This original graphic novel tells the story of one very dark night in Gotham City-the Joker has been mysteriously released from Arkham Asylum, and he's none too happy about what's happened to his Gotham City rackets while he's been "away." What follows is a harrowing night of revenge, murder and manic crime as only The Joker can deliver it, as he brutally takes back his stolen assets from The Penguin, The Riddler, Two-Face, Killer Croc and, of course, The Batman-and heaven help them all. "Disturbing, violent, odly psychological and insanely wonderful."īrian Azzarello brings to THE JOKER all the visceral intensity and criminal insight that has made his Vertigo graphic novel series 100 BULLETS one of the most critically acclaimed and award-winning series in all of comics. "A literary achievement that takes its place right alongside Alan Moore's The Killing Joke." "If you liked The Dark Knight, Joker is a must-have for your bookshelf."

She was very pale after lending her energy to such a task. "It has used much of its energy to aid him. "I felt his pain within the earth," she replied softly. "You have risen early to ensure our brother is well cared for. "Syndil," Desari greeted, hugging the woman to her. She was relieved to see Desari right beside him. Syndil sank backward, allowing Julian room as he burst through the topsoil. He did not want to startle or frighten Syndil, a male Carpathian appearing beside her just before sunset. Julian rose slowly, making certain Desari was aware of his intentions and would rise with him. The sun was beginning to make its way across the sky, slowly toward the sea. Syndil was already up and working her magic. Above him, he could hear the soft chant, feel the vibrations spreading out in a ripple effect, one that moved on and outward, one that reached deep within the earth to find Darius and the soil blanketing his body. He felt the earth move around him, felt the properties of the soil enrich even as he lay within it. The disturbance that awakened Julian was not one of aggression but of something within the soil itself.

Chupeco doesn’t spend a chapter describing an action scene. While there is quite a bit of action in the story, the focus isn’t on these scenes, but on the development of setting.

Gripping story of a college student who had to complete a writing assignment and wrote about a convicted murderer on his deathbed.I had good things about the narration and structure for Eskens' debut novel. I was in the mood for some mystery fiction after writing a blog post with some references to Sherlock Holmes. He was given a term paper assignment to write about an elderly person, and choose to write about Carl Iverson, a dying Vietnam veteran and a convicted murderer. The story follows, Joe Talbert a young college student who was working his way through school, taking care of himself and soon had a lot more on his plate as the story develops. Allen Eskens is the award-winning and USA Todaybestselling author of The Life We Bury, The Guise of Another, and The Heavens May Fall. As Joe writes about Carls life, especially Carls valor in Vietnam, he cannot reconcile the heroism of the soldier with the despicable acts of the convict. I was glued to this story! I should note that I'm giving this bonus points from a 4 up to a 5 because of the excellent narration by Zach Villa on audible which added soo much personality and color to the story, as well as this being one of the few thrillers I've read so the patterns and metaphors used were new to me. With only a few months to live, he has been medically paroled to a nursing home, after spending thirty years in prison for the crimes of rape and murder.
