GOOD
The plot of killing joke is just a masterpiece.It's not just about the joker triyng to prove something is about the relationship of batman and the joker .I think that this specific comic is the definition of their relationship tha is being build for almost 75 years (at this time).Every quote of this story is important because is an easter egg a reference or a tranfer about them(batman and joker) that can help you to go deeper in the story and the characters .But except the duo gordon and barbara are also very important characters that the've been build very good , we seen gordon in his limits between sane and insane and barbara that she got shot which is one of the most iconic moments in comics history.As for the artwork is amazing it's not the most artistic one but it's the perfect one for the situation this comic is a perfect recreation of joker's brain so the artwork has to fit so it does. I dont know what i should say about it but i think i explained myself at least at some point (ooh and focus on the hands).The best part of killing joke is that everyone can see something different about the story or the characters someone can think a different ending from someone else or take a quote differently .Except those thing another amazing thing about it is the iconic moments that it has, some of the best moments in dc history are from this specific novel that shows something.And the final thing i want to say is that the ending is the best ending in a comic ever i think that everyone that read it should agree with me.

THE VERDICT
Batman killing joke is a masterpiece .Is my personal favourite batman graphic novel because it shows about my favourite character of all time the joker and his relationship with batman.I tried to find something bad about it but i couldn't.I would say that is small but that gives you the chance to read it again and take more and more things about the story and the comic itself.As for everything else is just amazing ,the comic is just EPIC.
