One Hell of a Joke

this is, by far, one of the best comic book I've ever read, hands down. the story picks up with Batman going to visit the Joker, in an attempt to smooth things over and end this constant cycle of fights they have had over the years before one of them gets killed, when Batman discoverers that the Joker has escaped and left an impostor in his stead, the story begins, and in this book you truly see the Joker as the great villain he truly is, from the horrific act of violence he performed by shooting Barbra Gordon and then stripping her nude just to show photos of it to her father (Commissioner Gordon) after he has been captured,to the truly sympathetic and yet unclear back story it gives the character, while also keeping it true to the dark crime comics that Batman is, it is ranked VERY high on my list of best comic books ever, at least in the top 3, and any fan of comics in general should pick this one up, even if you don't know the extensive history these characters (Batman and the Joker) you can still get into it since their two very recognizable icons, but this book gets very personal with both the characters in that even though they are sworn enemies, they are also best friends who have to fight each other because they are on two sides of one spectrum, and it also shows how similar they are, they are both freaks, one good freak, and one bad freak, but both the same in so many ways, this book is the vest telling of the Joker for who he really is, and the relationship he shares with batman, and how deep it really is, and is recommended to the highest degree, if you love comics, or even if you don't READ THIS BOOK, it's amazing, 5 stars

What a great story. And it reads like your favorite dvds, with an alternet extended ending. Very cool.

And the joke's on... who?

Batman is my comic book. These are the characters I keep coming back to, the Killing Joke is a great stop along the way.

The Joker is perfect in this book. He's laughing, joking, even doing a song and dance routine, and he's dead serious throughout everything.

Pick this book up. And don't let your kids read it. It gets rough.

At the end of the book is a sequence called "Innocent Guy" and it, too, is worth the price of admission. Alan Moore needs no praise from me, but he deserves every sale his books earn.
