The Joker is set to make a triumphant return in the highly anticipated film "Joker: Folie A Deux," bringing together Joaquin Phoenix’s iconic portrayal of the character with Lady Gaga as Harley Quinn. As fans gear up for the movie’s premiere on October 4, there’s no better time to dive into some exciting new graphic novels featuring the Clown Prince of Crime.
Among the releases, a budget-friendly edition of the renowned "Joker" graphic novel is available for just $10. This compact book, part of the new DC Compact Comics series, reprints the classic story by Lee Bermejo and Brian Azzarello. Readers who appreciate a darker interpretation of the Joker will enjoy this tale, which takes place over one night filled with revenge and chaos in Gotham.
Another intriguing addition to the collection is "Batman: The Joker Year One." Written by Chip Zdarsky and illustrated by a talented team including Giuseppe Camuncoli and Andrea Sorrentino, this narrative explores the Joker’s transformation after the iconic Red Hood incident, chronicling his rise as a formidable force.
Additionally, "Joker: The Man Who Stopped Laughing" offers a thrilling 12-issue series where the Joker wreaks havoc across the DC Universe, facing off against both Gotham and Los Angeles as he embarks on one of his most outrageous schemes.
Fans can also look forward to "The Joker Compendium," which compiles all 15 issues of James Tynion IV’s acclaimed Joker saga. Unlike many stories that focus on his relationship with Batman, this series highlights the Joker’s tumultuous interactions with former police commissioner James Gordon, culminating in a gripping narrative of pursuit and psychological intrigue.
"Joker: The World" presents a refreshing adventure as the villain discovers new landscapes to unleash his chaos. This story showcases an array of talents who reinterpret the Joker’s escapades in various countries, including the United States, Brazil, and Argentina, delivering a global perspective on his reign of terror.
Rounding out the offerings is a unique new manga series that presents a bold reimagining of the Joker as Batman’s father, a surprising twist that is sure to captivate fans.
