Arguably the most famous comic book villain of all time is DC Comics’s The Joker, having faced off with Batman in all manner of adventures for decades. The character’s embrace of clown, carnival, and circus iconography is just as intrinsically linked to the character as his sadistic serial killings, with the character essentially setting the bar for that formula within an entire medium. Knowing the history of Image Comics and their embrace of more mature stories and subject matter, learning that they’re delivering an all-new clown in Haha who seemingly suffers from one very bad day and the tolls these events take on him will surely feel like well-worn territory, but once you actually dive into the book from writer W. Maxwell Prince and artist Vanesa Del Rey, we’re given an unexpected tale about the grey areas of your grey matter that never has to rely on gimmicks to tell a compelling story.
