Poetic Story Telling A Masterpiece
Overstating it I will do to say the comic's prose is poetically done and demonstrated well, the story. Appealing to the eye is this comic. This sort of comic story-telling is completely new to me. My focus has been put to literature, the classics mostly. So I bring a perspective to the reading of the comic based on my exposure to excellence in reading texts very much as is the writing this comic demonstrates. Excellence in every aspect of both craftsmanship and creativity this comic makes apparently entertaining without being high-brow about it though demonstrating high-quality art and writing. Conveyance of character is achieved artfully. At times are there unique brilliance put on display. Many of you might criticize my critique of these series of comics and I don't care. I mean nothing more than what is here written. I believe I give expression to correct observations about what good art is. I trust my sharp instincts. I report facts about what I see and hear. This comic is poetic prose to be experienced. Achievement of poetic is read the level of character conveyance. A demonstration of sophisticated storytelling is apparently there by its design. This story is about serious stuff -- dark and mysterious. Wickedness is illustrated. Deep storytelling reports of human capacity for evil, told simply, concise and fast moving. Multi dimensions of emotion are captured visually. Character's painted face are multi dimensional by their apparent look. This is significantly serious art that deserves not to be ignored by a broad audience. Everyone ought to indulge him or her self in this appealing art form: comics, this series in particular. It's fun, if anything, it is fun and should be enough, that it is fun and done well; that's enough.

Another Great Slice Of The Arkham Series
Once again, the Arkham series delivers a wonderful slice into the Arkham universe that doesn't fail to deliver the awesomeness that is Batman.

This is the Harley Quinn I love. Wish they write her like this in her own series.
