My favorite week of the month, Batman, Batgirl, and Batman and Robin! Best $7.00 ever spent!
Death of the Family has been great all around. Notice I said great and not phenomenal, it has been very good but not as good as Court of the Owls. This issue turned that completely around. This single 40-paged comic has everything a good comic should; good pace, great plot, snappy writing and amazing art. This issue was so intense that I had to intermittently pause and take in what had just happened. The Joker rigs Arkham with traps that are both creative (in a sick way) and freaky. Joker's talking seems naturally insane (if that makes any sense) and is not forced like so many terrible authors make happen. The ending was crazy and awesome. I hope the finale is spectacular.
First of all I would like to say that this series has been the best Death of the Family tie-in thus far and #16 didn't disappoint. In #15 Damian is forced to eat bugs at the zoo in this issue he is forced to fight his own father, really what could be better? The art is beautiful as usual and the Joker that Peter Tomasi has created is wonderfully maniacal. There is a near escape that is thrilling and creepy. I don't think I can say much more about this book without spoiling all of it.
Wouldn't it be cool if Joker and Batgirl got married? Well they do in this very good comic. Their wedding is proceeded by an already creepy issue and has the story all set up for a chaotic issue. This issue is chaotic but very well thought through. An uninvited guest comes and crashes the wedding literally. The Joker is also very psychotic in this tie-in which serves the story well.
