Just a heads up, Blogciety.com has posted a 13 page preview of the new Joker graphic novel and it looks great! I'm definitely going to pick it up. I had read it's coming out at the end of October but then I saw that it's coming early November. Anybody know the exact date??? Oh, they also have a review of the novel as well. Enjoy!

Yep, I've been looking forward to this for a little while now, looks good. I've had trouble finding an exact release date too, I've read Oct. 22nd, Oct. 29th and like, Nov. 4th. Either way, I'll be picking it up whenever it comes out.

As I've mentioned to Kovac in the 'future castings' thread, IGN said that this book may be the best Joker story ever. Comparable to Killing Joke.

Oddly enough, Amazon.co.uk claims it came out October 7th, yet they also say it's currently unavailable...

Anyway, I can't wait for this. It had better live up all this hype now...

Right, this thread's a little old, but I just wanna say I got my hands on it. Don't ask how. The point is, though, I've read some of it and I'll post my final verdict on it yesterday, when I re-read it. While not tired. It's actually pretty complicated- the story's simple and all, but the character study is multi-dimensional and interesting.

I'll tell you that I have never seen the Joker like this before. I guess he's somewhat similar to Ledger, but... well, read it and you'll understand.

I bought/read this. I enjoyed it! This graphic novel definitely offers an examination of the Joker's character that we've not seen before. It's also pretty violent/gritty, which is nice, I don't want a Joker story for little kiddies. Overall though, it's a solid story told in a unique way (from the perspective of one of Joker's thugs).

The Joker's gang in this book is, hands-down, the greatest Joker gang ever.

I wasn't too satisified with the portrayal of Harley Quinn, though.

It was alright, milked the whole Heath Ledger look a little too much imo, but it was good nonetheless.

read it

cant say if i like it better than The Killing Joke though mhmm

THE KILLING JOKE IS THE BEST

i concur

This book has possibly the single most disturbing image I've seen in a comic. You know what I'm talking about.

is it the one where he skinned the one dood?
not that disturbing really for me anyways

You nailed it. The idea is just horrifying as is the image.

since its the Joker were talkin bout
not really
i like the confrontation in he zoo the best
when Harley shot everyone as the gorilla and the Joker cut Two-Face up with that gnarely hand

Could someone post some scans?

No. Buy it. It isn't that expensive. Yes, I'm a hypocrite.

i just downloaded it as a pdf srug

Aw, but you miss out on not buying it. Seeing the extra stuff not worth shaking a stick at. The hardcover has a nice texture and it's just a nifty book to own.

i might if i can get some money
theres a Borders at a supermall that were going to for band next month, ill find it then

what's the name of the novel? Hopefully I can track it down here

The Joker. That's it. Pretty simple.

Read it...

A great read...
