Honestly, I’ve always had a hard time with DC comics; they tend to remind me of why I used to avoid reading comics altogether. I’ve found them a bit overwhelming because the bubbles and sidebars can be hard to follow. I’ve always preferred reading books in a more straightforward format. That said, I have started reading more comics lately.
This one caught my interest but is no exception to the usual style. It’s a bit all over the place and not the easiest to read. It is the Joker after all, so I guess that fits. LOL. In this story, it seems like the Joker has sort of fallen off the radar. I’m probably missing some backstory since I don’t catch every single reference, but I’m still able to follow the main plot. The tricky part is figuring out whose thoughts or words are in which bubble. I didn’t even know who was speaking for the first part of the first comic. It almost feels like I’m reading two stories at once, which is challenging for me.
Anyway, there’s another Joker pretending to be the real one and causing all sorts of trouble. Meanwhile, the real Joker just wants to be left alone, but of course, that doesn’t happen easily. When someone says, “The Riddler is going to want to speak to you,” you know things are about to get interesting!
I’m not a huge Joker fan, and this comic is a bit tougher to follow in terms of understanding everything. Still, the story has grabbed my attention. I’m curious to find out who the impostor is and what the real Joker will do. I’m guessing it might have something to do with the multiverse, but I’m not sure. We’ll see as I finish it.
