Moon Knight (2006) #21 |

Just like metal, Moon Knight is a harsh experience but it can also be exhilarating and cathartic. I'm giving this heavy metal book 3.5 bullets. I'd give it four but I can't get past the mullet. (10 points if you get that joke.) |

Joker's Asylum: Scarecrow #1 |
Jul 28, 2008 |
This is some sharp entertainment. With a few purposeful exceptions, every character's actions are dictated by an individually tailored fear, and it's an interesting interpretation of the root of our neuroses, including the Scarecrow's. In this very concisely constructed story we are shown a villain who is not necessarily evil but rather fascinated with fear in almost the same way a researcher admires the brute strength of a savage beast. What makes The Scarecrow dangerous is that he has given way to his macabre fixation to the point of it becoming a sadistic mania. It's not an entirely original Scarecrow story but an unexpected setting and clever storytelling make this a fresh, distinctive and fully satisfying tale. |

Despite it's weaknesses, this is a fun book! Emphasis on fun! It's nothing especially substantial but it's a nice light snack. So sit down in your most comfortable chair with your favorite beverage and sink your teeth into this fanciful Tale from the Crypt, uhm I mean Joker's Asylum. |

Metaphysical musings aside, I liked this book a great deal. It is an excellent one-shot! |
