Text was very hard to read and wasn’t a fan of this particular story. Read more

Dieses Mal ein nicht so ganz dickes Buch in dieser großartigen Collection, aber was für eines. Ganz sicher ist das Artwork von McKean nicht jedermanns Sache, aber es ist zweifellos eines der unsterblichen BATMAN Comics. Vielleicht sollten Kids und Teenager erst einmal reinschauen, bevor sie zuschlagen. Und wieder einmal: Danke, DC ! Read more

This is not an indictment of the work of Grant Morrison and Dave McKean. "Arkham Asylum" is just as good as it ever was. I think every comic fan should read it. I think every fan of the Arkham video games should read it. Just not this version. More than any of the other DC Compact releases I've read, the smaller, manga-style format really inhibits the reader's enjoyment of this particular story. The creators made the artistic choice to have the Joker's words lettered as if it were written in blood, simultaneously sharp and splattered, with no word bubble to give it contrast. This works to great effect in the full-size version. Here, not so much. Losing roughly a third of the page area of the original has wrecked its readability. To be fair, I do wear bifocals, so someone with properly working eyes might be okay with this. If so, congratulations. It's a good story...but it's a story I can't help but think you'd be better off reading in its original size. Read more

Sicuramente un fumetto fuori dagli schemi abituali. Forse per alcuni un opera d'arte. Ma a me non è piaciuto, anche perché molto dark con le scritte poco leggibili, e disegni lontani dal mio gusto Read more

Zeer leuke collectie. In deze uitgave zijn de lettertjes soms wel echt klein geworden. Ze zijn ook niet altijd echt zwart/wit waardoor het lezen soms wat moeilijk is. Toch leuke kleine collectie in dit formaat naast de originele! Read more
