Batman: Arkham Asylum - A Serious House on Serious Earth by Grant Morrison

2.0

56. I recently had to buy my nephew a Batman comic/graphic novel for Christmas and while browsing the local comic book store, I picked up and paged through a number of comics. I sometimes forget how much I enjoy graphic novels, so I made note of a handful of them and reserved them at the library. This was the first to arrive and frankly I just didn't like anything about it. The art was awful, the story was dull and wasn't engaging, and it was a slog to get to the end of it. I thought that I was missing something, but after reading a few others (reviews to come), it's just this one in particular that I didn't care for. The basic premise here is that the inmates have taken over the Asylum and will only let the workers go if Batman enters. Of course the inmates are all the typical villains that were put in there by Batman in the first place. This could have been far more interesting, but it just doesn't go anywhere and I was happy to be done with it. 2/5
