Batman Beyond: 10,000 Clowns by Adam Beechen, Norman Brewer

4.0

This is by far the strongest entry in the Beyond comics-verse. It feels the closest to the tv show, and Norm Breyfogle's art is much more in line with the original than previous volumes. There are a few different story lines running simultaneously--Jokerz from all over the world are gathering in Gotham and creating havoc, Dana has just broken up with Terry and is trying to deal with her brother (also a Joker) and his increasing violent outbursts. Bruce's abused liver finally gives out, which puts him out of commission and forces Terry to rely on poor Tim Drake. Dick Grayson also makes an appearance, as does the new Catwoman. We also get lots of panel time with Barbara Gordon, and Max has her own thing going on. The pacing is tight, and Beechen packs a lot of plot into the volume. Highly recommended!
