Arkham Asylum

the comic in insanely awesome. but the print is aweful. barely readable.

The best Batman graphic novel that i've ever heard.

Sometimes i go for a play i cant understand and they call it art. This is a prime example of art.

Very interesting artwork

This book is super short it's the shortest book I've ever read. It's totally insane bro.This s*** right here will mess you up BIG TIME. This S*** is DA BOMB bro.

I was really disappointed by the late delivery by amazonAbout the bookI really like how batman is just a shadowThe artworks is amazingThe story is all about the mad houseIts not related with gameThe book is very short but the story is goodDon't expect some fighting it is all about psycho and horrorAnd it is one of the best batman stories in history

The 80's batman was the best era for batman. And the late 80's gave us this beauty. A simple character driven story connecting the lives of batman and the founder of the asylum. This is the scariest batman story you will ever come across. The artwork is stylistic and breathtaking. It adds to the creepiness. It makes you feel like you are in the asylum and makes you wish you get out of the damn place ASAP. Joker at his terrifying best makes it a book worth having

The artwork is not conventional.When most graphic novels tied up with the realism, Arkham Asylum was built upon expressionism.The idea of the artist was to make the readers, feel the emotions of Batman inside a mad house.And he succeeded in it also.You can see chaos inside the book.And you can feel it also.

What I wish for from a comic, a book, a film, is to be drawn, compulsively, into the world it presents. The artwork and premise of Arkham Asylum captivates me and keeps me reading, but all the way through I feel as though I'm reading it through a pane of glass. It doesn't draw me in. It doesn't make me care. The writing seems self conscious to me - "I am a clever comics writer, so what can I write that will show everybody that? I'll make it really dark and nasty, but to show that I'm an intelligent, serious writer I'll also include this back and forth narrative between Batman entering Arkham and facing his old enemies and the origin story of the asylum itself. I'll put in layers of esoteric symbolism and question the sanity of Batman himself." And that is all well and good - like I say, the premise attracts me, and I don't find fault with those creative decisions. It's what ISN'T there that leaves me feeling disappointed: a story that is more self aware and wise and really enjoying itself. If you like atmosphere and you're not to fussed about having your heart connect with the comic, then this could be excellent for you.

Lavish Art and a phenomenal story

A bit ghoulish even for batman. The artwork is very psychedelic. I found the story a light on substance. Amazon delivered it on time and in perfect condition so pleased about that side of things.

This book is very diffrent from the average graphic novel with the mix of media that is used in the art work, it gives it a dark and sinister look which suits the story, I think the only down side to it is the pages are on the thin side but it's not flimsy enough to be able to easly tear out. I really enjoyed looking at and reading this book It took a diffrent approach then other graphic novels I've read and I am happy with my purchase. :D

Very happy with this item.
