    Amazing!

    --Slight Spoilers Ahead--

    Obviously, this is one of the most morbidly fantastic comics ever to be published! The portrayal of the Joker is very sick and sinister; the way a Harlequin of Hate should act. Reflecting into the Joker’s “past lives” was done trough a very poetic way, it was as if the Joker was speaking in tongues. It was insanely well done! The whole plot was well planned out and very chilling. Setting it up in such a creepy scenario gives the Joker’s “reincarnation” a very exciting feel; a feeling that hasn’t been felt since “the Joker’s Five Way Revenge” or “The Laughing Fish”. It was brilliant! Even the way Joker uses Harley Quinn as a puppet for her own death was sear genius. This is definitely a book worth reading.

The story is not illustrated like any comic book, with art work plus the narration and the characters' dialogue. The Clown at Midnight is the complete opposite! Text, with some Photoshop/3D art work to accentuate the pa...
