The joker escapes jail to do some detective work of his own, going from door to door searching for holiday.
It was a pleasant surprise i didn't expect the joker to grace these pages.
And holiday gets a new victim...

Not much happens in this one

The Joker is always good for a laugh and Gotham isn't big enough for 2 crazy serial killers ... except it is.

[Pato Myers · Rating 4 out of 5]

A quick, enjoyable, and nostalgic read.

Another fantastic issue on the Long Halloween series. These are interesting, so far I’ve really enjoyed every other issue just a little more than the last. They are all so good though!

In this one, it’s Christmas! Joker plays a heavy part in this issue. He’s not happy that there’s all this crime distracting Batman and the mysterious Holiday getting all the attention in his City. So he does his Joker thing and goes around terrorising the citizens of Gotham, breaking into peoples homes and stealing their Christmas’, a-la Grinch.

Meanwhile, Holiday strikes again… who are they? Stay tuned to find out - we got a while to go yet!

2024 - Year of The Bat (366 Days of Batman)

Day 115: 3.5⭐️ Fun, especially with the Joker playing detective, and not doing any better than Batman, but not a lot of story with another letdown of a victim.

Another Holiday in Gotham. Batman and Gordon see The Calendar Man, Julian Day, but find little help. Meanwhile The Joker starts looking for Holiday as well, and threatens all of Gotham until they’re found

"Then... WHO is Holiday?"

The Joker, The Bat and confusion all around. Love the art and the mystery surrounding Holiday.

I love all of the covers in the Long Halloween series, but this has to be one of my favorites
I'm obsessed with how Tim Sale draws Joker

[Nick Topakas · Rating 5 out of 5]

Love the scenes where Joker was referencing The Grinch.

What a surprise! I didn't realize the next issue of this series was Christmas. Fancy that, I read it on Christmas morning!

This issue cops plenty from Dr. Seuss' How the Grinch Stole Christmas!. Fun stuff right there.

I might be missing something from my reading. The newspapers report on crime in Gotham. Because the crime sprees have happened on Halloween and Thanksgiving, the newspapers attribute the crimes to someone named Holiday. Joker appears to be bothered by that and threatens Dent, Maroni, and Falcone about being Holiday. But isn't it Joker who is Holiday. And if so, why the threats. Confused on that.

The art is very good in this one. I love evil Joker.

Batman is introspective, somewhat feeling as though Gotham is attracting the weidos because he is there. Gordon hints at that.

We get a glympse of Arkham Asylum and meet Calendar Man, a complete whack job!

Harvey Dent is having a really bad time.

টু ফেস হিসেবে ওকে নানান জায়গায় পাগলাটে দেখালেও হারভি ডেন্ট হিসেবে ওকে মরালি হিউম্যানাইজ করাটা তেমন একটা চোখে পড়ে নাই। ক্যারেকটারটা ভালভাবে ফুটে উঠছে এখানে।

দ্য ডার্ক নাইট থেকেও এখানে ওর প্রতি বেশি সিম্প্যাথি ফিল করতেসি। এই হারভিই পরে টু ফেস হবে ভেবে খারাপ লাগছে।

[Andres Farias Riquelme · Rating 5 out of 5]

La historia sigue avanzando, y de manera interesante. Más personajes aparecen, y las relaciones entre Wayne, Gordon y Dent se desenvuelve. No me gustó mucho que abusen de la dualidad para Dent, y creo que no se enlaza tan bien con Año 1 en lo que respecta a la historia de Gordon.

oh joker you silly billy you. this was a fun and interesting issue. it was fast paced, well illustrated, but i’m more interested in the holiday plot than i am interested in joker. i really like this so far, and this one was good, but definitely my least favorite so far.

[Frasier Sarmiento]

Another amazing piece helping solve but also raise more questions

[Dennis Brock · Rating 4 out of 5]

I can see why this is such an iconic series... The Joker is written so well in this issue. 4.25/5

El Joker!!!
Una vez más, Joker pidiéndole un beso a Batman. A ver cuándo lo hacen de verdad!!!!!

Me ha gustado que muestren la parte humana de los detectives.

Joker è sulle tracce del killer di Gotham, Holiday che nel frattempo ha ucciso anche la guardia del corpo del Romano.
