Ok, so it has been way too long since the last review, and to anybody who actually believes in comics…..sorry for the delay. Now, on to the PICK OF THE WEEK!!
Some of you might have seen this coming and if you did, good job. Paul Dini(if you don’t know who this dude is do yourself a favor and look him up on Wikipedia…and be amuthafuckinmazed) has been delivering the goods on detective comics for a few months now with his amazing one-shots. This issue, ”Slayride” was insane. To sum it up, Robin is tied up and riding shotgun with The Joker at the wheel. The action is intense as the Clown Prince of Crime plows down pedestrians left and right with Robin unable to get himself untied. The dialogue moves from hilarious to truly frightening and it sets you on the edge of your seat wondering how it could get any worse, which of course, it does.
This issue, in a mere 22 pages, manages to pull off perfectly what we need to see from a Joker story. The fact that this dude is a THREAT. Over the past I don’t know how many years I’ve seen too many covers with The Joker getting the total shit kicked out of him. Or stories where he is just this parody or a stereotype of himself. Fuck that shit you need to be scared of this motherfucker. Batman knows. Nightwing knows. The Gordons know. Jason Todd really knows. And by Jason Todd I mean the second Robin from the 80’s not this bullshit Red Hood bullshit.
………so yeah, buy this comic. You’ll love it!
