- BATMAN: ARKHAM ASYLUM by Grant Morrison and Dave McKeanBatman: Arkham Asylum, written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Dave McKean, was originally published in 1989. The fifteenth anniversary edition also contains Morrison's original script and storyboards. The inmates of Arkham Asylum have taken over the institution, and will only release their hostages if Batman comes inside. Batman deals with his own sanity as he confronts the usual crowd of villains.
Dave McKean's art is dark and atmospheric, and it fits the book perfectly. However, ... Read More

- Insert Batman to sell comic booksWow what can I say about this graphic novel... I honestly didn't like this book, but just because I didn't like this book doesn't mean I can give it a 1 star. It was a book, it had color and technically it was completed. After reading this book I felt like the author's just wanted to shock me. It didn't feel like a true batman story, and the ending was a joke. I don't want to give anything away, but the way they made Harvey look in this book was horrible. Took his coin away and moved him Tarot cards, ... Read More

- Good, but not GreatThis is a pretty good Batman story, but has a few problems. First I'll start with the good. Personally I really liked the art work here. It's not the traditional comic book art work (which might bother some), but I think it fits the story they're trying to tell here. I like the theme and ideas of the book. It's easy to imagine with all the criminal master minds in Arkham that they would be able to take over the place (they seem to escape from there easy enough). Also, drawing comparisons between Batman ... Read More

- In the mouth of madnessFor any beginning comic reader, and even more so for anyone else, "Arkham Asylum" is essential. Claimed by DC to be the best-selling graphic novel of all time, "Arkham Asylum" is deep, psychological, terrifying, and as dark as any comic I've ever read. Grant Morrison writes with an explorative and bleak psychology reminescent of Alan Moore -- but Moore's own darkly contemplative and psychological Batman work, 1988's "Batman: The Killing Joke," was never this ghastly. Thanks to Dave McKean's beautiful and utterly ... Read More

- Too short, ho-hum storyThe only way I'm willing to pay this much for a graphic novel is to know that it is good and long and will take me a few weeks to go through it a few pages at a time.
Arkham Asylum is far too short with most of the novel being taken up by extra materials, sketches, essays, and other worthless crap. The story is also not all that interesting. Like many others I am sure I hold every batman story up against Frank Miller's work, and that isn't always a fair comparison. With this, however, I got a short graphic ... Read More
