ohnoflora 's review for:
Batman: Arkham Asylum - A Serious House on Serious Earth
by Grant Morrison
I think if I'd read this at 20, I would have loved it. I do get why it's so seminal. It's a superhero comic! But it's psychological! It has literary allusions! And symbolism! It's transgressive and weird in a way that is a bit old fashioned now. It's a young person's book by someone excited by their own cleverness and daring. I am being a bit condescending but the book is pretentious so I think it evens out. 2 stars really but one extra because of Dave McKean.
