The Joker by Brian Azzarello

4.0

---

4 stars. Very enjoyable Joker story. He’s just been released from Arkham Asylum (for whatever reason) and he’s on a mission to take back Gotham since it’s gone to hell since he’s been away. He meets a guy named Jonny Frost and employs him as his driver and then things get chaotic after that. The art style in this is so gritty and dark that it gives the entire novel such a grimy tone and feel to it that I really enjoyed. Joker is down right terrifying looking in a lot of the panels. I liked the Harley Quinn in this one as well. She doesn’t do anything of significance but the art style for her was different. I just wish she had a bigger role but whatever. The ending was really great and intense. I love Joker and Batman confrontation and this one was good.
