    The Joker returns to Gotham City, but is confronted by Black Mask, Two-Face, and the Riddler who have taken over crime in Gotham during his absence and want him to leave. The Joker decides it would be better to spread his influence across the entire country and travels to Los Angeles and launches a country-wide series of terrorist attacks. Meanwhile back in Gotham, a mysterious stranger analyzes the Joker and considers taking action against him.

    After being captured by Power Girl, the Joker becomes infatuated with her and schemes to get a date with her.

Publisher’s description

The world once again holds its breath as The Joker strikes again! But how far is he willing to go this time? From the twisted minds of Matthew Rosenberg (Task Force Z, What’s the Furthest Place from Here?) and Carmine Di Giandomenico (Batman: The Knight) comes a violent, mind-bending new series that picks up from the cataclysmic end of The Joker and follows the mayhem across the United States. With the Clown Prince of Crime setting out on his most bizarre caper yet, will a fan-favorite vigilante be able to prevent certain tragedy? Or is he in on the joke? In the back-up—Joker’s got a hot date but he’s going to need a mirror to make sure he looks nice. Maybe Mirror Master can help.
