Maybe its a good thing I havent read it yet.
Yep, thats the one.

It's certainly not horrible...Bermejo's art is fantastic. From a visual point of view their Joker is damn near perfect, and the story is pretty solid - they just didn't have much of a grasp on the character. It was like they saw what Heath was doing with it, and said "Hey, lets take that Joker, but make him twice as sadistic!", "Yeah! Then we can take away his sense of humour and put him on pills!" :rolleyes:

My opinion is if you already have it, its certainly worth reading...but I wouldn't suggest anyone rush out to buy it.
