After reading (and loving) "Death of a Family", I thought I would read the classic Joker story. This one is more focused on the Joker's past, but it gives a chilling example of his insanity as well. I'd say it's more powerful than the much more recent Scott Snyder story, as I felt a bit shaken after...
Genre: Superheroes / Action / Adventure / Horror Year Published: 1988 Year Read: 2012 Series: Batman Publisher: DC Comics OH…MY…GOD… I thought I knew everything there was to know about the Joker, one of Batman’s greatest foes. But after reading “Batman: The Killing Joke” and how the Joke...
My two favourite aspects of the Fableverse to date are 1)the remarkable consistency of each volume and 2)the twisting around of fairytales.

Anyway, watching the more recent film peaked my curiosity and I had it on good authority that this was...
I started this book last year for the one and only reason that it was directed by George Martin, and I was in love with his style from his now well-known and massively-mediatized series, A Song of Ice and Fire . I loved that series, every second of it, so here I was bouncing up and down when I hear...
This is an important work primarily in that it helped to redefine Batman and The Joker into their more modern and complex characterizations. The story is an origin story for the Joker by two of the most important people to ever work in comics.The writing is good, as of course is the art, but the qu...
This is the last of the George Perez piloted Wonder Woman, or at least the last that's been collected in trades. I really enjoyed his perspective on the character, and the heavily mythological backing she had here. And the art is beautiful, of course.
