Recently Bleeding Cool reported on Joker: The World being published by DC Comics, including work by Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok, who created the Three Jokers story together announced for 2017 and finally published in late 2020, as well as the Justice League story that originally led into it (though that has now been written out of DC continuity by Chip Zdarsky. So the question asked, might this book contain what was originally intended for a Three Joker sequel story? After all, with former DC CCO Geoff Johns on the outs at DC Comics, especially as he has taken some bankable DC Comics talent such as Gary Frank, Jason Fabok and Bryan Hitch for the exclusive creator-owned/shared universe Ghost Machine, it might be the only use they have for it.

Turns out it is not to be. Instead, Geoff Johns and Jason Fabok have created a ten-page epilogue to The Three Jokers, which will appear in the book. And it's a good time to announce it as their Ghost Machine title Rook: Exodos #1 is published this Wednesday, alongside Redcoat #1 and Geiger #1 for what has been dubbed Ghost Machine Day. More on that to come…
