Just finished reading it what's /co/ consensus on this?

Gave us a good character like Frost and then killed him.
IIRC the only good moment in this is the "to mock you" part.
I like Azzarello a great deal, but this isn't his best work.
Bermejo did good work but I felt the story was largely below average.
Normal consensus is that it's a great elseworlds book, a brand new and different take on a overused character, atmospheric and charming, a great "character study" plot.
/co/'s consensus is that it's edgy tryhard garbage that rips off Ledger's Joker (cause they are retarded enough to not know the book was made first).
Shit is pretty dank Senpai.
A good stand alone story with some nice art and interesting concepts.
I preferred his Luthor story.

Yeah Frosts fuck it suicide moment was kinda hilarious

this. the 'to mock you' part was fantastic, the rest was terrible. just boring as hell.
I'm a little mixed aBout Having the gallery basically be a bit much of street level thugs and Gotham being a slightly shitier Detroit

>Frost also dies in Suicide Squad when Joker's helicopter is taken down
First Mercy and now Frost, DC hates good henchmen

Gotham should never not be NYC in the late 70s-80s.
Absolutely shit for most and dangerous, but still a tremendous amount of old money that lives there and keeps the high end shit around.

>not appreciating the underground crime noir Gotham with Joker taking his turf back, going to the clubs and terrorizing people
>not liking Johnny Johnny's constant tension and nerve breaking edge from being near the Joker, one of the first comics that actually let us feel Joker's unpredictable nature
>not enjoying Joker's absolute paranoia looking at the rooftops and skies every time he goes out at night
You probably just don't like Joker stories period, huh.

I loved it actually.
>>86626429

Yes. Lex Luthor: Man of Steel is one of the best Superman stories I've read.
>>86626626
But I love the Joker, anon.
Its just that Azzarello Joker isn't muh Joker.
