The Joker
by: Brian Azzarello

Editorial Review:

An original hardcover graphic novel that tells the story of one very dark night in Gotham City--from the creative team behind the graphic novel Lex Luthor: Man of Steel.
The Joker has been mysteriously released from Arkham Asylum, and he's none to happy about what's happened to his Gotham City rackets while he's been "away." What follows is a harrowing night of revenge, murder and manic crime as only The Joker can deliver it, as he brutally takes back his stolen assets from The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face, Killer Croc and others.
Brian Azzarello brings to The Joker all the visceral intensity and criminal insight that has made his Vertigo graphic novel series 100 Bullets one of the most critically-acclaimed and award-winning series in all of comics.

GREAT GRAPHIC NOVEL:

this book was really great... it was disturbing at some parts but it was interesting... my only problem with the book was it was short =/ but that shouldnt stop you from picking this up. I really recommend it to mature readers only. Very adult themed... but it was good and the end was good... artwork is also great. thank you =)

The Smile, The Frown, The Upside-Down, and - You? How did you get here?:

Being in the presense of "greatness," how it must make men feel. They feed off of that figure until they feel like their deeds are equal with that person's stature, that their actions will somehow be remembered, and that they somehow measure up. It doesn't matter if they are a soldier on a battlefield or a criminal stepping onto the street after taking a long detour. Now imagine if that character were the Joker and, with a sweep of his hand, anything was possible. Banks fall on their knees and give you... more info

Great Joker Story:

This tells how did Jack Napier, a.k.a. The Joker gets outta Arkham Asylum by the front door. Nice story

Great art, good story, frustrating characters:

I was really eager to get this book when I ordered it, the synopsis said that I should expect the Joker wreaking havoc on Gotham along with Harley Quinn, Two Face, Killer Croc and the Penguin. And that's what I got, essentially, but it was delivered in a manner that I was not expecting. While the art was beautiful and plot not horrible- albeit lacking some of the complexity I was expecting from an 100+ page book- I was taken aback by the complete butchering of certain characters, specifically Harley Quinn.... more info
