After breaking into the industry at a young age, Sean Gordon Murphy made a name for himself in the world of indie comics before joining up with DC. In his tenure, he has worked on such titles as Batman/Scarecrow: Year One, Teen Titans, Hellblazer, Joe The Barbarian, and the critically acclaimed miniseries American Vampire: Survival Of The Fittest and The Wake with Scott Snyder. Murphy also wrote and illustrated the original graphic novel Offroad and the popular miniseries Punk Rock Jesus.
It's winding down to the end now. We get backstory for Neo Joker, Ivy, and Jack/Joker, which culminates in a decent twist ending. This universe isn't the same without Murphy's art, but this issue in particular makes me want to see a take on Batwoman and Alice.
4 stars. I need this series to nail the ending because the last two issues have been really good! Marian and Ivy and Harvey at the end were my favorite parts of this one but the entire thing was pretty great.
I was kind of iffy about this series, but as it's gone on, I've either lowered my standards or it's gotten better. Genuinely enjoyed the twist at the end, too.
