benj_78 's review for:
Batman, Volume 3: Death of the Family
by Scott Snyder
Man this was one seriously messed-up comic... and I loved it! There were some huge gaps in the logicistics of how The Joker pulled off his stunts, but comics can't have hundreds of pages of exposition like traditional novels. Plus the artwork was awesome/disturbing enough to trump the little plot details. The general story gets across just fine. The Joker is completely unhinged and wants to prove to Batman that their twisted relationship is more real than his family bonds.
I'm torn trying to decide which Joker story is the most sadistic between this one and "The Killing Joke". Probably the latter because it was somewhat realistic and therefore more tangible. This one was more horriffic/graphic, but none of this is really plausible. It's like a comic book take on an 80s slasher movie.
Either way, I was along for the ride cringing and waiting to see what they would come up with next. I got this book and "Endgame" on a clearance sale at a local bookstore, so I'll be diving into that one very soon.
