Stunning visual images portray life-like two dimensional figures in motion, mostly. This stuff is eye-pop. (A term I coined. Amazon, a corporation mind you -- not that benign, Amazon (but you got to love, don't you?! ...Listen to me. Listen to me how I go on. But it is going to domain my coined term. I want to use it as it were mine exclusively. But can I do? ...But anyways!...) Mine are observations of someone new to this graphic-art genre. I offer a fresh way to look at what happens on the page. It's not the only way, it's just my way of reading the page before me. On page nineteen, delightful irony unfolds before your eyes as the pop out figuratively speaking. But back on page nineteen....the irony, unfolding there...; Visually you see a monster of a person like human like something ugly, artfully rendered(That's one irony itself.) But it's accompanying voice-over, Joker"s voice, his words, say the ugly image is beautiful, an image of himself seen by himself to be seen by himself beautiful. Eventually, Joker gets serious in his demented clown way. He has planted a stink bomb somewhere in the city set to go off at anytime -- who knows when? Maybe he has no idea when. That's how a demented, criminal clown thinks: somehow so outrageously stupid demonstrating high intelligence, an intelligence put to ill use. You are told the bomb is "silent but deadly" and you all know what that means, right? What?! You tell me. Equated to that silent but deadly bomb is his "spirit." And how Tomasi pulls it off he pulls (my finger why don't you? You pull his out stretched finger to set off) a stinker. It's great fun. Genius! WHAM.
