Hard to read, I mean literary the font can be hard to read, especially the red Joker font. The images are haunting. The plot is razor-thin at best.  This comic feels like Morrison just finished a few college courses in the humanities and social sciences.  The end result being a “weird-ass comic” that references- Alice in Wonderland, Carl Jung, Aleister Crowley, and James Frazer. This is a trippy gothic comic- that all in all isn’t my cup of tea.
