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

4.0

---

Absolutely loved the art - but I will say that because of the different interpretation of the characters and the way the story flows it becomes a bit hard to keep track of the plot and who's who at times. I appreciated having the final draft with notes at the end just to see where all the villains popped up. I didn't know where Black Mask actually appeared, and had no idea Tweedle Dee and Tweedle Dum made an appearance. Also, Poison Ivy never shows up, so no idea why she's mentioned in the Goodreads description. All in all, I think Morrison tries to put in a bit too much symbolism, but overall it's a good story. Loved the take on Clayface and Doctor Destiny. Overall would recommend.
