blackmetalblackheart 's review for:
Batman: Arkham Asylum: A Serious House on Serious Earth
by Grant Morrison
Like most things that Grant Morrison writes this can come off as pretentious nonsense. In fact, at a first pass, I was ready to rate this much lower. The story does not fit the normal feel of a Batman book. The art is messy. The lettering is unreadable at times. However, the 25th anniversary edition has the original script along with notes from Morrison. It helped see why a lot of the choices were made and brought clarity to the overall vision. Maybe I should not rate the book four stars if it takes extra commentary to appreciate the content. In the end, it felt much more satisfying with the notes there. Beware that this is definitely not a book for everyone, and in many senses, does not fit the mold of a typical comic.
