Batman, Volume 3: Death of the Family by Scott Snyder

5.0

---

A true horror story that shows why Joker is the villain of villains. It never really was batman's story, and through both the dialogue and the plot Joker manages to draw aces right off the top of the deck. I loved it. It was dark, but it didn't go to the perverted or uncomfortable to get there (unlike some famous joker stories)-unless maybe you count the face thing. The art blended into the bleak tone, and maybe the only slip up was including some other villains in this one-man show. This is the "criminal minds" of Joker stories, and it's a trip.
