Stunningly illustrated, Batman: The Killing Joke, The Deluxe Edition has been lushly re-colored by artist Brian Bolland, presenting his original vision of this modern classic for the first time. In Batman: The Killing Joke, he takes on the origin of comics' greatest super-villain, The Joker-and changes Batman's world forever. Legendary writer Alan Moore redefined the super-hero with Watchmen and V for Vendetta. Can he finally put an end to the cycle of bloodlust and lunacy that links these two iconic foes before it leads to its fatal conclusion? And as the horrifying origin of the Clown Prince of Crime is finally revealed, will the thin line that separates Batman's nobility and The Joker's insanity snap once and for all? Now Batman must race to stop his archnemesis before his reign of terror claims two of the Dark Knight's closest friends. And he's going to use Gotham City's top cop, Commissioner Jim Gordon, and his brilliant and beautiful daughter Barbara to do it. Freed once again from the confines of Arkham Asylum, he's out to prove his deranged point. Presented for the first time with stark, stunning new coloring by Bolland, Batman: The Killing Joke is Alan Moore's unforgettable meditation on the razor-thin line between sanity and insanity, heroism and villainy, comedy and tragedy.Īccording to the grinning engine of madness and mayhem known as The Joker, that's all that separates the sane from the psychotic.

With Rucka especially, it's more about the journey than the destination. But the real joy in Rucka's work has always been the characters rather than the plot. With the constant back-and-forth between Dana's story and the Steve/Etta material, the overall conflict doesn't move forward a great deal from where it began in WW Rebirth. Granted, some may take issue with the methodical pacing in this issue. And he accomplishes all of this through an efficient, dialogue-driven script. Rucka shows a clear desire to explore all facets of Wonder Woman - her fierce warrior side, her compassionate ambassador side and her simple, human desire for love and family. The dynamic between Etta and Steve alone makes their scenes worth reading, but they also reinforce the notion that there are real-world conflicts raging on even as Diana leaves the mortal world behind in search of answers. The result of this two-pronged story focus is that Rucka and artist Liam Sharp are able to strike a nice balance between the fantasy and mythology of Diana's world with the gritty, grounded realm of modern warfare. Alongside Diana's bloody journey, writer Greg Rucka also touches base with familiar supporting characters like Steve Trevor and Etta Candy. All readers really need to know is that Diana is searching for the truth about her muddled past and courting a dangerous alliance in order to further her quest. This issue picks up more or less exactly where WW Rebirth left off two weeks ago, though it functions perfectly well as its own jumping-on point for new readers.

Later in life, he started researching philosophical theories and the potential for a dystopian end of society (perhaps that’s why he was born in 1984.) These interests in the philosophy, meaning of life, potential future developments of the world, and overall curiosity about today's (and past) society led to the creation of his first book called “Curious Matrix: Questions I Always Wanted to Ask”.

These ships were built during the formative years of the United States Navy, on the recommendation of designer Joshua Humphreys for a fleet of frigates powerful enough to engage any frigates of the French or British navies, yet fast enough to evade any ship of the line.

It's filled with gorgeous mountains, sparkling waters, and the greenest greenery you can imagine. Though I can't go into specifics, they've skewed towards British Columbia for a lot of their movies, maybe because the scenery is so lush. In usual Hallmark fashion, I'm willing to guess the movie was filmed somewhere in Canada, just as a lot of their movies are. However, there's no mention of where the story takes place in the film, or on location. Knowing the way Hallmark operates, Love Unleashed is going to make your heart go pitter patter in all the best ways.

"Joanna Shupe is the queen of historical bad boys!" - Julia Quinnīy beloved USA Today bestselling author Joanna Shupe, the third installment in the Fifth Avenue Rebels series about an arranged engagement destined for disaster. I follow the audio with my ebook because I'm a nerd like that. If you are looking for a new author this is the author you want to read and or listen to. Massery is an amazing writer and I have loved every book and audio I have of hers. I received this audio as an ARC in exchange for my honest review. The mystery, angst, and twists and turns had me turning the page to see what would happen next. While listening to the audio I was instantly sucked in from the beginning all the way to the end. Tyler Darby did an amazing job voicing Jace, Appolo, Wolfe, and the other male characters in this audio. Kora is such a strong character and Addison Barnes did an amazing job bringing her to life in audio. I love audio where the female does all the female parts and the male does the male parts. This is a dark RH romance so if you have triggers read/listen at your own risk. The narrators brought life and depth to each character no matter the importance. I am so in love with this series!!! This is the second book in this series and with the audio, it is even more captivating than the book alone. |
