This is the story of how the joker came to be, not how he was created, but his first crimes and development. Although its too short to show his full development into what he'll become, it's pretty good at showing his beginnings. The story is dark and gloomy and, although we don't know how he gets to Arkham at the beginning, he has a dope reveal. The story is fun and entertaining, not a lot of plot holes due to the relatively straight forward storyline. Does not have a lot of reread value.

This is a review of the whole story because I'm too lazy to write 7 reviews for each issue. If you're a casual fan, don't read this, the story gets very hard to read and it just doesn't make sense at some points. The ending is fun and climactic, and the artwork is very good but it doesn't make up for all of the content leading up.
