GRAPHIC NOVEL REVIEW: Batman: Mad Love - Paul Dini, Bruce Timm


BOOK BLURB:

Gotham City is plagued with crime and corruption in places high and low, but one man has taken a stand against evil of all forms: the dark avenger known as Batman. The Dark Knight's skills are taxed to their limits by his nemesis, the Joker; add the Joker's would-be girlfriend, Harley Quinn into the mix, and it might just be too much for the Batman to handle! Now, the Eisner Award-winning tale of how Harley captured the Batman - plus many more - are collected in this handsome hardback volume. Written by "Batman: The Animated Series" mastermind Paul Dini (Countdown), with art by award-winning B: TAS character designer Bruce Timm, this is a must-have collection for fans of the "Dark Knight" in all his many incarnations!


REVIEW:

OK, I’m a fan of the Batman Animated series so here in this graphic novel offering I get the excitement of Dini’s writing with the artistic talents of Timm. It’s a cracking offering and one that will readily appeal to fans of the Dark Knight especially those with a puncheon for Joker and Harley Quinn. Add to the mix that the titles within are award winning and you’ve got a pot of gold to readily enjoy. A great offering from Titan and one that I heartily recommend.
