Joker (hard cover) – Brian Azzarello (100 Bullets) wrote this tale of Batman’s most prolific nemesis. Drawn by Lee Bermejo (Lex Luther: Man of Steel), this story arc focuses primarily on the random madness that makes up the Joker’s life. It can be seen as a continuation of the summer blockbuster, The Dark Knight, as the characters are portrayed in the same light. After just being deemed no longer insane and released from Arkham Asylum, the Joker looks to retake control of the city that he considers rightfully his.
This is, by far, one of the better hard covers that I have read in a while. The tone is both funny and dark, and the artwork is done very well. I started reading it and I could not put it down until I was finished. For anyone interested in the Joker and his relation to those that work for him, this one is a must read. If only Heath Ledger were still around, this would make for a great story basis for the next Batman film.
