The Joker: Endgame by James Tynion

25241784

I like these collections. These are the best issued of all of the series that the story crosses over. This book if I am being honest didn't do as good of a job at being one big story as Joker: Death of the Family. I was so fortunate to be allowed the chance to read and review this by DC Comics and Edelwiess. I enjoyed it but not as much as I had hoped. The ending was also a little less than awesome, but that's all I'm going to say on that one. 

The Joker is back with a fresh face and a plan to wipe out everyone in Gotham. Batman is struggling with the toxin Scarecrow hit him with in earlier issues causing him to live his death in different ways over and over again. Batman is going to need al the help he can get and he will find it in some of the oddest places. 

Most of the issues that are pulled from different Batman series involve a small group of Arkham escapees who are sharing there Joker origin stories. This for me dragged on and I could have really done with out this. I understand the purpose behind this little interlude I just didn't care for it and I felt it kind of took away from the main story a little. I wanted more Joker and more Batman. The best part of this book was  the issued written by Scott Snyder. I am anxious to read Batman vol 7 to have all of these back to back and see if there were other issues not included in this collection. 

I also want to mention that a good portion of the art work was pretty good. There were a few issues that I wasn't all that impressed with but over all there is a lot of detail to the panels and The Batgirl issue had the story told all in pictures with a few little text items thrown in. It was actually a pretty good issue. Over all this was a pretty good book but I had higher expectations. I give this book 3 out of 5 stars.

Each week there is one blog featured by each host and a question to help us break the ice and open discussion. Since I am new to blogging I don't currently have a preference as to how you follow me.

If you have kids, what are your favorites to read to them?  When I was a kid I really liked the Curious George books, but my favorite were the Berenstain Bears books. I loved these, and every time we would go to the book store I had to get a new one. My favorites of this series were:     My Wife and I read The Berenstain Bears' New Baby to my son when his sister was on the way this year. He is 3 a

Welcome to Horrorwood: The Silver Scream 2

Ice Nine Kills Welcome to the bar, pull up a stool and get ready to rock out!!! Since this is my favorite month out of the year, I’m hitting the reviews hard with everything spooky. I will get to the rest of the blog, sports, whiskey, and other books and movie reviews eventually.  This album came out October 15th and I have been waiting for this release a long time. Here is the great thing about Ice Nine Kills. Not only are they a kick ass metal band, but they have taken the horror genre to a whole new level. Their music is clever and the perfect complement to the classic horror movies fans love. I fell in metal love with these guys with their last album the Silver Scream. Ice Nine Kills writes songs based on the plots of horror movies. As Spencer says in “Hip to Be Scared” When the Silver Scream came out I think they really came into their own commercially and artistically.” No one could have said it better than the lead singer.  Some of my favorite songs before this album where Ameri

I have to admit that I was so lost as to what type of picture I should take. Yes, I know it was supposed to be funny but I was still at a loss. I asked my wife what I should do and she asked me if I still knew how to tie a noose. Don't judge me I was a weird teen. Anyway she said I should hang my favorite book in homage to Halloween. I decided to take this a step further.
