Not badI overall enjoyed this though the art wasn't that great. Story wise it was funny in parts but others were so so and there was nothing really new here that I haven't read before. Didn't like the linking this to Tom King's Batman world, would have preferred a stand alone outside Canon.
3,5/5. Interesting Joker's comic... but I was expecting something more. Being focus directly on him in a «special» issue. Good but nothing ground breaking!
John Carpenter. Joker. Need I say more?
The Joker may feel a bit overwhelming and overly depicted at times, but a story of him written by my favourite director? Of course I was going to buy this.Interestingly, the story focuses not on the Clown Prince of Crime, but a young man who falls in line with the character, and finds a place working alongside him. This leads to villainous acts committed in Batman and Robin costumes, causing incels to rise up against Enchantress, and even attacking the Condiment King. It's an interesting story w...
Carpenter lleva a extremos totalmente terroríficos y enfermizos al Príncipe Payaso del Crimen en una historia que busca pervertir por completo la figura de Batman y Robin. Sencillamente demencial.
No está mal como curiosidad, y me gusta que explote la idea de la locura/cordura del Joker, pero que de 72 páginas la mitad sean portadas y cueste 12€ y pico, me parece una barbaridad.
Just not my thing. A monologue of sorts as Joker takes on a psychologically damaged sidekick. I may also have missed the whole point, and the sidekick is actually a reflection of Joker.
El Joker se inventa su propia historia. Lo hace constantemente para seguir loco o… continuar cuerdo. Esta fue una de las grandes ideas que Alan Moore supo retratar en La broma asesina, emblemático cómic en el que lo acompañaba Brian Bolland a los lápices y, aunque el propio Moore lo deteste, se ha convertido en una de las historias más significativas del personaje. El escritor de Watchmen o V de Vendetta (entre otras grandes obras) recogió el patetismo del Joker en esa escena donde el enemigo de...
Mildly diverting Joker one-shot with THE John Carpenter (that’s right) attached to it.
3.5 stars. Is he sane but evil? Or just insane? Pretty cool comic.
3.5/5The issue centers around a young man called Jeremy, who escaped from Arkham Asylum with the Joker in the latest breakout. Jeremy is mentally ill, and writing that is a dangerous line to walk; you need to capture a level of nuance and sympathy for this person without belittling or misrepresenting them, and that’s made all the more difficult when paired with one of the biggest psychopaths in literature history. As this issue points out, mentally ill people are far more likely to be victims of...
The idea was cool, the execution kinda meh.
If you thought the movie joker was the creepiest joker you’ve seen, think again!
I'm sorry, my dear boy. But it was them or you. And making tough decisions. . . that's what being a hero is all about. I knew I had to read this when I saw the unexpected name John Carpenter because he's famously known for 🎬 movies specifically horror. So yes, I was quite intrigued to see his take for a comic and the Joker as well of all characters. That said, I figured nothing but good things can come of this. And I would be right this was a really solid book for someone who don't usually wr
Muy buen cómic condensando en pocas páginas. No me esperaba una historia tan buena. Aquí la perspectiva no es la del Joker, sino la de uno de sus secuaces con trastornos mentales. Creo que en cierto modo es una historia de esperanza y de triunfo del bien. El dibujo es muy bueno. Algo exagerado en algunas ocasiones, pero muy bueno. Quizás el punto negativo que le encuentro es que el cómic es exclusivamente corto. La mitad del tomo es historia y la otra mitad dibujos del personaje (muy buenos, por...
This is a one-shot of the joker being all kinds of crazy, it’s a quick, silly and entertaining read.
A Good outing. Nothing groundbreaking, but a sick kind of adventure.
Feels a lot like the Azzarello Joker, but with a more explicit conclusion.
One of the best Joker stories I’ve ever read, and yet it’s so short, brutal, disturbing, dark, creepy, and short. The way the mental illness is portrayed is quite uncomfortable and works so devilishly well...
The art takes some getting used to. Felt like Burch was coming off too strong, too fast. It settles down mid-issue, though. Carpenter, all-in-all, writes a solid JOKER issue. A bit predictable — I knew Joker was going to turn on our character. It reminded me a tiny bit of Azzarello’s JOKER — where it’s told from a lackey’s POV. Still, by the end of it, not sure this really added any value to the mythos.
