    Advantages Advantages Script and artwork: excellent graphic novel

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Nothing for me, although you may initially be put off by the unusual imagery

    I have always been a fan of graphic novels, and often follow the lesser known characters just as much as the more prominent ones. Something that has always remained a bit of a mystery is the history of various characters. On the Marvel side of the fence, characters such as Spiderman are being constantly reinvented with ever emerging secrets and plot developments making the character much darker and appealing.

    Advantages Advantages deep storyline, amazing artwork

    Disadvantages Disadvantages slightly disturbing and NOT for younger readers

    Advantages Advantages An incredible experience that won't dissapoint

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Can be difficult to understand due to it's complex structure

It makes for a very involving read, as it captures the very unstable mental experience that is Arkham Asylum. Batman initially enter the Asylum after receiving information that the Joker had escaped his cell and has taken over the Asylum. Though upon entry Batman realises that the Joker didn’t take control of Arkham for himself but to trap the Batman and force him to confront his own mental stability.
