Batman: Curse of the White Knight by Sean Murphy
4.0
A sequel to White Knight, the Joker recruits Azrael to help him expose a Wayne family secret.
I love the colors by Matt Hollingsworth. When Azrael gets his sword the colors really show how important that moment is. A black background makes the red of the fire stand out. Jean Paul's face is lit by the flaming sword so everything has a red glow and creates the most beautiful effect of the page. The letters are well done. I sometimes struggle with reading the font chosen by letterers to represent handwritten things, but that was not the case here. The font is still similar to cursive, but it was by far easier to read. I also loved the little touch of making the speech bubbles look like scraps of paper in these scenes.
There are some changes to Batman's personality. I feel like he has just given up in some parts. You see everything building up from White Knight and now Curse of the White Knight. I do love that defeated Batman, but at times it does feel like a different character.
Overall it was a great read and I can't wait to see it in print.
