DC Comics announced a sequel series to The Joker, in their San Diego Comic-Con Gotham panel last Friday – The Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing #1 launching on the 4th of October, written by Matthew Rosenberg, but they didn't show any of the artwork by Carmine Di Giandomenico. The comic will also feature a backup story drawn by Francesco Francavilla, featuring Joker and Mirror Master. So let's have a little look now, as the he travels the USA. And, it seems, barging into a mob-run restaurant, and going all Gordon Ramey in the kitchen. A horse's head in a bearnaise sauce with sweet potato fries?

The world once again holds its breath as The Joker strikes again! But how far is he willing to go this time? From the twisted minds of Matthew Rosenberg (Task Force Z, What's the Furthest Place from Here?) and Carmine Di Giandomenico (Batman: The Knight) comes a violent, mind-bending new series that picks up from the cataclysmic end of The Joker and follows the mayhem across the United States. With the Clown Prince of Crime setting out on his most bizarre caper yet, will a fan-favorite vigilante be able to prevent certain tragedy? Or is he in on the joke?
In the back-up—Joker's got a hot date but he's going to need a mirror to make sure he looks nice. Maybe Mirror Master can help.
