If you're not counting his Detective Comics run from years ago. I attribute the problems with his Batman run due to executive meddling than anything else.

Comic Watch - Ariel B.
Sep 14, 2021Joker #7 combines the horror, crime, and action genres and stirs them into a delicious mix of new and classic characters to create an irresistible fictional feast.

Weird Science - Eric Shea
Sep 14, 2021While both stories in this issue aren't bad, some parts of each just seem to come off as a tad boring in the long run, even though I'm still interested in what they're talking about.

Dark Knight News - Kevin M. Gallagher, Jr
Sep 20, 2021The Joker #7 doesn't capitalize on the success of last month's issue and makes very little forward progress. It does feel like an issue you'll likely need to read to stay current with the story, but the fact that it's missing the titular character is mind-blowing. Read Full Review
