"I haven’t always been a writer. My parents are writers and my brother is a writer, and I resisted that as long as I could. When I was 17, I hopped in a band’s van and I went on tour for a summer, and that was it, that was what I wanted to do. I ran a record label for 10 years, a small indie punk label. I did everything in music that you can do that doesn’t involve having musical ability. Eventually the music business, probably in a similar way to comics, will just start to break your heart, and I realized one day that I kind of hated music. I was resigned to thinking, if I’m going to be involved in music forever, I’m going to hate it for the rest of my life. I just stopped. I stopped having any sort of business with music, any involvement.
I read comics my whole life, so I just naturally fell back into another medium that is marginalized and hard to make a living in."

it was fun

Hard to make a compelling story with the Joker in the lead and here there are...two of them? This could have easily been done in about half the space (12 issues, really?). It just got really old after awhile. The art throughout isn't bad.

Confused the hell out of me but just like every joker comic it was amazing. A fun read and interesting story.

Read this a few weeks ago, but I loved it. I love when people make Joker stories weird and confusing, because to me the Joker should never make too much sense.

Matthew Rosenberg delivers a wild, unpredictable Joker tale centered around two Jokers battling for identity and chaos. It’s dark, absurd, and often hilarious, with strong art by Carmine Di Giandomenico that matches the madness.
While not as deep as other Joker stories, its bold tone and unhinged storytelling make it a fun, twisted ride that embraces the chaos.
Overall: 4.5/5
