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

4.0

---

This famous graphic novel takes place on April Fools Day when the inmates or Arkham Asylum take over the Asylum, they're willing to release the hostages so long as Batman agree to enter the madhouse. I adored the complexities woven throughout the story and wish I could give it all the stars, however because of the art style, and the lettering it was too easy to get lost. But then I'm torn, because on the one hand you could argue that this represents the madness of the asylum, but on the other had it affected my reading. It was only for the annotated script in the back that I was able to fully appreciate the novel. At the end of the day, one thing remains clear, that Morrison is a very, very, smart writer.
