Horrible! 0
I was really looking forward to reading this issue because it's a great premise. I would love to see this done with a better writer, a better artist would be good too... But it was the writing that killed this book. The dialogue reads like it was written by someone very young trying very hard to be smart or funny. The Joker's mind was filled with high school-nonsense. There was no attempt at a story at all, It could have taken place in a white room. There was nothing clever about the two of them...

Beautiful art, Tragic story 0
The art was fantastic, with Joker swapping appearances from panel to panel and it really reflected his character, which is more than can be said for the writing. The characterisations were extremely off target, with the Joker sounding like a needy 'emo kid' and Superman coming off first as a hard-ass bully, then as if he's trying to get along with the Joker! The issue has no set up, no pay off but the 69p entry fee is justified by the gorgeous Joker panels...

Loved it 0
Great all round, Superman and Joker taking the piss at each other by deconstructing each others characters. The deconstruction of Joker is just so provocative, exactly as you expect from Max Landis. The page with all the different Jokers was just awesome including the Heath Ledger and the New 52 faceless one....
