Joker Hc

In the all-new, hardcover original graphic novel JOKER, writer Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS) and artist Lee Bermejo (HELLBLAZER covers) - the creative team behind the acclaimed miniseries LEX LUTHOR: MAN OF STEEL - show an even darker and more disturbing side to the most dangerous man in Gotham: The Joker.

After yet another stint in Arkham Asylum, The Joker finds "his city" divided among mobsters and costumed villains. Not content to settle for a piece of the pie, The Joker vows to take back the whole damn enchilada by any means necessary. Look for appearances by a slew of Gotham's most wanted, including gritty takes on Two-Face, Riddler, Killer Croc, Penguin, Harley Quinn and even Batman!

Not since THE KILLING JOKE have you seen such a powerful tale of The Joker - you won't want to miss this one!

I'm sure Joker has had gingivitis problems since he went into that acid vat.

Why so dental-serious?

Serously, Im surprised the guy still has any teeth.  He doesn't look like the "brush 2x a day and floss" kinda guy.

"The gloves are off Harveys ... No more monkeying around." Heh.

This was more awesome than awesome. One thing I didn't get though ... what was in the briefcase?

@Wade

Proof of Harvey having more than one wife, I believe.  Joker was gonna blackmail him with it.

 Amazing book.  So glad I got this.  Read it in one sitting.  10/10 work from everyone involved.

Loved this book the Joker is the ultimate villian. He should be campy, he's guy in clown makeup for god's sake! But he is scary smart, psycho like you woldn't believe and totally great read

No spoilers but I just saw a page with Batman on it from this GN...

My god I hope in the future Bermejo does either Batman or Detective comics in the future. Beautiful peice of art right there.

Fantabulous.  Superb. And real bloody.

I will go out on a limb here and predict this will be an Eisner nominee.

This and guerillas #2 were amazing this week

Posted by eagle6002 on 10/31/08 at 07:41 PM

@Sunnyvale - Ah, that makes sense, thanks dude.

I'll second what macdad said about this, if you are considering buying this, don't hesitate, especialy is you liked Broken City, it's probably the best comic I've read this year. Dark "realistic" versions of Batman's villains mixed with BEAUTIFUL art & a grimey crime story makes this a winner.

Posted by WadeWilson on 11/01/08 at 11:06 AM

@Eagle6002- Wait Guerillas 2 came out?  Oh well guess my shop didnt get it...

Posted by Guardedmarman on 11/02/08 at 06:35 PM

Man, I was so looking forward to this and then it turns out to be just ok. I'm not getting what was so amazing about it :/
