A review by tawfek
Batman: Arkham Asylum - A Serious House on Serious Earth by Grant Morrison
5.0
between reading the comic and reading the script i skipped almost 10 months not reading this but its because last year was my worst reading year to date and i don't really have anyone to talk about great comics like this one, everyone i know either hates comics or doesn't believe they are worth reading.
its a dangerous thing seeking motivation from others about things you like.
i mean Quentin Tarantino is a comic fan for christ sake.
so to begin out review this was not at all what i expected, the art is the best in the world, the writing is the best as well because this for me wins the best graphic novel i ever read award hands down.
i wasn't expecting much because i already had a run in with grant morrison in action comics 2011 and they were terrible but then fast forward arkham asylum and i am blown away.
i remember the first time i realized the narrative was dual after i finished 25% of the book and i was disappointed in myself that i realized so late and that i read that at a time i wasn't really looking for anything sublime to read.
its not batman and amadeus speaking but amadeus only speaking his crazy mind and his vision works for the scenes we are seeing on the batman side there is no narrative whatsoever for the batman/killer croc fight but its what amadeus writes in his journal that works very well to describe the scene and i got tricked by it.
this for me eclipsed both the killing joke and the dark knight returns by leaps and bounds.
Grant morrison earns my utmost respect as one of the best to ever do it.
Dave McKean blows me away with his beautiful art.
thanks both of you for a job well done and a masterpiece for the ages.
