Writer and Artist (Showoff): Tony Salvador Daniel
Batman and the Joker fight. Batman wins. That's pretty much it. Oh and the ending was horrific.
The story is a regular Batman versus Joker story. Same old shenanigans between the Caped Crusader and the Laughing Prince. What shines in the book is that Daniel knows how to do it right. The art is crisp and exciting, the dialogue natural. There was no part of the book where I didn't have fun reading it. Yes I've probably been told this story a buttload of times, but it's still fun and exciting. There's nothing old about ultimate good taking on ultimate evil.
The book itself is pretty self contained, excepted for a gruesome ending that I'm not giving away. It sets up what may be an interesting story arc. I can't wait to see what they're going with the Batman franchise, as they can move around some of the more tedious parts. Sometimes it's good to shake up the status quo.
So recommended for those who love a good Batman story, Joker fans, or just someone who doesn't have anything better to do with $2.99, plus tax.
