Imagine being in your thirties or forties, having grown up in the 80s and 90s loving Marvel and DC comic books, spending absurd amounts of time and money after school or on weekends in your local comic book store, looking around you and going, "I want to own a place like this one day." And through a combination of tenacity, skill and good fortune, you end up as an adult, owning your own comic book store, living your childhood dream, fulfilling the American middle class ambition of owning your own business, only to discover that this is the shit that it's now your job to sell.
And that's when you switch over to manga. My local comic store is mostly manga, manga merch and a tiny section of comics. Sad if you've been a fan but what else you gotta do? You want food on the table, not try to hold up a dying industry.
“Mud monster” sounds like a euphemism for a giant, nasty shit.
So the joker took a dump, sculpted his shit into a small version of himself, then called it his son.
Sounds about right as the ideal for parenthood in the minds of retarded progressives. I’m sure he’ll molest his mud baby in the next issue to make sure it turns out gay or trans.
So glad these companies chose to ignore defaced of great comic book stories to adapt as well as hiring artists who write such thought provoking material like this.
I'll be honest, I have a call list, and this story has not been mentioned or showed up in my comics. I order Batman stuff. It's like the actual industry is ignoring this and reading better comics.
Since I don't know anything beyond that one panel and the description I'd have to say there's nothing necessarily wrong with this. Joker self impregnating and giving birth to his own son (I wouldn't trust anyone ELSE with my baby; not even his mother!) to wreak havoc with is not entirely out of line for someone who has no limits. "So sorry for poisoning the reservoir. I'm murdering for two now, don't you know!" "With me around, you should be planning your funerals and not parenthood!"
But it is current year, so in all likelihood it's the delivery (heh) that's being botched.
It's the "B side" of the issue in question as the main story is Joker going around a hospital of cancer patients while being chased by an ineffective Red Hood/Jason Todd who really should have smoked Mister J within the same second of seeing him.
B side plot is Zatanna casts a spell on Joker by saying "No one else will ever have your baby", backwards obviously, and the result is Joker "gives birth" the next morning to a sentient pile of mud that eventually forms into a likeness of his own.

Amen! My local comic shop makes the bulk of its money on Manga, Older comics, and tabletop games.
Isn't this the origin story of Nerdrotic?
He should have made Clayface wear a condom I guess.
At least now he can go to court for child support

That actually sounds like something that someone stuck in a mental hospital for life would do.
So the Joker is going from being a psycho killer to just a plain ol' street psycho. Lame.

...wat
Well I guess now we know why they fired Henry Cavill. Tranny Superwoman man here we come.

This panel seems to make it clear this isn't some villainous plot.
It's the "B side" of the issue in question as the main story is Joker going around a hospital of cancer patients while being chased by an ineffective Red Hood/Jason Todd who really should have smoked Mister J within the same second of seeing him.
B side plot is Zatanna casts a spell on Joker by saying "No one else will ever have your baby", backwards obviously, and the result is Joker "gives birth" the next morning to a sentient pile of mud that eventually forms into a likeness of his own.
So I guess Zatanna raped The Joker, right?
I don't really care what the explanation is, it's a dumbass story that shouldn't be told.
If that’s where “stories” are at, now - I think that tells you all you need to know…
Jfc that’s a terrible plot…
The rest of the author's works aren't very interesting either, so it's par for the course from Matthew Rosenberg.
