Who is the next Joker?
Jason just killed who he believes was his own murderer. However, the other two have much bigger plans for him.
Not as good as the first one but still decent enough.
Geoff Johns follows his strong opening chapter with more story and character development, although the latter with more mixed results. The mystery around the three Jokers continues to unfold in interesting ways, particularly how different they all are from each other, especially the Criminal who is heavily based on the Golden Age Joker and shows how calculating he can be. There are also intriguing bits like Joe Chill's eventual importance to the book.
The characterization of Jason Todd is where my biggest problems come from. Johns is basing his portrayal on the recently revived version of Jason who is still resentful of Bruce for letting him die and that version has been done to death even way back when Judd Winick was writing him, there are more compelling ways to handle his character. Then again, there are other good dynamics like how Bruce and Barbara deal with Jason or how the Comedian likes to imagine having a happy family just like he wanted in the Killing Joke (even his son sorta looks like his pre-Joker self).
Jason Fabok remains in art duties and his work is still really solid with beautiful characters and vibrant storytelling.
Fine read, hope the conclusion is appropriate though.
