    I Find it Kinda Funny, I Find it Kinda Sad.

    After reading this issue I saw Joker in a whole new light, not just as some murdering psycho but as someone who also has emotions regardless of how deranged he is. I am getting pretty tired of the whole childhood trauma stories that almost every villain seems to be having but I guess if they didn't have the trauma they wouldn't have a reason to be villains. The art on this issue is a contras or something bright and colorful to something dark and almost life-less so it's very pretty to look at and seeing Joker go on a crazy adventure with his sidekick Jackanapes is something really fun to watch develop. Also the fact that Andy Kubert actually made me feel a little bad for the Joker was very unexpected I mean I've seen him beaten to a bloody pulp and put in a body casket and even die and felt nothing for him but the fact that I actually felt bad for him after reading this issue kinda played with my emotions because I felt sorry for a murderous psychopath. So for that I give this issue a 5/5 star rating.

      I was really hoping that after Snyders treatment of Joker we would get something decent, but no i had to get my hopes up and get this afterwards.l'm not even going to waste time on the introduction on this one, it was simply put a Bad issue, and i did not enjoy it. The Problem here is that Kubert waste an issue completely, this could have actually been something interesting, but it turned out to be just for the Laughs, which doesn't make sense because we don't really read Joker stories to laugh,...
