character. This is the case with many villains, but the Clown Prince of Crime’s traditional stream of consciousness approach to criminality doesn’t exactly help.


I mean, sure, James Tynion (et al.)’s The Joker is a fantastic comic — but that’s largely because it’s secretly a story about James Gordon where he hunts down the Joker, rather than a straight-up Joker story. Nevertheless, Matthew Rosenberg (What’s the Furthest Place From Here?) and Carmine Di Giandomenico (Batman: The Knight) are attempting just that: The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing really is just a book about the Joker.


And it comes with some truly stream of consciousness back up stories, drawn by Francesco Francavilla (The Joker) in which, well. Yeah. The Joker appears to be pregnant for a page or two.


What else is happening in the pages of our favorite comics? We’ll tell you. Welcome to Monday Funnies, Polygon’s weekly list of the books that our comics editor enjoyed this past week. It’s part society pages of superhero lives, part reading recommendations, part “look at this cool art.” There may be some spoilers. There may not be enough context. But there will be great comics. (And if you missed the last edition, read this.)

Now, it turns out that what actually happened is that he swallowed a bunch of mud at the same time that Zatanna was cursing him and something magical probably happened and anyway he barfs up a little Joker mud duplicate — and if that sounds darkly zany, that’s very much the point.

Rosenberg has told press that The Man Who Stopped Laughing’s back up stories are his tribute to the Silver Age, an era in which superhero comics got a bit dada, with more modern, violent incarnations of the character courtesy of creators like Alan Moore, Brian Bolland, Scott Snyder, and Greg Capullo. And indeed, in his backups with Francavilla, there’s plenty of bisected bodies, point blank executions, and gorilla-with-a-machine-gun carnage, and it all feels like a complete mpreg fever dream.

Now that I think about it, I don't think I've ever read a superhero comic.

Meanwhile I finished long running manga like Naruto and Bleach.

:manny: all this pandering agenda going to stop soon if they trying to get back to the billy days of the theater. China crehs ain't playing none of that in their market. And at the end of the day its all about that Dollar Dollar Bill y'all.

With the way Netflix is trending down, Marvel/Disney soon will follow suit and reduce the :wrist: pandering to double down their dollars. And of course DC/WB is copying homework and will follow suit.

Men lie, Women lie, you can call your self they/them whatever but THEM numbers Don't. And thats a double entendre cause they/them ain't as many as they portray to in Hollyweird.
