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

dark mysterious

4.0

after reading the original pitch script thingie at the back, i kinda wish they’d chosen a different artist… which is crazy bc i love Dave’s art! but i’d say almost half the time it’s a little too dreamy and ambiguous. it kind of makes it less scary and hard to even tell what’s going on. the part with

Maxie Zeus is an especially sad example of this - the description Morrison gives is SO much better than the blurry blue mess that we got.

BUT other times, like with

Arkham finding his murdered family,

Dave’s art style fits PERFECTLY & elevates the whole thing. idk. i kinda want to see this reimagined with another artist… is that like, horrible? anywho great writer great artist so still a 4 even though i do think some of the scenes were mid compared to the full script.
