frankenstein, the joker and comics



2 more. not really happy with how the 'lab' one turned out. too much of a mix of things. it doesnt make sense, and doesnt do the two different elements justice. They distract eachother too much without adding to eachother.
Not the way different styles and elements add to eachother like it does in arkham asylum, by dave mckean. And he has to use fucking white textblocks. Hmm.. I need to think my stuff through more...

Speaking of Batman and comics and whatnot, be sure to read 'The Joker' by Azzarello and Bermejo. The story is amazing, and so are the drawings. It shows a really twisted joker, a twisted mind. Not twisted, mean-twisted. Yeah, ofcourse, mean-twisted, but more like he really has mental issues. Episodes. Snapping from sane, to insane, to sane, to suicidal, to smart, to crying, to homicidal.

Also, pick up the afore mentioned Arkham Asylum by grant morrison and dave mckean. The story lacks some sense sometimes, at least, i feel like it does, but the drawings make a helluvalot up for it.
