Batman: The Killing Joke by Alan MooreMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Hectic.
This is a Joker origin story and it's wild. Joker's determined to prove it only takes One Bad Day to turn the sanest person crazy.
The story is super dark but it's fascinating to finally get a reason for Joker's descent into madness. He's a proper villain here, showing why he stands as Batman's greatest adversary. It was chilling to read at times.
Artwork is solid and matches the tone of the story so well. Some really clever style choices, and the colours are just as insane as the Joker. Brilliantly complements the story.
This is one of the big stories that all Batman fans need to read. It's brilliant and important and short enough that it won't take too much reading time.
A little too dark to say I enjoyed it, but it was really well done and I highly recommend it to Batman fans.
