DC Comics Cancel The Joker As Well As The Justice League

Published Fri, 21 Jan 2022 11:41:12 -0600

Who can follow James Tynion IV and Guillem March on The Joker? Nobody it seems, their final issue of The Joker in April, issue 14, will be the final issue of the series. No one else will be taking the character – or at least those he affects – on as Tynion departs from the Batman books for creator-owned books, Substack and a little Sandman Presents. DC Comics didn't continue the Sandman series after Neil Gaiman left, and it looks as if they are doing the same for The Joker… shame, I'd have loved to see Ram V's take on the clown prince of crime and the lives he affects. And no chance of a Joker/Corinthian crossover now…

All the hunters converge on the Sampson estate as the brutal conclusion to the first "season" of The Joker is here! Bullets will fly, blood will be shed, and will James Gordon be forced to make the choice he's been dreading since issue #1?
Punchline Backup: Punchline walks free, and the Royal Flush Gang is desperate for a new queen. The underworld of Gotham City is going to change forever, and this last chapter of "Punchline" is only the beginning.

It also joins the Justice League getting a final issue of #75, though far fewer people think that one is permanent, especially considering it has so many main DC Comics characters within it…
