About this ebook
You will be blown away.'-AIN'T IT COOL NEWS Brian 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 seriesof all time. 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 heavenhelp them all. Told through the eyes of his loyal (but naive) henchman Jonny Frost, JOKER is a true noir crime novel: a harrowing journey into a city of rain-soaked streets, dirty sheets and nothing but bad choices.

A little on the short side but definitely worth while. It's fun to get into the mind of those who follow the most notorious villain in comic book history.

NOT VOL.2! Google Books FUBARs the info on YET ANOTHER EBOOK! This is a stand-alone & at most should be called Vol.1. But they misnamed the upcoming Joker (2021) collection as Joker (2018) so they THINK this must be that PRE-ORDER's vol.2 - even though this came out 3 YEARS EARLIER! Google dimwits post book info without actually reading or often posting the publisher's blurbs about them which is always the most accurate info & includes such facts as if it's a collection or if it's a volume in a run.
