Editorial Review:

An original hardcover graphic novel that tells the story of one very dark night in Gotham City--from the creative team behind the graphic novel Lex Luthor: Man of Steel.

The Joker has been mysteriously released from Arkham Asylum, and he's none to happy about what's happened to his Gotham City rackets while he's been "away." What follows is a harrowing night of revenge, murder and manic crime as only The Joker can deliver it, as he brutally takes back his stolen assets from The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face, Killer Croc and others.

Brian Azzarello brings to The Joker all the visceral intensity and criminal insight that has made his Vertigo graphic novel series 100 Bullets one of the most critically-acclaimed and award-winning series in all of comics.

• 4 ½ Stars: " When the Whole World is after you, the SAFEST Place to HIDE is IN.SANITY"
  I have read quite a number of "Batman" tales--among my favorites were "The Killing Joke", "The Cult", "The Dark Knight Returns", the "Venom" and "Last Arkham" sagas, and of course, "Arkham Asylum". Brian Azzarello (the award-winning author of "100 Bullets") and Lee Bermejo, two of the best talents in the comic industry have collaborated for the third time to bring comic fans "Joker". This graphic novel is tough, gritty, violent and unrelenting in its portrayal of the Batman's arch-nemesis. This is not the... more info

• Good for The Dark Knight fans, but not enough of Joker in "Joker"
  The book might be perfect for someone who wants to see more of Ledger's Joker, and I'm not saying that it is a bad thing. The art is stunnig (the only thing that bugs me is too much computer work) and Joker is a brutal, inhuman criminal. The difference between movie and graphic novel is: the movie felt like Christopher Nolan's tribute to all of the years of Joker's and Batman's "relationship". It's the lines like "I think we're destined to do this forever" and interrogation scene made it a massive,... more info

• Good if you can forget everything you know about Joker
  Although a beautifully put together book, the story will likely find a lot of Joker fans wanting. Despite the fact that Joker is in nearly every panel in the book, I never felt like I was reading a book about him. It felt more like a book about a crime boss who gets out of jail and takes revenge on his old city. This Joker doesn't seem to have a lot of flair. He just comes across as a grumpy crime boss. If you felt the Joker in The Dark Knight film was a bit too grim for you, this Joker is even less of a... more info

• How bout some rabbit?
  This is one of the better Joker comics out there. Showing the sure violence, madness, and almost puppy-dog like qualities of the Harlequin of Hate, The Ace of Knaves, The Clown Prince of Crime; the one, the only; The Joker.
